The Epics of 2004
After watching Troy again, I realized it was a pretty decent flick. I didn’t give it a lot of credit before but now that I have had time to let in sink in, it has some unique features that epics usually don’t have. For example, more than one protagonist. Eric Bana, as Hector, Prince of Troy, and my main man Brad Pitt, as Achilles, the near immortal Greek. I found myself routing for both of them this time around. But I still hated homosexual-get-all-the-hot-pieces-of-ass Orlando Bloom.
Which brings me to my point. What historical epic of last year’s movie season did you all enjoy the best. I mean there was Kindom of Heaven with Bloom, Alexander with Colin Farrell, The Alamo with Billy Bob (I suppose this classifies), of course Troy. If I’m leaving one out let me know.
Love to hear some arguments or input on this one because I think Troy ranks up there with some of the other big time movies like Gladiator or Braveheart. Maybe not as good as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves but hey, there has to be one Titanic for every genre.
