Margaret Dell’Oglio I love that you love this movie. I thought it was underrated as well. His performance was great...I mean if you get right down to it there’s a lot of movies he’s been overlooked in. In Hollywood it’s known as “slapping the stud” you’re good looking, you have money, you have fame, you have women, but never the award
Not only is he a great actor, he has other interests in architecture, art, music, science (STEM), and nature ! He is so well rounded and seems so genuine. I would love to be able to meet him one day to talk, because he has so many interests ! 👍

@@rakeshsharma3871 Lol i didnt mean it to sound like that. He's obviously still great looking I'm just sad about the passage of time. He can't really play like a typical hot lead. He has to play an older man now.
I liked the movie; Brad Pitt did a great job, Eric Bana was great; it’s entertaining, exactly what movies should be, they aren’t supposed to be brain surgery.
Yeah and actually the movie did have some mistery and references but they don't have to actually tell 'look here is the reference' to understand them, he performed the character so well, but seems like he didn't understand it that well after all.
Great performance of Achilles from tyrant to sensitiveness at the end. Leadership at his best acting beyond the king of kings. Love this interview. Fibonacci numeric sequence has a lot on his face and beauty.
What an amazing person , very well spoken , very mellow and he just absolutely loves what he does in his acting career. The amount of love that he has for being with great personalities just inspires me because i also love being with people who mean something and have something to bring to the table , not talking about money of fame but just a personality , a character . Great respect for Brad Pitt and the movie is just the greatest i've seen it like 10 times.
I was never a fan of Brad Pitt but his potrayal of Achilles was excellent. He imbibed the spirit of Achilles. The movements, the expressions, the soft moments, he transcended his own personality and he became the character. It's a high bar he's set.
Yes well if you are a fan of Achilles or epics like that then of course you want the best person in that role and I think he was. I liked the reluctant resentful hero attitude of him.
Troy, one of my favorite roles for Brad Pitt.. I mean he was 40 y/o and those fight scenes looked so amazing!! He was definitely someone to love and hate in this role. So many powerful scenes in this film. Great interview & great job Brad!!
Omg I never knew Brad was such a nerd! Look at him, so eager to explain the movie and his character the right way, like his life depends on it 😀😀 beautiful AND cultured
i am straight and i don't like to admit that guys look good or attractive, but brad in the early 2000s is an 11 out of 10. no other guy that was crowned the "sexiest man alive" or something like that has the whole package brad has. no matter who you put next to him, really no matter who, most women would choose brad in his best looking shape.
The only two who could compete are Chris Hemsworth like right now and Jon Bon Jovi like Brad Pitt in mid 90s and early 00s. JBJ in the it’s my life era, Brad Pitt in Troy and Chris Hemsworth in Rush make a very tight competition in the sex appeal/looks department. If you ask me the three best looking male celebs ever : it’s Brad Pitt, Cris Hemsworth and Jon Bon Jovi.
Well,Bloom played a womanizing coward who let his family down and let Troy burn all for a woman so it was kind of a thankless part.But as you said, a great film nonetheless.
Oh Charlie, I miss you every night. There was nobody to interview like you. This superb interview is all your doing. They have not replaced you. So Long! (2 May 2020)
It's true, he is a intelligent thoughtful bloke, must underrated in that department, his recent magazine interviews and some of his TV ones are really insightful and helpful to many people.
TROY is a fantastic movie. Just When I thought Brad couldn't be a better actor, his portrayal as Achelias took him to a whole other level. He should have gotten an award. moho
I just rewachted the movie and around the end I saw and realized that Ned Stark killed Lord Commander Mormont. Damn it . Btw great movie because Sean Bean didn't die. 😂😂✌️
Loved that movie, was totally underated. Brad was amazing and loved his character. One of my favorite movies of all times, think I watched it a million times.
Can any of you people who claim that Brad’s performance and the film are mediocre please elaborate on your thoughts? I’d love to know why you think this, soon to be, classic film is so bad. I doubt you know what you are talking about.
Richard Smerglia it wasn't brads place to have a big spectacular performance of acting a stone cold killing warrior. It was more of king Agamemnons job of acting out the charismatic kings wrath kind of deal
@@juliane.karroyomiguel6034 Los Angeles, E. Hollywood.. N. Van Ness the rebellious former neighbor. You own local Joan de Arc. A mench. At the moment visiting LACMA. My smile is more sly than the Mona Lisa. My Hebrew name Jacova is the female form of Jacob. I was born March 11th in a Bethlehem. Lchaim. I worked on the editing of Jacob's Ladder with Tim Robbins and Danny Aiello and Elizabeth Pena. I worked for Joe Daugustine, editor of the RZA...Tarantino Golden Fist Film. Thanx for reminding me, I need to apologize to him. Is this about the Moses Timeline documentary where I wrote under the Reign of Fire thread on Tuesday that no amount of roses or money the world would make me turn from God. I then told my friend Parisa. I am sorry about Garpard Thomas Ulliel dying in Rosiere. He's now a Saint. Gaspard means treasurer. Thomas means Twin. Rosiere. Merci Beaucoup. Danke.
He based part of his character of Achilles on Chris Webber!! that is one of the most interesting things I have heard in a long time. SO random no one ever could have guessed.
I have started my journey into the epic ancient literature by starting to read the Iliad by Homer. Didn’t have the chance to read it when I was still a child or teenager. But better later than never. I find it truly captivating. Makes me feel like a Myrmidon favored by Gods under Achille’s command.
I so agree that lighting and flow in architecture makes for a better mood in a space and skylights and curvature feels less confining. Architecture is art.
Brad is, was, and will always be my favorite actor of all time. The way he delivers his lines are very natural. His performance in Ad Astra should have gotten him his OSCAR. To have that much emotion portrayed only in his eyes... his speech and his demeanor was calm (that's what his character is) But you see the emotions in his eyes/face. Superb performance.
I read a book called" Loving Frank" , a life story of Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous Architect..I would like to see Brad play Frank when he is a little older late fifties early 60 ties..His life was amazing. I loved this book.. a must read book
This was 5 months after “Mr and Mrs Smith” started filming... you can see him already falling in love with Angelina, and the part about “getting everything on the table (with Jen) no matter how uncomfortable” being freeing... Courtney Cox said he told Jen he was attracted to Angelina. Angelina was even quoted saying “A few months in I realized ‘I can’t wait to get back to work’” referencing Brad. Man! Das what he’s talking about, and he prob hasn’t even fully admitted the extent of it to himself yet.
Probably one big mistake he made. Leave a good wife for someone who is younger and appeared physically more attractive to him at that time. But who am I to talk about it.. We never see what happens behind the curtain
miss charlie...we need this type of conversation in America desperately...to sit and talk with dignity. lets keep it real here...pitt cant act well at this level...hes a star, got it, but please, he is no peter o toole or in the same arena as these actors...high drama is not his forte in this genre, but Kalifornia & Fight Club he was great!
The epic of Troy is all about a man, Achillius who fight to change the logos. It is all about man's moral decision as an individual not a master or slave
Iliad is without a doubt the greatest piece of classical literature I have ever read. Both it and the Odyssey are tales of war, adventure, love, glory, human suffering, death, living a meaningful life. All of it. I've read the Odyssey twice and am reading the Iliad right now. Both are a must if any of you have never read them.
@@histman3133 You don’t mention which translation you’re using, but I recommend Robert Fagles. The introductions, by the late Bernard Knox, are superb - they encapsulate a lifetime of profound scholarship. If you don’t own Fagles, you may be able to find his translations in your local library, or get them in paperback. You might also want to check out “The Sea Peoples” by N. K. Sandars. Her thesis is that “The Dorians” and “The Hyksos” were much the same people, and that their ravages of various coastlines were the historical basis for the Homeric poems far later. Also read “Shame and Necessity” by Bernard Williams, a study of Homer and Sophocles, which postulates that the Greeks had a “responsibility culture” and that “now that we are in a post-Christian condition” we would be well to go back to our origins from a thousand years BC to find a way out of our moral dilemmas. Good hunting!
@@histman3133 And another note. It’s often occurred to me that we have two kinds of heroes. The lone crazed avenger whose best buddy gets it so he goes out for the final showdown, and the lovable scoundrel who outwits his foes and goes back home to the girl he left behind him. Just about every movie you can name takes something from Homer. If you’re a Joe Campbell fan Homer is your meat. And I’m amazed that poor Jordan Peterson hasn’t figured this out. Maybe that’s why he comes across as a well-intentioned mediocrity.
I know Charlie Rose did the wrong things towards women but that doesn't change he was one of the best interviewers. Also love Brad Pitt and how he really was present during this interview and answered so sincerely.
Meet Joe Black, I thought was his best acting ever...and that says a lot...because he has done amazing work like "Troy"...was fun to see him take the "Money Ball" role too
There's tons of 40-50 yr old jacked guys with low body fat at the gym I go too. It's embarrassing really cause their all so built and just make me feel like a lil kid...but yea I guess you mean the combo of physique plus mannerism..yea it's pretty incredible. He changes his body type so fast too it's unreal.
I can see what he means tho, he was a bit robotic almost? I think he wanted to be more genuine, to open up a bit more. I still thought it was solid to keep him bottled up tho

