The Trojan War started with a seemingly absurd reason, but like other wars in history, it had hidden ambitions and lost its heroes.
For Agamemnon, this may be his journey of conquest. But for Achilles, this war allowed him to get salvation.
The son of the Chosen, Achilles blessed by the gods is a Greek mythology of undefeated, and even the spiritual leader of Greek soldiers, as if Achilles is at his fingertips in victory.
Achilles, who was worshiped by the world, did not fear the king or the gods, making the enemy fearful and the king jealous. Although he is a Greek, he has his own persistence. In his opinion, the stupid king is not worthy of him. In the movie, Achilles fought four times, but never fought for Agamemnon.
The first time he went to war, rather than saving the lives of soldiers, I would rather believe that he was for the praise of the world. He is like an invincible god, watching the life passing by under his men coldly. I thought he was more willing to hear praise than forgiveness.
For the second expedition to Troy, Achilles was persuaded by Odysseus. This time he stayed in history and fought for immortality. When his mother put the choice before him, I think he has made the choice. He is like this, glory is higher than life. This is true for others, and it is true for yourself.
Achilles never feared God. Even Apollo, who knows the world, can decisively cut off the head of the god with a sword. This is a man who has stepped on all the gods. He is a born fighter. Killing decisively, fearless and fearless.
Then he met Parisis, who devoutly worshipped the gods of Olympus. Their encounter was as if a blood-stained sword was suddenly wrapped in a handful of warm water. I saw his warm side. He even gave up the glory handed down, ready to set sail back. From their conversation, I suddenly understood that Achilles was not without faith. He does not fear God, but he fears people. Because people are mortal. And this even makes God envy.
But the death of his cousin once again inspired his bloodliness, and he became a god on the battlefield again. This time he fought for hatred. Like every elder brother who avenged his younger brother, he was wrapped in anger and irritability, fighting for his relatives.
The success of revenge did not ease him. With Hector's death, it is difficult for him to face Pariseis again. The visit of the old king made it difficult for him to face his conscience.
The sharp questioning made Achilles difficult to resist. He fought for honor before, and there were countless souls under the sword. Now he himself had tasted the loss of his loved ones, and suddenly he was at a loss as to what to do. So when faced with Hector's broken and messy body, he couldn't help sobbing. His conscience is beginning to warm up, and he may also feel that the reasons for fighting in the past are very pale.
So he entered the war for the fourth time. This time he fought for himself, fought for love. Achilles is obviously much wiser than Paris causing a war between the two countries for love. He dismissed his subordinates and broke into the flames alone, looking for his lover. He didn't come for killing, so when the enemy under the sword said he was a father, he chose kindness. At this time, he has stepped down from the altar, just a mortal. Even longing for a stable life.
But Achilles is destined to be a tragic hero. Paris shot through his ankle, as if the blood burst away instantly.
This time he couldn't stand up again, but his eyes were relieved.
He can no longer dance the sword, but I think he is content at this moment. Because this moment is fleeting, it is precious. Because people are mortal, they can experience beauty. I think he fought for a lifetime, and finally found a real reason to fight for it in the end.
