Overview
In year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age, two emerging nations begin to clash. Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnon to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. They set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy.
























































I empathize with Hector again and get annoyed with Paris, admire Achilles' dexterity, watch what is happening with fascination, etc. I even remember some of the lines)
I am glad after so many years to consciously come to the conclusion that it was and is a good movie)
Colorful, beautiful, not as unrealistic as possible for those times especially.
One-on-one fighting just for the sake of fighting, and that's how great wars were fought? Don't make me laugh! I couldn't enjoy this movie because of such stupid character moves.
And the main culprits left so calmly and everything is OK. 🤣😐
But in general, it's a great movie, it caused a lot of nostalgia for the days when I first saw it in the cinema as a teenager. 😌
If we take the original source, then the film "Helen of Troy" (2003) is closer to it in terms of content.
Patroclus: Ready.
Achilles: I see them at night. Everyone he killed. They're standing on the far side of the Styx. They tell me, "We're waiting for you, brother." We are unhappy creatures. I've taught you how to hold a sword, but I haven't explained why or who it's supposed to hit.
Patroclus: Your enemies?
Achilles: And after I'm gone? Soldiers are fighting for kings they have never seen. They go to their deaths when they are told to die.
Patroclus: They're following orders.
Achilles: It's not worth giving your life for a stupid king."