I think the Achilles-Hector fight was one of the best choreographed fights on film of all time.
Now that’s an interview, these shows nowadays where everyone tries to be funny are crap, no wonder actors at Brad’s level don’t go there
The interviewer would turn it political 5-6 times by the end.

Feel like this interview could have gone for another hour.
Briseis was so beautiful in this film.
I’m going to Bilbao. Great interview, intelligent mind.
and Brad Pitt truely presented the hero's intentions
❤
I loved Eric Bana and Brad Pitt in Troy.
Una gran película. Troya siempre triunfal. Me encanta este actor. No cansan su acción. La clave. Noravoa ❤️💯👍👏🇪🇸🌟🍀💪🌏
NOOOO You didn't flat-lined it , the Scene with hector's father Was EXCELLENT , OMG you underrating your self TOO Much
I can see what he means tho, he was a bit robotic almost? I think he wanted to be more genuine, to open up a bit more. I still thought it was solid to keep him bottled up tho
Love troy ahhh it would be a privilege to meet him ❤️❤️❤️
Brad Pitt made an outstanding job in that movie
I love LEGEND OF THE FALL AND TROY. I CAN WATCH THEM MANY TIMES AND STILL CRYING. LOVE ERIC BANANA TOO. LOVE BRAD PITT MANY MANY YEARS
Best action film of the early 2000's
I just finished the book, The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller, and I've never seen anyone hotter at Book Club!
Brad Pitt gets better looking as he gets older, he looks the business today with his new movie once upon a time in Hollywood
He killed as Aquiles, can’t picture any other actor to play that role.
Achilles
His face must hurt being that beautiful, it's unfair to be that good looking.
