Literal masterpiece. In 100 years people will look at it like we looked at Homer's work 1000 years ago.

Most people didn't read homer 1000 years ago. The dark ages and very few books.

The simpsons wasn't made 1000 years ago moron

It was pretty great, it didn't stick to the source material much but was good on its own merit. I would have liked to see it be structured more like the Iliad, so the climax would be Hector's death and the movie would end a few minutes after that. But plebs would never understand a Troy movie without the Trojan horse and the sacking of the city.

I giggled

How did a small city field 25,000+ infantry? There were no homes or farms outside the walls.

Homer is a patriarchy enabler

what the fuck how could the movie end there

the fucking horse

the fucking sack of the city

are you serious

not with that performance from orlando bloom

you mean Hector's funeral. That would've been absolute kino

get a load of this plebo

>tfw you will never get to see Sean Bean in The Odyssey

why the fuck hollywood pass this up

>lacking emotional resonance
Maybe if you are a woman.

>Iliad without the gods
utter shit

It's an embarrassing attempt at turning the Illiad into an action flick. Brad Pitt's performance is laughable too

Troy controlled the Dardanelles and all passage to the black sea (the real reason for the war)
the city was infamously rich

it's consistent though, it's called Troy not The Ilyad. They did their own thing

>sleeps the enemy while your people get slaughtered

What did they mean by this?

everyone needs a sadfu, user

Go back to school and stop embarrasing yourself with absolute lack of history knowledge

this and dubs of truth, it's just a nihilistic revisionist bullshit, and GUESS WHAT? the screenplay is literally from one of the (((creators))) of the Game of thrones tv show. No wonder Sup Forums edgy fucks like that kind of cynical trash.

look at the photoshop on his stupid hand

>people in the 1010s knew who homer was

Let's be honest here. The source material is important but it's a drawn out incoherent mess as a story. Still, the movie leaves out important things like the role the gods played in it, which was central to the whole thing. They tried to cut out all the stuff that wasn't compatible with modern sensibilities and it just doesn't work. It could have been some real kino if it was more faithful.
