Mannelouse in the original mythology wasn't evil or abusive or unfaithful. He genuinely loved Helen and she actually loved him. Helen only left him for Paris because the goddess of love Aphrodite made her fall in love with. Paris. Aphrodite, Athena and Hera were in a contest to see who was the most beautiful. They asked Paris to decide and offered him different things. Aphrodite offered to make Helen love him and he chose her. When Helen ran away with Paris she didn't even leave a letter or anything to explain. So Mannelouse launched the war to rescue her believing she was kidnapped and he did get her back.

I would not refer to Ajax the Greater as a jobber. He was the Greeks best fighter only behind Achilles. He fought Hector twice. The first time they fought all day until Zues intervened and put an end to the fighting and Hector amd Ajax exchanged gifts out of mutual respect. The 2nd time they fought was when the Torjan Army tries to burnthe Greek ships. Ajax, weilding his mighty spear, basically single handedly holds off the Trojan army. He and Hector fight again and aided by Zues, Hector disarms Ajax but does not wound him. Seeing the Zues favors Hector in the fight, Ajax withdraws. Thanks to Ajax, the Trojans succeed in buring only one Greek ship When Patroclus is killed by Hector, it is Ajax that rescues Patroclus body from Hector who is trying to claim it. Hector does not kill Ajax in the Illiad. Ajax kills himself. After Achilles is slain, a competition is held who should get his armor. It comes down to Ajax amd Odysseus. Ajax argues since he rescued Achilles body and do to his Great skill and strength he should get the armor. Odysseus argues he should get it and Odysseus being the more eloquent speaking is awarded the armor. Ajax is so distraught and "conquered by his own grief", that he kills himself.

Big thing to remember when it comes to the mindset of the Ancient Greek heroes, is that everything they say and do is done with the idea of personal glory. What can I do to further increase my renown? my reputation? what would doing this for someone else affect my own glory? The Ancient Greek heroes in the old plays were quite egotistical and self absorbed. Even those like Odysseus are consumed by this yearning for legacy and status. Comparatively the heroes of the Ancient Romans are the complete reverse of this mindset: instead of personal glory it is glory for Rome. What can I do to better Rome? What can I do go make Rome known across the land? What can I do to increase the prosperity of Romes people?

In the actual mythology Achilles was the son of the king Palonius and the demigoddess Thetus daughter of posiedon. Thetus bathed Achilles in the mystical river of stix which leads to the underworld. Bathing in the water made Achilles invincible all over his body except for the heal as that's where his mother held him. Thetus predicted Achilles death in the war and told him to hide. So he disguised himself as a woman and hid in a kings court. It worked until Odysseus found him and revealed his secret. Achilles only refused to stop fighting because Agammendon had the woman he loved. The movie made Achilles a lot less heroic.

I've watched like 10 of these reactions to "Troy". This is the one I like best. You listen to the dialog, not talking over it, and give pretty smart comments & reactions. Insight, humor, but also some compassion. Most reactors miss a lot of the points the movie raises. I saw this movie when it was released in theaters 20 years ago. I'd read the myths decades before as a kid. The makes me think of what could've happened that inspired the supernatural story. But no gods here, no super powers. The embellishments I see are the exaggeration of Troy's walls, and how advanced the city is shown to be. They borrowed from other civilizations from that time period. I could see people thinking Achilles was so good at fighting that he couldn't be killed, like that boy said in the beginning of the movie. I could soldiers finding Achilles at the end of the movie, with that arrow in his ankle, and figure that must've been the one spot he was vulnerable...

After this movie was released, people who saw it started asking if this was based on a real historical event. The answer is, nobody knows. Homer, a Greek poet, wrote an epic called The Illiad (8th century BCE) which is the story from which this movie is based. A city (Hisarlık) was found on the coast of Turkey on the other side of the Agean Sea from Greece which is of the right estimated age. However, academics disagree if this could be the ruins of Troy. At any rate, Homer's Illiad is quite different from the movie in that in the Illiad, several Greek Gods were involved and meddling in the war, helping both sides by manipulating the actions of the heros like Achilles and giving them weapons made by the gods. Which conflicts with the movie where Hector says "the Gods won't fight the war for us..." yet in the Illiad, the Gods ARE involved directly. Obviously that part at least, was made up (Unless you believe in those gods...). So given that Homer was a poet, not a historian and that gods were written into the story, I think it all was probably a fanciful fiction. What is your view?

Compared to other historical period movies like Alexander and Kingdom of Heaven, Troy is actually entertaining.

Hector was truly a great leader, yet his shortcomings would be his own family, his brother with his love for Helen and his fathers faith traditions

Hey Cinepals, why did you delete your Conan the Barbarian video?

Oh yes Priam was a romantic. In the Illiad he had 50 sons, several wives and many concubines lol. Don't know how he found time to rule his kingdom.

Why somebody didn't give Orlando a blonde wig and a bow I'll never know. He could have ended the war in like 24 minutes.

Achilles did answer for cutting off apollos head. An arrow threw his achilles. Never mess with the gods in greek mythology. They are VERY petty

I will always side with Hector. He wasn’t best warrior, but he was the bravest, just and honest man.

Actually they DID do CGI crowds, there were like 200 or so people who were duplicated in post-production

The only bad part of this movie is the omission of the gods direct involvement in the ensuing events.

Thank you for watching the original version and not the director's cut.

The horse was most likely a ship with a horse head, they were more sailors than horse riders. Ships were the horses of the seas.

This is such a good film, truly great actors to tell a true epic (though a little different to the "book"), one of my favourite films. Was doing Mythology at school around the time it came out, was so happy when they announced it! Part 2 will have one of my favourite choreographed 1v1 fights in all of cinema, can't wait :) P.S. Don't forget about Peter O'Toole as King Priam in your description, he was legendary too. Also Brendan Gleeson as Menelaus & of course Sean Bean as Odysseus, another very important character in Homer's stories.

Glad you watched the theatrical cut, with this particular movie I've always preferred it to the director's cut.

9:20 "rare comedies, I think". The word "comedy" is Greek. The Greeks literally invented both Tragedy and Comedy. As a literary genre, that is.
