Troy - finally !!
Aug. 30th, 2004 11:36 pmWell I've finally gotten round to watching Troy. Yes, I know, everyone probably already saw Troy billions of time but I hadn't yet. I had planned on seeing it before, but couldn't find the time nor the people to go with. Everyone I'd asked would have already seen it, so I decided to go on my own.
Okay, I do not regret it one bit. I mean how could one, if the first scene with Brad Pitt involves him lying naked, draped over some girl? And you get to see a glimpse of his buttocks? Yummie !! Ah and that's not the only scene featuring Brad's nekkid buttocks. And I do not want to hear anyone say that those were not Brad's buttocks, but a stand-in. I do not want to hear it. (closes her ears against stupid rumours). Anyway, I loved him as Achilles, the proud, arrogant warrior, who would not bow for anyone, especially not a greedy king, bent on world domination.
Orlando ? Mmm, what can I say. Orlando is a cutie ( although didn't get to see his buttocks - *pouts ), that's for sure, but I did not really like him as Paris. They kinda made him look like the stupid, spoiled little prince, who'd start whining as soon as he gets a cut (Paris clamping Hector's leg at the duel). Oh well, Orlando will always be Legolas, the elf to me.
Oh and then there's Boromir, I mean Sean Bean. Funny isn't it like you can sometimes recognise a character from another movie in an actor just by the way he would act or speak. There really were some times where I was thinking: "Hey that's not Odysseus, that's Boromir, what's he doing there?"
Last but not least: Eric Bana. I must confess I did not really know him, but ... well I'm glad I do now.
Well, I did enjoy the movie. What more can I say.
