Troy tells the story of the legendary Trojan War and of Achilles, the famous warrior who was son of the God’s. The Trojan War was initiated when Paris of Troy stole Helen, Queen of Sparta, from the King. This film portrays real emotion in such a way that I couldn’t back away from it; the warfare is gruesome but the way they loved… it was just beautiful.
The King of Sparta just wants his wife back but his brother wants to take over Troy. They join together but the Trojan’s aren’t scared of them. The Trojan’s are willing to fight for their Troy, their people, their wives and children. Things get out of hand because all the main figures in this war let their emotions get in the way of their thinking. Even Achilles, who seems to not care for anyone but himself, loses sight of what he’s doing and is overcome with mourning. And the king of Troy lets the love of his son’s blind him and leads his beloved Troy into war.
To me, this movie and story show how easily things could be avoided. All these actions lead to nowhere good, just to a downfall of a lot of great people and rise of more warfare. If everyone just sat down and talked about things reasonably everything could have been resolved without bloodshed. But when does anyone take that angle? And if they would have, there wouldn’t be such a great film, haha.
