Think like Achilles

The movie channel played "Troy" and couldn't help but watch it again. During the period, I was interrupted by advertisements several times, but I endured watching it. After reading it a little more, I fell asleep contentedly. There is no reason to be dissatisfied. The hero will live forever, the wicked will be punished, and the young people still have a way out. Two hours to tell the story that I never understood when I was a child, vulgarity is vulgar, and I didn’t see a god, but fortunately, a little bit of courtesy and happiness permeates it. Isn’t that enough?

Agamemnon is domineering but not king. The King of Troy prefers young children. Hector is cautious and no longer believes in God. Everyone else is naive and weak. Only Achilles, a perfect man, invincible in the world, loves freedom and thinking. : He already knew that only a death that was great enough would make his name go down in history; he also knew that God would envy people, because people have life, death comes at every moment, alive or die, this is a happy thing. He said to the priestess on his deathbed, I have been fighting for a lifetime, and you have given me peace.

By the way, I remember that there is a brand of condoms called Troy (Trojan Horse). This metaphor is really mocking!

    Hector: If I die I don't know how much longer Troy will stand.
