Achilles is said to be the greatest warrior ever born. That in mind, the fact that Hector managed to draw the fight out for this long, and even land a hit just showed how great a fighter he was too. Achilles tells his father, Priam later on that "your son was the best I ever fought"

[@dazediss6629]

I think you all read too much into the movie & the stories. From a historical standpoint this conflict is almost entirely conjecture and fantasy. Only the names of the people are real. We know absolutely nothing about them, or the conflict. The only way this story came to light was through Homer’s Iliad; which was written by Homer in and around 400-500 AD. The events of the Iliad happened in and around the first half of the 7th century BC. Meaning that the story is being told in pictures & poems from events which happened almost 1000 years before its author lived. Contextually it’s like someone born nowadays writing about the Battle of Hastings in 1066 - without the benefit of any modern historical or archeological findings. It’s essentially a collection of poems written about depictions of characters which were found on ancient stone & earthly versions of ceramics. The people & their names are correct but that’s all we know. Even the movie is ridiculously romanticised; it depicts Achilles as the greatest warrior of the Greek army when actually in the Iliad it’s Teucer - Ajax’ younger brother who isn’t even mentioned in this movie who kills more Trojans with his bow than any other Greek soldier. Achilles tends to be the more popular story because of his affiliation to Athena - the Greek goddess of war; who dipped him in the river Styx when he was born to immortalise him, she held him by his heel and the heel was the only part which didn’t enter the water, hence bring his weakness. As for Achilles fighting Hector, Agamemnon and Achilles hating each other, Achilles having a romance with Briseis….is all complete fantasy In historical terms it’s more likely from the texts that Achilles preferred the company of men and was considered to be romantically involved with Patroclus (his cousin). Also that Nestor was much more in command of the Greek army rather than Agamemnon, even though he’s only pictured once in the movie at the start; telling Brian Cox that the Greeks need Achilles. The most prominent characters from the Iliad are generally brushed over in the movie. It says virtually nothing of the 9 gods who appear in the Iliad; Athena, Ares (spoken of), Hades, Hermes, Apollo (spoken of), Hephaestus, Eris, Artemis, & Aphrodite. It also says nothing of Hecuba, Chryseis, Cassandra, Thersites, Polydamas, Pandarus, Dolon, Glaucas, Polydorus (the greatest warrior of Troy), Phoenix, Agenor of Troy, Diomedes, Euphorbus, and many more.

[@UKSponge360]

@@dazediss6629 I see you, but the story is myth, and as such is widely open to interpretation

[@scottb3034]

@@dazediss6629 You lost all your credibility in this dissertation the MOMENT you asserted Homer wrote this 1200 years after he was born. The man was born around the time you assume Iliad takes place. Which is also wrong based on the prevailing thought. If the Iliad was an account of true events the events are purported to be centuries, not a millennium, before Homer's birth in the 8th century BC. Moreover it is laughable to assert the names are real. The only things that are seemingly real is the city of Troy and the Grecian peoples. Athena did not dip Achilles in the Styx, Thetis his mother did. Additionally, I don't know what version you read, but Achilles had a Briseis as a mistress who was taken from him by..... Agamemnon which ticked Achilles off.... Patroclus and Achilles were not portrayed as lovers in Homer's epic, only in later poems and writings by other Greeks and there is no historicity of Achilles nor Patroclus. Lastly the Iliad ends with the funeral of Hector after he was eliminated from life by..... you guessed it Achilles. You are mixing up your words. You don't mean "the most prominent characters are brushed over" you mean "most of the prominent characters are brushed over" because if you meant the former you are truly clueless. You know absolutely NOTHING about the Iliad or Homer. It is shocking that you are lecturing so strongly with that being the case. Then again they say the loudest and most adamant are the most lacking in knowledge. Next time save yourself the embarrassment and don't preach what you don't know.

[@deedeeschway9566]

I find it neat how this reflects how Achilles moves in the beginning of the fight when he tests Hector and just jogs away after. I really see a lion just testing his prey head on but distancing himself for another, more calculated strike. The fight is very well done but Achilles is not struggling at all. He’s very much the predator in this fight.

