Troy (2004)
Troy is
a 2004 American epic adventure war film written by David Benioff and directed
by Wolfgang Petersen. It is loosely based on Homer's Iliad, though the
film narrates the entire story of the decade-long Trojan War rather than just
the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon in the ninth year. Achilles leads
his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical
city of Troy, defended by Hector's Trojan army. The end of the film (the
sacking of Troy) is not taken from the Iliad, but rather from Virgil's Aeneid
as the Iliad concludes with Hector's death and funeral. The film
features an ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom. Troy
made it into the "Best of Warner Bros - 50 Film Collection (90th
Anniversary Collection). It was also nominated for 11 awards. It won 2 at the
2005 ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards which were: Top Box Office Film — James
Horner and the 2005 Teen Choice Awards and the Choice Movie Actor –
Drama/Action Adventure — Brad Pitt. The Achilles-Hector rivalry was ranked #50
in the 50 Greatest Movie rivalries by Total Film.
