why fight

The comment I just forwarded was well written. I think this film mainly reflects the sadness of human nature and historical politics, and the heroes of that era are just victims of politics.

People of that era were rude, impulsive, cruel, like war, like to fight, what is the difference with animals, no kindness and reason. Therefore, education can develop human rationality.

Human nature is mostly reflected in the two heroes. The god of war, Achilles, was born for this war and died for it. But he was peaceful before he died, he no longer fought for the glory of nothingness, and gained inner peace. Hector, the prince of Troy, was a sober man, but he couldn't stop his brother's stupidity and had to fight for his people. This is his responsibility.

Achilles thinks about why he fought in this war, and we also need to think about why we fight in our own lives, whether it is the dust of ideas or the sacrifice of the times.

Troy quotes

  • Agamemnon: [upon seeing Achilles' boat to land first on the beaches of Troy] The man wants to die!

  • [Priam kneels and kisses Achilles' hands]

    Achilles: Who are you?

    Priam: I have endured what no one on earth has endured before. I kissed the hands of the man who killed my son.

    Achilles: [realizes, stands abrubtly] Priam? How did you get in here?

    Priam: I know my country better than the Greeks, I think.

    Achilles: [walks forward, lifts Priam] You are a brave man. I could have your head on a spit in the blink of an eye.

    Priam: Do you really think death frightens me now? I watched my eldest son die, watched you drag his body behind your chariot. Give him back to me. He deserves a proper burial, you know that. Give him to me.

    Achilles: He killed my cousin.

    Achilles: He thought it was you. How many cousins have you killed? How many sons and fathers and brothers and husbands? How many, brave Achilles?