[@shykorustotora]

I'm glad they didn't portray the fight like in the Illiad, with Hector running away, crying and screaming and only fighting because he gets cornered. Also would've sucked to see Achilles only win because the Gods rigged the fight and helped him win

[@magicmike7198]

That's what I loved about this sequence: the inevitability. Hector fought proudly and with honor. Given that we're in Hollywood, you'd think that maybe, just maybe... But no. It's Achilles. You can't win. It was over before it even began. On a simple narrative level, this sequence had been prepared from the beginning of the film when Achilles killed the juggernaut in a single blow.

[@laquanthedon1]

The way he was kind of stalking him throughout the fight was like watching a lion or wolf hunt and was such an interesting way of showing from the being how this was going to go from his line "there are no pacts betweenlions and men". The saddest part is how this was all entirely his brothers fault and the way he knew he was going to die and Troy was going to fall

[@jonathanbradley4896]

This movie had flaws, but the casting (for the most part, i wasn't crazy on Pitt and Bloom but I guess handsome men sell tickets), music, and certain scenes like these ones are incredible. The movie suffered from being too long (they took "epic" too literally) with bad pacing at times, and I think Pitt deserves criticism for a very wooden performance at times, although that may have been the directors intent, to make Achilles not seem entirely human. Also some of the writing is ridiculously corny.

[@hulkslayer626]

Favorite part of that fight is when Achilles removes his helmet, Hector does as well. And when Hector drops his shield, Achilles leaves his behind. The both fight honorably one on one and don't want to win because they had an advantage over the other.

[@dude8273]

[@UKSponge360]

same as when Hector trips over the stone, Achilles back off and waits for him to get back to his feet

[@CarBENbased]

Both are a factor, honorable fighting and lack of respect. But the REAL reason I think is shown in the line "I'll not have a stone take my glory." Achilles wants to be remembered for his greatness, and he wants no excuses in the story when it's told like "well you only beat him because he tripped on a rock and dropped his shield and you still had yours.".

[@shykorustotora]

This also contrasts with King Menelaus saying in regards to Paris "I'll kill him at your feet, I don't care!" showing Menelaus (and by extension Agamemnon) and Achilles couldn't be more different in the manner of which they fight

[@ThanxNo]

Achilles doesn’t die until slightly prior to the siege of Troy after a duel with the warrior Memnon when Paris takes a cheap shot into his heel

[@Superion74]

I remember reading somewhere (I think it's The Iliad) that it was Apollo who guided Paris' arrow to the heel of Achilles because Achilles had desecrated his temple when they invaded Troy.

[@misterlonely2003]

[@CarBENbased]

I love the choreography in this scene. While it might not be entirely realistic, the liberties they took show just how incredible these legendary figures are supposed to be. They are equally matched in the beginning, or at least nearly so, in training and skill if not in raw power. Hector actually has a chance early on in the fight, but as it drags on Achilles true strength shows in that he just doesn't get tired. As Hector starts to slow and stumble Achilles has barely slowed at all, he's not even really winded at the end of it.

I remember when this movie was still in production, and it was announced that Brad Pitt would be taking the role of the iconic Achilles. Most people were skeptical and even mad. How could Brad Pitt take such a role? He wasn't big enough to pull off a convincing Achilles. Holy crap, did he silence the critics when this movie came out. Not only did he pull off the role, now its impossible to imagine anyone else playing the part.

[@mtverv]

The Iliad also goes to great pains to keep letting the reader know how good of a warrior Hector actually was in that it says if Achilles wasn’t a Demi-god than Hector would have beaten him but that that a fully human man could never best a god in combat. Great scene here. I kind of wish they would have shown more than just a cut on Achilles armor though. Have him take an actual blow before shifting up a gear to finish the fight.

Achilles was (almost) impossible to kill : 1) he was a son of son of the Nereid Thetis and Peleus, king of Phthia and famous Argonaut, so much better than a ordinary human 2) the most important, his mother bathed him in The River of Death - Styx making him impervious, impenetrable to weapons so nobody could hurt him. However, the mother bathed him keeping his heel - that was his only body part that was like a regular human warrior's. Hence "Achille's Heel" meaning the weakness. The brother of killed here Hector, Paris, avenged him - he shot Achilles in the heel with an arrow and killed him. I have corrected my post after a couple of very helpful remarks from the viewers.
