response to TC Candler's criticism of Troy

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

I saw the film last week and thought it was a very memorable, well presented film, despite the facts being somewhat distorted. It was thought provoking, deeply moving, visually fantastic, and tastefully done. Brad Pitt was fantastic, Eric Bana was excellent, Rose Byrne was excellent, Brad's assistant (cannot recall his name) was excellent. I cannot understand any of the criticisms apart from Orlando Bloom who looked good but was totally unconvincing. The most out of line criticism though was of the score. I thought the music was wonderful, the theme tune and the Bulgarian choir, it was beautifully haunting and it definitely sent a chill through my spine.......... thanks to all those who were involved in a really fabulous film Shayna
