#i don’t care what anybody says there could not have been a better choice for achilles on the planet than brad pitt   #there is literally not another actor i would’ve bought as achilles on absolutely any level   #he looks the part and he moves the part and he is the perfect storm of intensity and poetry and sheer unadulterated rage   #perfect work of reception and perfect perfect perfect achilles for always and for ever

#ugh yes those tags #people always judge me for loving Troy unabashedly #but the sheer raw material talent and narrative in this film shook me to my core #I was fourteen; it was a very impressionable age #never getting over Brad Pitt's desolate godlike rage #one step outside the universe of men but still tied to the affairs of mortals #ripping and shredding his way to immortality by way of his very mortality #Troy #postcard has the best myth feels it is her there is no other
