>"I remember at one point just kind of being agog at Brad, because, you know, he'd never been in costumes like that. We had all experienced these great costume epics because we’d spent most of our time like that if we'd done classical theater; we were always without pants! Brad walked on and my jaw was down because he was so stunningly beautiful."

>"I mean, I'm straight, but I just thought, 'Wow! My God, this guy is stunning!' What chance does one have sharing the screen with this beautiful, beautiful man? I remember Brad had some issues with his lines, and I would tell the director, ‘Don’t have him speak. He doesn’t need to say anything. Just have him stand there and look gorgeous and mysterious.”

I rewatched the Director's cut of Troy after reading the Iliad recently, and honestly I still really enjoyed the film. Yes, they made some wild changes from the story (Menelaus dies, no gods, making them oddly edgy atheists, Briseis, Patroclus), but I don't think it detracted too much from the overall enjoyment of the story.
In my mind, I treat Troy like another version of the Iliad that some Bard in another part of ancient Greece 2500 years ago was telling. Slightly different than the Homeric version, but still mostly there. And with that mindset it works.

I'd love for more movies in this setting being made and am obviously excited for the Odyssey to come out in a couple months.

>>220301319
Acknowledging your fellow actor really does look like the demigod he was cast to play isn't weird, but beyond that I think age might also be a factor. Nobody loves and admires youth more than old people and Brad in this movie somehow looked like Antinous reborn despite being 40 during shooting

>Really?
Yes, of course.

I just said that I enjoyed Troy despite reading and loving the Iliad and recognizing the odd anachronisms and inconsistencies from the original work, then said I want more movies from this era to be made.
Nolan is also making some odd choices that I don't fully understand (why is everyone wearing pants? At least when you make a choice like that is can be justified for some reason or looks cooler or something. But I just don't know what justification there is for pants), but again, it's probably going to hit all the major beats of the story and it includes the gods. Telemachus' story is there, Penelope is there, even the horse is there, and I'm excited for some of the really impactful scenes (journey into the underworld).

Like with Troy, I'm fine to treat this telling of the Odyssey as if a Bard in a different city was telling the story and kinda forgot things along the way (which is what actually happened back in the day anyways).

I'm also really excited to see how Nolan goes about with the storyline. Will we open up with a flashback? Will it be told chronologically from the horse onward? Will it be told like the original story?

The problem with the director’s cut is the changes to the score, most of the extended scenes are great and Wolfgang Petersen should’ve left in the ending shot with the Troy survivors in the theatrical cut for closure

How is it gay to admire another man's appearance? It would be much more suspicious if you were like "I don't find any man good looking in any way whatsoever" because that would make it seem like you were desperately hiding something.

When the movie came out everyone talked about how good Brad Pitt looked in it.

it's more something like "what could the ""real"" events have been that stories like the illiad were based on"
>>
>>220300432
>no gods, making them oddly edgy atheists
Achilles' mother is still very much magic with a gift of prophecy, Achilles himself is inhuman, and he also says he's met the gods, and can see in his dreams what waits on the other side of the Styx. It's still there, I think, but it was drastically downplayed.

It's not gay to appreciate that, it's like appreciating a painting or a natural landscape.
>>
>>220305142
Yeah, shame that the amazing music that plays during the Achilles v Hector fight is omitted from the director's cut. But the added scenes add a lot to the movie that I think it's worthwhile.

I chose one thing. I could have selected many. I selected many things in Troy that are wrong, and I could add many more. It's still enjoyable despite this. I expect the Odyssey to be the same. I'm sorry you have crippling autism.

Will the poem be better? Yes, of course. That doesn't mean you have to doompost and ruin your own morale over it.
>>
>>220305706
I like to think the """real""" events the Iliad were based on also had the gods there, too. With the events of the Iliad (and the Odyssey), the age of heroes is over, and the gods just receded to let the lives of men live out without the more direct intervention that mortals had enjoyed in the past.
>>
>>220305491
I saw the 70mm IMAX trailer before I say Project Hail Mary, it was excellent. It was the Trojan Horse scene and it was full of tension and charged energy. I dunno bro I think it looks good.
>>
>>220306636
>With the events of the Iliad (and the Odyssey), the age of heroes is over
That's literally the reason. The Iliad is the last gasp of the age of heroes, Heracles has already ascended to godhood, his labours are over, Argo was long done, Perseus and Theseus are in the rear view mirror, and so on. The heroes fighting at Troy were B and C tier compared with those who went before them.

Troy and the Trojan War is even stated in the Cypria (an epic we only have summaries of, not a full record) to be a deliberate plan by Zeus to rid the world of the rest of the demigods and heroes because their antics and war was causing Gaia to complain and because there was no need for demigods anymore.

I know, I was just relating it to our world as to why we don't see Zeus around anymore.

Regardless, very cool. I'll have to look into the Cypria more. I've always loved mythologies.
