The biggest villain in the whole film was Paris. Always the coward, first brought Helen to Troy so thousands could die trying to save him, then challenged someone whom he could never beat and fell on his brother's feet to save him and finally killed Achilles who actually saved his cousin. Dude even got a happy ending with Helen🤦‍♂

[@bankai786]

True. All men were brave except that treacherous greek and Cowardly Paris. I wish Hector and Achilles become friend in their afterlife. After learning about Paris, now i hate love stories and Paris city 🤣. That f*cking coward should've got his ch*pped off in the first scene. So all of this war would be avoided.

Yet they made a bit of a mess with the battles, like standing IN FRONT of walls. The whole point of walls is you stand behind them, standing in front was just stupid. Also most battles shown where a mass collide and mix is not what happened. Simply because you wouldn't be able to tell whos who. Instead they would have kept to their sides and gone in line by line slowly.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I remember seeing a video of someone with combat/historical experience do a breakdown of the battle but said it wasn't that good. Which is hard for me to agree with. Cuz It does look great, and as someone who has done various martial arts training, the movements are as real as they can be for a movie.

[@jovanjorgovan23]

@@JohnSmith-wl8ts If you're going to criticise the battle tactic be sure you know what you're talking about yourself. There is no neat formation combat in Greece for some 300 years post writing of the Iliad and 800+ years since the events supposedly took place.

[@jovanjorgovan23]

@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 A real military historian would know that there's no accuracy when it comes to the Trojan war - the descriptions of supposedly Bronze Age events we have only from 7th century poems describing 7th century practices. The film does a lot Hollywood stuff and many are necessary in the film, but overall they painted a rather ok picture of ancient warfare - duels, raids, battles in spontaneously organised groups, armies consisting of nobles and their retinues coming together, no particular chain of command beyond the noble, chariots being taxies to and from battle...Trojans are anachronistically organised in a Hellenistic Greek fashion some 300-350 years younger than the poem, and there are fantasy details here and there. But in general it is far better representation of concepts of warfare than anywhere else in the film, or even documentary (heavily influenced by a now obsolete image of unusually well organised battle lines of Greeks even in Archaic era ).

Brad Pitt as Achilles, Erica Bana as Hector, Orlando Bloom's performance as Paris is 🔥. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

[@greysea4841]

In Trojan culture horses were held in very high esteem. The Greeks knew this. And it was another reason why Priam did not want to see it burned. And in the final dialog from Odysseus we a hear him refer to Hector as "Tamer of horses"

[@danielpeachey3781]

Also horses are sacred to the god Poseidon

[@lewstone2]

Ok, I hear you, but it wasn't horse.

[@PrideSP]

"The last time you spoke to me like this was when you were 10 and you just stolen father's horse." I get it now!

[@SouryaDP]

Yeah, the Trojans revered the Gods, and thought that burning an offering that was intended for Poseidon would incur the wrath of Poseidon. In fact, when the seer Laocoon predicts that the Horse is not an offering but a trap, he gets bitten by a snake. While this was a ploy by Athena (in some renditions) to silence any dissent against her ruse of the Trojan Horse, this was ironically interpreted by the Trojans as punishment by Poseidon for the blasphemy against his offering. Thus, the own interpretations of divine interventions by the Trojans was played into by the Greeks to perfect effect.

[@Rfcfan1996]

"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" stems from this very story.

he IS utterly egotistical, but is also wise & unlike those we despise with the quality, all to common today, HE REALLY IS AWESOME.

Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

The word hectoring comes from this moment when Achilles was yelling Hector's name, taunting him to come and fight

[@ianjardine7324]

Achilles is more understandable as a character when you knowthe full story. He was cheated of godhood and immortality because Zeus feared his potential. Zeus tricked his mother a demigod into falling in love with a mortal so that Achilles could never rise and challenge his power. Unlike everyone else Achilles understood the gods and hated them and the twisted games they played with the lives of mortals so he set out to create a legacy with what little time he had to overshadow even Zeus. He accepted his death because he aways knew how his story would end.

[@TBoring]

The ultimate tragedy with the battle between Hector and Achilles, is they’re both good men. In most movies when we build up a fight, there’s someone we’re rooting for and someone we’re rooting, but here we don’t want either of them to lose, and while Achilles does act barbarically after the fight it’s understandable because everyone has had their anger get the better of them. We see that Achilles even regrets his anger as cries over Hector. Now some irony that was left out of the movie, while Paris is the one that ultimately struck down Achilles, Paris was struck down when he got hit with a poisoned arrow. In the story the rush Paris to his ex-girlfriend, Oenone, a nymph that Paris had left when he was given Helen by Aphrodite. They took him to Oenone because she had extensive knowledge of poisons and how to heal them, but she was so heartbroken over Paris abandoning her she let him die from the poison.

