I am once again spiraling about the song of achilles (I mean, I guess I'm never NOT spiraling about it.)

here are the lines stuck in my head today~

“Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only.”

"‘It is time to return Hector's body to his family for burial. You have killed him and taken your vengeance. It is enough.’ ‘It will never be enough,’ he says.”

“Achilles' gaze lifts to meet hers. She is afraid, but does not draw back. ‘I hope that Hector kills you.’ The breath rasps in his throat. ‘Do you think I do not hope the same?’ he asks.”

“His ashes settle among mine, and I feel nothing.”

the song of achilles live action scene idea

imagine if there was a live action movie adaptation of TSOA! it would be pretty epic. if this were to happen there's been one scene that's sat in my head for so long that i think would definitely break me and hopefully everyone else (in a really emotional way).

i think that the song achilles come down by gang of youths is definitely an obvious choice as a soundtrack for the movie. but it's such a long song, what would you use?

it would be so nice to hear that cello part just anywhere in the movie. but i think in terms of emotion it would definitely hurt to hear the song towards the end of the storyline, like during the trojan war scenes.

the song itself is really emotional, and here's one of the (many) lines that stick out to me, that's repeated throughout (to make more of an impact imo):

today of all days, see, how the most dangerous thing is to love how you will heal and you'll rise above crowned by an overture bold and beyond ah, it's more courageous to overcome

now hear me out. on-screen, achilles has just found out that patroclus wore his armour into battle and died. he’s kneeled over his lover’s body. as the grief begins to set in for achilles, we hear, faintly, a cello (at 5:48). there's nothing spoken by achilles or anyone else - the whole world is silent. this would allows us to hear the above lyrics, almost as someone - thetis? patroclus? achilles? - is talking to achilles. he also slowly looks up towards the sky, as a way to avoid looking at patroclus’ body but also to send a silent message, a plea, to the gods above.

anyways yeah just a little idea i had that i wanted to share bc every time i think about it i want to cry because i love them and i also love the song so much
