ACHILLES | REMEMBER THE NAME

It gives me goosebumps to think that more than 2500 years after his death, we know his name, and that he fought so magnificent that people thought he was immortal.

TROY is a timeless masterpiece!

- he's the biggest man I've seen. I wouldn't want to fight him. - that's why no one will remember your name Achilles and child

"Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?"

Whenever I watch any of Brad Pitt's movies, I see Brad Pitt in them. Troy was the only movie where I didn't see Brad Pitt, I saw Achilles. One of my favourite movies of all time... Love Achilles, Hector, Priam... Great cast and a great depiction of Troy -> this coming from someone who loves Homer's Iliad & Odyssey...

sad they no longer make movies like this anymore :(

“We will never be here again.”

You know he's the greatest when Alexander the great was inspired by him that is true greatness

"How many cousins have you killed, how many sons and fathers brothers and husbands? How many brave Achilles?"

Agamemnon disliked the video, sack of wine

My brothers of the Sword, let no man forget how menacing we are We are Lions!

"You'll never be lovelier than you are now, we will never be here again" talk about a truth bomb

Hector: the unsung Hero

The man who can never be beaten. Will remember the name achillies

Let them say, we live in the times of Achilles, Let them say I live in the times of Hector

"Sing oh Goddes, of the rage of Achilles, that which bought countless devastations upon the Achaeans" If you've not read the Iliad before, here's a history lesson for you: - Achilles was the single most destructive force on the battlefields of Troy and that includes the God of War, Ares, who was fighting alongside the Trojans. - The movie portrays the fight between Hector and Achilles as somewhat evenly matched. It wasn't. Achilles kills Hector in a single blow. The very sight of Achilles caused Hector to flee in utter fear and panic. Hector, up to this point, has been shown to be able to fight toe-to-toe with the undisputed second greatest fighter of the Greeks, Greater Ajax. - After Patroclus' death and upon his return to the battlefield, it's heavily implied Achilles single-handedly drives back the entire Trojan army (depending on the translation you read). He kills so many men a nearby river is dammed up and flows blood instead of water, causing the river god to attack Achilles in self-preservation. - His rage is so consuming that almighty Zeus himself is concerned that he, Achilles, will break fate itself. - There is zero mention of his invulnerability in the original poem. It's fact that Achilles is obsessed with his own mortality and this is a massive influence in his decision-making process throughout the poem. Wouldn't make sense if he knew himself to be invulnerable. So his slaughter of the Trojans is committed with Achilles having all the failures of a mortal body. And he does all this within a book or two out of 24. Whether there's a historical basis for him or not is debateable but you can't argue he's the most legendary warrior in human history.

The state of Myrmidon was the past and long forgotten history, but the story of Achilles and Hector would always remembered

That downward sword thrust is spectacular

Troy is an epic and the character achilles written and played perfectly

This video is a masterpiece! 1. Excellent music choice! 2. Excellent choice of clips! 3. Excellent editing!
