Achilles!

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2004)

brad pitt is neatly cast as achilles and gives an excellent performance just by playing himself. but what strikes one most: petersen really hits homer's mood or rather, moodiness and translates it into the film. the omission of the the gods: a beautiful tool to update the story. one wonders what might have happened, if petersen did not have to push this stupid subplot about helen that much. or if he had shed the whining about the heroes names being remembered ...
still, a remarkable film!
see it.
