“They’ll be talking about this war for a thousand years”
Boy oh boy did he low ball that estimate

[shahedmarleen]

"In a thousand years, the dust from our bones will be gone, But our names will remain" It Has stuck with me forever.

[Kncperseus]

The dialogue is epic:
Hector: "You speak of war as if it's a game, but how many wives wait at the gates of Troy for husbands they will never see again?"
Achilles: "Perhaps your brother can comfort them, I hear he's good at charming other men's wives"
Hector's reaction: "Man's got a point"

Achilles’ essentially solo assault on the temple is one of the best fight choreography scenes I’ve ever seen! This movie knew how to make a straight up badass display of Achilles’ legendary skills. They were able to show that while Hector was a top tier warrior, Achilles was essentially a demigod of battle.

And incidentally, as a fencer, that move where he sweeps his blade up to knock his opponent’s sword off line before spinning it down to cut the guy’s throat actually works! We used to have a fun day when I was a collegiate fencer, where we’d have “battles” like this in a six v six teams. That poetic flow of blade work is actually extremely effective with a saber!

My sister studied greek classics in college and had a professor who loved this movie. He said it wasn't without its problems of course, but the way they choreographed Achilles's movements in battle is a near perfect match to how he is described in the tales. He is a lion among men. What an incredible compliment from someone who studied mythology deeply for many years.

I never noticed this, but during the whole Achilles and Hector dialog, Achilles was talking about himself and the glory of war, ... while Hector was talking about everybody else and the result of war.

8:20 “There are no pacts between lions and men…”

The way Achilles inches forward from the shadows to reveal his face perfectly resembles a lion stalking its prey. Makes me think of that quote lol

The spear-throws of Achilles and Hector were such an amazing idea to hammer home the difference in their level an hour+ before they even actually fight.
Achilles throw not even having an arch, just a straight laser hitting a moving rider further away than anyone though was possible, while Hectors throw, still being a great one, is curved, slow and easily dodged by Achilles, even on a much closer range.

They could never come up with a better version of Achilles; Pit had all the package described even by Homer in his Iliad

[JMG]

i don’t think people realize how great this scene is. starting off with defending the arrows while putting the shield on his back, then single handling taking on like 20 guys just by himself while on SAND and the the amount of weight on him too. this scene is a master piece

[calebmantle]

"The man wants to die" is my favorite line because it is reiterated throughout history. Soldiers in the revolution wrote about Alexander Hamilton as if he had total disregard for his own life. Some men will take the gamble to either die or be remembered forever.

"It's too early in the day for killing princes."

This is by far my favourite Brad Pitt's movie, followed by Meet Joe Black.

[susie]

"...I lived in a time of Achilles." Epic ending 👏

[BuriedAlien-TRN]

2:38 Achilles: "On My Command!."

[DP-eulr]

The moment hector witnessed a spear's flight path that was too perfect with terrifying speed and distance, but he still did not flinch, that proved hector was a great warrior, a warrior for his country and family.

[jamesmasztalerz]

"Do you know what's there, waiting beyond that beach, immortality, take it, it's yours"

[romancapulus]

Achilles: *Cuts off the head of the Sun God*
Apollo: “And I took that personally.”

[MusicLover-myfo]

You just don't see films like this anymore. In 2000 we got Gladiator, in 2004 we got Troy and Alexander and in 2006 we got 300. We were spoiled in the 2000's.

[huskytales]

Watched this in theaters when it came out and I still occasionally watch it over 20 years later. So many great lines.
