It may be absolutely unfaithfull to the true characterization, but I love Troy version of Agamemnon. As a villian he is fucking hilarious, just check on this:
The inside of the throne room of his palace in Mycenae
and now look at the inside of his tent in the greek camp
It looks literally the same, he made it be copied in every detail ... Even the fucking throne.
His throne is right there, i can't get over that. It is unclear if the motherfucker has a replica or may have ordered the original be carried away to Troy with him
#troy 2004#troy#agamemnon#brian cox#what a fun asshole#is like the writers of the film took two main traits of agamemnon#pride and lack of self awareness#and wrote an imperialist clown of a king with that#they read “dude so ambitious he sacrificed his daughter to get the war”#and were like so... every negative stereotype applied to rancid modern politicians pushing imperialist warfare#he takes the “ fuck agamemnon ” feeling to a whole new level#i do feel sorry for OG agamemnon#he is a complex character#but in the context of the film only#I can't help loving it
