Epic in all senses

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2016)

One of my favorite films ever. It's a pleasure to watch Eric Bana again after watching his good acting in Munich of Steven Spielberg. Epic in all senses: a free interpretation (but not too much) of Omero's Iliad where the hero Achilles is played by a marvelous Brad Pitt. It's a stellar cast with a young Orlando Bloom and a living monument of Cinema like Peter o'Toole. Then the always so good and so beautiful Dianne Kruger. It's a film about love, a love that is stronger than army, more powerful than any King on earth. It's about being 'real men" and "real women" in the sense that for them honor is much more important than life itself and that a given word is like a big a solid rock. Am I say foolishness?
