I doubt a movie can even be better...

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2013)

I truly do not know if I can ever see something so deep and thoughtful. This movie made me think of things I would've never thought of otherwise. Take a closer look and so-called "mysteries of mortality" are ripe for taking. This is not a movie about an epic hero. It's all about a choice. Thetis doesn't offer her son a choice between happy life and certain death. I'd say it is a choice between what's important to him and what most people would consider happiness. She doesn't encourage him to take one path or another. Her appearance is just genius mechanism designed to reveal Achilleses own doubts. And if you try and think about it the intensity of the choice grows beyond what I thought it could even be. What choice would you have made? And that is just one of many edges the movie touches. The writers have done their job excellently. The beauty of the words and phases at some point simply mesmerizes you. The make-up, decorations, the directors work... all of that may not be absolutely perfect, but then again, what is? In any event, they are enough to make you love the movie and even more. I also want to notice work of Brad Pitt here. It's the first movie with him I've seen but certainly not the last. Achilles is not a simple role and I cannot think of anybody who could've done things better.
