Love, hate, theism and human nature

At the end of the film, I am conflicted when Paris shoots Achilles to death. I should be happy, sorry, sad... I don’t know... the end of this life is not just my favorite male protagonist falling down, because this arrow implies Too much love, hatred, and hatred, but there are more to dissolve... The movie "Troy" modified from Homer’s immortal epic "Iliad" is not only the pleasure of visual impact brought by the handsome appearance of the hero and heroine, it brings humanity The expression of love, hatred and hatred is vivid and vivid.
The previously romantic little prince Paris, Troy, has devoted a loyal and eternal love to the enemy queen Helen, who is already a wife, and even started a war for her and abandoned his life. The beautiful Helen is also a fierce woman who dares to love and does not fear power. Her passage: "I am not afraid of death. I am only afraid of tomorrow. I am afraid that you will sail away and never come back." The love is deep and moving. The same is true for Achilles. He is my favorite character in the film. He does not fight for any country in Greece, only for honor. He also participated in the war against Troy for the sake of eternal fame. Until the advent of love. His love for the Trojan priestess Briseys was also unstoppable. When Troy fell, Achilles no longer pursued the eternal reputation of fame, but searched for the young Briseys in the flames of war, until the end was for love. Death, what is this? I firmly believe that this is the purest love of mankind. Blisseis was not only attracted by Achilles' strong body, but also moved by Achilles' great personality charm. She gave up her admiration for the gods, and even lingered with Achilles when she was about to die, which made people moved. When true love comes, but it is facing life and death, this is something that normal life cannot appreciate. I think there is nothing more cruel than this in the world. Love really has great power...
The eldest son Hector’s love for his younger brother Paris ignored his younger brother’s loveliness. In such a society where men are inferior to women, he showed his love for his younger brother; and when his younger brother Paris failed to fight with the enemy Spartan King Menelaus. Later, Paris faced the fear of death and hugged his brother's leg, showing a look of eagerness for help. Hector gave up the rules that must be followed in a duel between men, and only said "he's my brother". This is one of the two lines that impressed me the most in the film. He did not hesitate to drew out his sword and stabbed at Nelausbo's chest. This is the embodiment of brotherhood. Achilles taught his cousin combat skills hand-in-hand and combined the truth with him, reflecting the love of the brothers; when his cousin was killed by Hector by mistake, Achilles became angry, wearing a helmet and armor, killing Hector, and avenging his brother. At this point in the film, because of love, hatred has also been further intensified.
King Troy’s understanding of the serious mistake made by his second son, Paris, is nothing more than a manifestation of his great paternal love for his son; he sneaked to the enemy’s state camp in the middle of the night after the eldest son Hector was killed, gave up the king’s dignity, and kissed the enemy who killed his son. With both hands, in order to return the corpse of the eldest son Hector, put two coins in his eyes to save him. It is the father's love. Hector has an infinite love for his son who is still waiting to be fed. When he is sure that he is bound to die, he points out his wife in advance and asks him to raise his son, which reflects his love for his son. This kind of father-son love is not only reflected in the upper class, but also in ordinary soldiers. A very small shot-after the fall of Troy, the ordinary soldier released by Achilles said, "I still have a son, let me go. "Hey", this is another line that impressed me the most. Just imagine if he had no children, a sturdy soldier would never beg the enemy to give him a living. Perhaps because of his father's love, he gave up his dignity. This kind of all is a manifestation of the father's love for the child.
Hatred also runs through the entire film.
When his wife was taken away by others, even though Helen was willing... King Menelaus of Sparta was angry and decided to swallow the enemy Troy. Although this kind of offense has little to do with a woman, It was the hatred of the one who robbed love that inspired the outbreak of the war. The hatred of the one who robs the lover even more reflects the hegemony and dominance of the man over the woman. The taking away of a man's woman by another man is a great insult to one's dignity. This seems to be an immortal theorem since ancient times...
The hatred of the people of the invaded country towards the aggressor is inevitable, and this hatred is the inevitability of war. People don’t want war. Any weak and unambitious king wants his people to live and work in peace and contentment. Although Troy is not a small country, so is its king. However, when this kind of hatred accumulates to a certain extent, an irresistible force will erupt. , There is the possibility of "overcoming the strong with the weak". This is probably the case when the enemy country is defeated in the second battle between Troy and the enemy country, although the enemy country's strategy has made mistakes. And when Troy was about to fall, the King of Troy led the remaining small group of soldiers still fighting the enemy, which is also a manifestation of hatred.
The consequences of blasphemous hatred must be serious. Achilles revenge for his cousin is the hatred of the man who killed his brother. The consequence is the death of Hector. Of course, Achilles and Hector are both unfallen heroes in my mind. And after the fall of Troy, Paris fired arrows at Achilles despite his cousin Bliseis’s obstruction. This was also hatred for the brothers who killed him, and even for the little prince Paris, he always killed himself. Great hatred of people who depend on them.
These three kinds of love and three kinds of hate are blended together throughout the film. Love dilutes hate. For example, Blisseis' love has changed Akisri, his hatred has been reduced a lot, and his love has increased a lot. Typically, when a Trojan soldier said he begged for mercy because of his son, Achilles said, "Hurry up and get out of the city."
A so-called god’s blessing eventually destroyed the Kingdom of Troy: the eldest son Hector did not approve of chasing after victory, but the priest said that “God has a good sign and can chase after victory”. The result was heavy losses; when the Trojan horse was outside the city, the second son suggested to burn it. But the sacrifice said, "This is a gift from the gods, and it should be welcomed into the city." Ignorance, this is something I despise, and therefore I don't like the role of King Troy, even though he is full of love. As everyone knows, Troy can still be independent after many countries have been annexed because of the bravery and strong walls of his people, not the blessing of God.
Humanity: Although Achilles is a killer, he has his own opinions. Although he hates Prince Hector deeply, when the Troy King came to beg for his son's body, he returned Hector's corpse under the true confession of the Troy King. The corpse; when Troy fell, this was also reflected in his forgiveness to a male soldier in an enemy country. There is no loss of humanity in the cruelty. For a fierce killer, this humanity is the result of the influence of the sacred love between men and women? Or is it a common humanity deeply buried in my heart? I feel at a loss...
cherish life, cherish the lives of those who love me and those who love me. Cherish your family, friendship and love. Fame and fortune are things outside of the body. Only when a lover can share with oneself, fame and fortune are meaningful. I benefited a lot after watching the film.
Because of love, people feel warm in this world.

    It's probably impossible for me not to add this one. Or is it another one? It’s true about the legend of God of War, the beautiful slut Helen, the second prince of Playboy, the huge Trojan horse and the insult to the corpse. In fact, the appearance of the story is all about political issues, but the film is not based on the political direction, but emphasizes Achilles’ bravery and heroic tragic. In the end, bows and arrows are always stronger than knives. Such a setting is not bad.