So here's a fun fact and a not so widely known bit of history, when Paris gave the sword of Troy to Aeneas, who lead the surviours out into the land of what is modern day Turkey, he actually departed on a pilgrimage to find a place where they could be safe and ultimately rebuild, and the place he found was Italy, and once there the people of Troy resided in a city in Italy in which Aeneas' great desendent Romulus eventually ruled, a city which spanned a great empire, ...and that city was Rome.

[@havok6280]

Yes, as per Greek Mythology, the boy Aeneas was the son of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, who, along with Apollo and Poseidon, saved him multiple times in battle from the sword of both Diomedes and Achilles. When the Gods learned of the plot of the Trojan Horse, Aphrodite warned him specifically of the plot, and Aeneas and his followers left Troy to found a new city state to build their lives. The place they finally ended up was in Rome (Lavinium).

[@Jimbobwalton-iq1ij]

As the son of Peleus, a human father, and a divine mother, the sea goddess Thetis, Achilles was mortal. However, Thetis tried to make him at least invulnerable and immersed him in the river Styx, which separates the underworld from the upper world. However, the spot on Achilles' heel where she held his hand remained unmarred by the river's water and thus became the only vulnerable spot. In the best-known versions of Achilles' death, he was struck in the vulnerable Achilles' heel by Apollo himself or by a perhaps poisoned arrow from Paris, which was directed by Apollo. Thus the Achilles' heel from mythology became the namesake of the human Achilles tendon. It's a pity that the gods don't play an important role in the movie, because they are, but that would be too much for a movie. Greetings from Germany

I know people might not like Paris for killing Achilles, but the thing is, from his point of view, Achilles mercilessly killed Hector and dragged the body behind his chariot. Here Achilles was, in a beautiful target position, and Paris avenged his brother. That’s the thing about this story, each of the main characters has a motivation which we stand behind (except Agamemnon, who was downright greedy and power hungry, but it was true to the source material, where he was just as bad as well). You can take anyone’s side in this story, and still feel satisfied about it….

Exactly, I don’t even like Paris but I would never hate him for killing Achilles, from his pov all he is as killer and a monster, capable of no feelings no love, no mercy.

In my opinion, Paris was a fool whose actions caused just about everything to follow.

And the boy would have a pair of grandkids, who ended up feral children, one of which was named Romulus- the mythical Founder of Rome and its people. Both the boy Paris entrusted with the sword of Troy and the woman he spurned were gone. But their successors fought a bloody war that destroyed Carthage, the heirs of Troy would go on to visit the horrors their forefathers endured on countless civilizations until German barbarians put an end to it much the same way. Because Legend is Cyclical and so is History.

[@bewilderedbeest]

To be fair to Helen, she had no choice, because Aphrodite cast a love spell over her, making her fall in love with Paris against her will. This movie took a lot of artistic license with the original source material. Helen and Menelaus were actually happily married. Helen inherited the throne of Sparta from her stepfather King Tyndareus and Menelaus became King of Sparta through marriage to Helen. If Helen hadn't been enchanted by Aphrodite she would not have run off with the very vain, shallow, cowardly Paris, who died during the war, while Menelaus took Helen home to Troy, and forgave her for running off with Paris..

This movie depicted Menelaus and Agamemnon as villains, but in the myths, the brothers are usually presented as heroes. Agamemnon didn't force the Greek kings to come to Troy. They came because they had all sworn an oath to Tyndareus that if Helen was ever kidnapped, they would all come together to rescue her.

She asked cupid t fake love between Paris and Helen during the initial days of that Multi day meeting that we see in the movie. That's how they felt True Love when it was just Fabricated......

-It's said it was actually apollo (she always looked upon troy) that guided paris's arrow through his heel due to some disagreement or competition between the gods because some sided with greeks and some with trojans. -Also Patroclus was never Achilles's cousin, he was what they said his "close companion" (take that as you will) since forever and played quite a big part in the war itself. -Additionally I believe Agaememnon was killed by his wife and her new lover once he returned back as the trojan war lasted about 10-12 years. In the way of getting to Troy they faced difficulties with the winds not be appropriate enough to sail so he sacrificed his own daughter as an offering to the gods -In the mythology Troy is not completely destroyed by Achilles so I think Oddyseus brings in Neoptolemus or Pyrrhus (Achille's son) and it is he who kills many of Trojan royals and finally completely takes down Troy I think this is so tragic because both Hector and Achilles were good people, Achilles specifically was raised to fulfill this prophecy of being the greatest warrior. Thats all he'd ever known so ofcourse when the time came thats all he chose, and I believe his anger was the biggest issue hence 'The Illiad' BUT he did show small acts of mercy throughout.

to put things in perspective, the physics behind Achilles's performance with his shield wouldn't be written and understood until several hundred years later. rotation of bodies, leverage, balance, momentum, etc, all physical principles that lead to advanced ballistics and siege weaponry... Achilles here was so skilled and dedicated to training, he unlocked the next research tree.
