Brad Pitt's trial of the soul

Writirng for Libertas - A forum for conservative thought on film - Daniel Crandall says he had to laugh at Brad Pitt’s account of his preparations in Malta to play Achilles in Troy:

There were times when Jen would look at me like I’m out of my mind. Malta
is just a big rock island, and I lived up in this 300-year-old stone house on a
mountain. I didn’t run the air conditioner or anything; I wanted to feel those
100-degree nights. […] We do give up our lives for a while, doing a movie like
this. It’s not necessarily fun. But I’m not a big proponent of happiness. I
think it’s highly overrated.

Brad Pitt’s version of existential self-confrontation: living in a mountaintop villa overlooking the Mediterranean (without air-conditioning: whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger) while waiting to be paid $20 million to appear in a motion picture.
