Paris is the real villain. No honor whatsoever.

That Hector and Achilles 1-1 fight choreography is one of the best I’ve ever seen in any movie. It’s stunning!

The person who receives the sword of Troy at the end is Eneas, who after escaping Troy moved to Lazio, Italy and is considered the father of the Roman people.

i like Eric Bana very much, i think he is a very underrated actor.

Brad Pitt was excellent, but man, Peter O' Toole. What a legend. What a performance. Glad he got the honorary oscar in the end.

One of the very few movies where Sean Bean lives till the end... :P

Idk why but ive always loved the line that Achilles says “I’ll tell you a secret, something they dont teach you in your temple. The gods envy us, they envy us because we’re mortal. ‘Cause any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful, because we are doomed.”

Back then people complained about the 'historical' inacuracies. These days if a movie was as good as this, it would be the movie of the decade.

The most infuriating thing was that Hector and Achilles were two sides of the same coin. They both have the same distain of the gods that everyone else worships, and they both have strong honor codes. If they had met under different circumstances, they would have been like ‘Bro let’s drink and tell battle stories’. And of Priam could have got to Achilles sooner, what a change to the war that would have been. Priam is exactly the king that Achilles wanted to fight for. And just a fun note, I love Ancient Greek history so much that I have it in my will that I will have two coins placed on my eyes for the boat man.

Achilles wasn't just a great fighter/ warrior, he was a Demi God , his mother was Thetis the sea nymph , Zeus, the king of the gods and Poseidon, god of the sea, had both fallen in love with Thetis and were rivals for her hand in marriage , gods were warned of a prophecy that Thetis would have a son who would grow up to be greater than his father. Worried by this, Zeus arranged for Thetis to marry a mortal man so that her child couldn't challenge his power , that's why Achilles despised the gods so much in the movie

"If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector tamer of horses. Let them say, I lived in the time of Achilles." - Odysseus

The legend said that Achilles was invulnerable everywhere except his tendon. Because that was the spot his mother (a water nymph) had held him while she dipped him in the River Styx. The movie plays into this myth: Achilles is never wounded and the only arrow he doesn't pull out is the one in his tendon. So when he is found it looks as if the other arrows didn't hurt him but that last one did.

Love Bana's portrayal and Brad's. But Sean Bean's line when talking to Achilles and his cousin always stuck to me. "You have your sword, I have my tricks... we play with the toys the gods give us." Not the only great line, but I love that particular one.

"Women have a way of complicating things." Odysseus isn't just referring to Helen, or to Achilles and Briseis, when he says this, he's also referring to himself as well. When Agamemnon's messengers arrived to Odysseus's hometown of Ithaca, his wife Penelope had just given birth to their son, so he had to go to war with the knowledge that he would never get to watch his son grow up.

Ajax: I shall be immortalized for generations to come! Becomes a household de-greasing cleaning

26:56 Menelaus beating down Paris was one of the most satisfying moments I’ve ever seen in fiction tbh. Let’s not forget that he broke sacred hospitality and ran off with his wife when Menelaus welcomed them as friends.

This movie is so good that I don't even care about historical inaccuracies. The acting is top notch, the fight scenes are fantastic, the storyline is immersive. And it doesn't feel outdated. Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece! I love your videos so much❤

You guys need to watch; Kingdom of Heaven (Directors cut) And or The Last Samurai. Both are Spectacular Epic's. Also: Master and Commander. And my personal favorite, the Clive Owen helmed retelling of King Arthur.

No matter how many times I watch it, Achilles breaking down over Hector's body always makes me burst into tears as well. What a phenomenenal scene. What phenomenal dialog and performance with King Priam leading up to it. The complexity of all the characters... Just utter perfection!
