Action History War

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.

Similarly, the pacing and action sequences, despite the fact that well-executed, missed a certain "kick" that could have amplified the film's appeal to action enthusiasts. Critics have pointed out that Achilles' role development feels somewhat lacking, but given the packed storyline, there simply wasn't enough time to explore every nuance. The scene between Hector and Paris, where Hector dismantles romanticized notions of war and love, stands out as one of the most powerful and enduring dialogues in cinematic history.

Don't get me wrong, Agamemnon could be viewed as the villain in this picture, and I wasn't rooting for Menelaus when he fights Paris (Orlando Bloom, who seduces Helen, Menelaus' wife), yet neither the Greeks nor the Trojans are painted as the 'worthwhile guys' or 'uninspired guys.' They're just people at war, and in war there's no real glory, as Hector points out... Besides, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
