Paris is the REAL villain of the movie.

[@babushka9998]

tbh if it wasn't Paris, soon or later they would have attacked troy anyways. Paris was actually a perfect "reason" to finally attack. also if wasn't the greeks. some other nations would have attacked anyways.

to me the real villains are definitely the king brothers of the greeks

[@henriquecesardesouzasilva8766]

​@@babushka9998 You said a lot of "what if's" that don't really matter. Paris (and perhaps the gods) is the one responsible for the war in both the movie and the Iliad, there is no point in trying to say otherwise.

There is so much more for the attack on Troy and it’s not JUST Paris. there is definitely more back story to it! and yeah maybe the movie made seems like paris fault. for example in the history books it says helenas fault, cause of her beauty, a war began. so there is no point to trying to say otherwise

[@nickdouglas736]

@@babushka9998 you understand that this is story is a myth and there's no historial evidence on this war. There a dozens of versions of this story written over several centuries and Historians aren't even sure Troy actually existed the way it's described by Homer. It's still an ongoing debate whether it's pure fiction or has at least a historical core in Homers version of the trojan wars it is indeed Helenas kidnapping that starts the war which leads to a ten year siege on troy and finally to the legendary trojan horse.

- Initially, we wanted to make a fantasy film with Greek gods, but in the end we got a mythological epic - Brad and Eric had a Gentleman's agreement that for each serious blow they paid each other money, who paid how much to whom remains unknown + Brad was not physically ready for this role, but thanks to a personal trainer and a year of training, we saw the result of - This that rare case where Sean Bean doesn't die - Troy at that time it was hard to compete with Gladiator and the Last Samurai in terms of box office receipts

Achilles was such a badass that the opening lines of the epic Illiad is about him Sing oh goddess of the wrath of Peleus' son, Achilles, that destructive wrath which brought countless woes upon the Achaeans, and that sent forth to Hades many valiant souls of heroes, and made them themselves spoil for dogs and every bird.

[@parsman9914]

"Peak Orlando Bloomness" 😂

[@thatonkgau5221]

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.

[@Achara]

Well damn. The gods are ALWAYS meddling in the affairs of humans. I guess it works better for the love story here to have Menelaus be awful so the audience will root for Paris.

[@seniorordenanza2387]

[@GuillermoCambro-cq3gl]

It's sad though that he basically became a jobber to Hector

[@nataliestclair6176]

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.

[@GuillermoCambro-cq3gl]

Yeah, and then she gave Agamemnon a bath. 😅 Soooooooooooooooooooooooo . . .

[@moonrock115]

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?

Its like reactors want stories told in the past to fit their worldview now in order to make them feel better. Just emerse yourself in the story without it being a condemnation of everything thats told from a point of view that doesn't fit in your stances when it comes to corrected behaviors.

[@thatonkgau5221]

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.

[@alcibiadesW]

The heel story is a rather late addition, first known from the 1st Century AD. It isn't part of the Iliad.

[@joshc.8489]

And making Brad Pitt disguised as a woman will make it look more heroic? Sure lol.

[@nataliestclair6176]

Both those stories were not in the original Illiad. They were never in the Iliad. Those stories were written by the Roman poet Statius around 90 AD. According to what archeologists can deduce the Iliad was first told around 1250 bc and the oldest written account of it ever found was dated to around 800 bc. The stories about Achilles being dipped in the river Styx and hiding as a girl were written by Statius in his poem about Achilles titled Achilleid.

"Paris, no one asked you" 😂 So real

His mother forgot to mention Led Zeppelin would write a song called "Achilles last stand". All the Zeppelin fans know it!! 😎🇺🇸

[@thomaslarsson9194]

Troy is such a good movie! Great music too☺️

[@bulletproof844]

Orlando Bloom's character was a REAL drama queen in this movie!🤣

[@nataliestclair6176]

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.

[@lakindugunasekara9814]

This was peak cinema.

​@@Acharaare you actually Achara 🤔

[@arlaalfrost8445]

Thank you for watching the theatrical cut!! Music lines up sooooo much better 🎉

[@r.d.b4349]

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

[@Christian-el2bz]

Please don't do these epic movies in 2 parts... It really kills the interest because the flow of (especially such a great movie) dies completely :(

[@freemansteinslab]

If you havent seen it already, I would really recommend checking out Strange Days from 1995 which will be turning 30 next year and is a forgotten masterpiece from Katherine Bigelow and James Cameron, starring Ralph Fiennes, Angela Basset and Juliet Lewis. Its is an incredible movie, but there just aren't that many reactions out there for it so far.

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

[@justingary5322]

She really said Peak Orlando Bloom 🔥 😂

[@justingary5322]

I really enjoyed Troy as a kid and loved Achilles and Briseis relationship with the Stockholm syndrome captor and prisoner romance dynamic. Brad Pitt as Achilles, Erica Bana as Hector, Orlando Bloom's performance as Paris is 🔥.

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.

[@Tyler-mm9cj]

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

[@Heartless2000]

In the end daryl dixon took Helen of Troy home 😂😂 wat a win 😂😂

[@popeye697]

Ironically, Brad actually injured his Achilles tendon while filming Troy. That actually happened

[@brucewilliams4152]

Helen was actually a Spartan princess..she had a twin sister who was married to.Agamemnon. (Clytenestra).

[@williambranch4283]

Of the twelve Olympian deities: Apollo and Aphrodite supported Troy, Athena and Poseidon supported the Greeks. Ares simply enjoys the war. Zeus plots the course of history. Hades welcomes the dead.

[@Gamerloaders]

Hector was the perfect son, brother, husband, father, warrior, defender and leader. What a tragic fate, Gods ways are truly mysterious!

[@Vulcanerd]

Steph has the best "AAAAHHHHHHHH~~~"s 😄

[@alexanderstamov2237]

Homer is no longer taught in schools? At 35 I must be old...

[@markosmatrozos4175]

I don't know about American schools, but it definitely is in Greece

[@ArthurKnight1899]

"i like Achilles but I'm not on his side" well, that's PS for Iliad

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Love this movie with a burning passion, so many great acting scenes

[@Chetanp1445]

Paris’ character is by far the most annoying in the movie

[@Hector-yh6tb]

Hector is my favorite character of all time .
