"Strike a Pose Brad Pitt"

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2004)

I feel this movie was mainly showing Brad Pitt's statue like physique off. If you may have noticed every opportunity he was given he would "strike a pose". But all in all it was very good as far as the cinematography, and sound was concerned. I loved the thousand ships. I also feel that Hector was the better actor and I was impressed with his role. His acting was great. The actress that they used (who was she?) to play Helen of Troy wasn't as beautiful as history described her to be, well actually they could have gotten a prettier actress. Who would you have suggested to be that actress? They should have depicted the meaning of Achilles's death (why he died by getting shot by a arrow in his heel). Achilles was half mortal and half demigod. His mother dipped into water hold him by only his heel. So the only part of his body that was fatal was his achilles tendon. Historically it was some what accurate if you know your Greek Mythology.
