Missing some of the point of the movie.

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2005)

Putting aside the acting which I personally couldn't think of anyone doing a bad job. Peter O'Toole as King Priam was amazing and definitely god some of the best lines. Esp the scene when Priam went to see Achilles is heartbreaking on some part and ... well see it to understand the impact from the lines/words in the movies.
Enjoy the entertainment that it is for, but not do not forget to see the many factors involved.
I have watch the movie many times, and every time there is more that I didn't realize from the time before.
Anyhow, personally suggest that keep an open mind and look beyond the beautiful actors, the beautiful scenery, the silly romance between the characters, one esp that leads to this war. Just as it was said in the movie "Two worlds will go to war for honor and power. Thousands will fall in pursuit of glory. And for love, a nation will burn to the ground." and the questionable existence of the ancient God's and Goddess but look at the heart breaking scene of men killing men, and then the end of men just killing every Trojan in sight. Greeks killing womyn, children (which somehow very few were shown in this movie but imagine that there too were being killed without mercy). All those for greed of power. E.g. Hector: You want me to look on your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.
