Better Every Time

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2016)

I think this is Brad Pitt's best performance - he is at his peak portraying Achilles. The movie - the story (amazing), the cast (terrific), the performances (excellent) and the music of James Horner (wonderful) - and the news (to me anyway) that he died in a plane crash in 2015 - tragic. I had not seen this move in a number of years - still holds up. Excellent! I hope that those who have not seen this movie - will put it on a list of "must-see" films. Not only for all of the foregoing, but for one of the finest (and almost last) performances by Peter O'Toole - Lawrence of Arabia, Priam...whatever part he took - he was the best. I liked very much the scene between Priam (O'Toole) and Achilles (Pitt) - memorable in every way.
