Helen arrives to Troy - Troy [Director's Cut] HD

Helen, Paris, and Hector arrive to Troy after sailing from Sparta.

[KMDragonS]

Hector: dad next time you send me off on a diplomatic mission for peace, just send me alone.

[hutp]

"Helen of Sparta?"
"Helen _of Troy_"
Priam: We'll talk about this later...

[dfcardenas]

The music is beautiful when Hector and Paris enter the city of Troy. This is one of the best movies about the ancient empires of the world ever made. Eric Bana played Hector so well.

It's amazing they were welcomed so warmly considering they knew what would happen next. They went on a peace mission and brought back the worst war imaginable.

Must be nice to walk into a room and everyone starts applauding.

“The face that launched a thousand ships”.

Helen of Sparta was known widely for her beauty. There's no denying her graceful apparence.

But Briseis and Andromache also both had their charm. Beauty in women can be found in all forms. Brunette or blonde, blue eyed or hazel eyed, women can be beauties whatever.

[Killzoneguy]

Why the hell are the Trojans cheering for Paris and Hector's return? They were sent to Sparta for the express purpose of securing peace. Instead, they return bringing war with all of Greece. Their mission is, by definition, a catastrophic failure. You don't throw a parade for that.

R.I.P Peter O'toole. King Priam.

This scence to me is just perfect. The score, acting, and beautiful setting. Just perfect

[NiVi]

Probably an unpopular opinion, but am I the only one whose favorite female Troy character is crown princess Andromache, the wife of Hector? Queen Helena of course is the epitome of grace and beauty (also a mature enough woman to know what's bound to happen...her longing for true love just overcomes her reason). Briseis is the embodiment of a young idealistic, strong-willed princess with a truly pretty face. Andromache however is everything: Extremely clever and far-sighted, loyal yet self-confident, lovely but also tough, outstandingly beautiful - *love **#SaffronDominiBurrows* - but never vain. That woman would've made a fantastic Queen, not to mention a life-long dream team with Hector! 😩

... Now that I think about it, Andromache is the one real loser in this whole tragedy. The one character who hadn't done anything wrong, yet lost almost everything in the end!

[christalwalls]

She was beautiful but because of her a great Kingdom fell. Hector was killed and the father/ruler was slayen.
She brought tragedy and death. Paris was a fool!

[idymarcowe]

Priam is a true hero. He accepts the arrival of Helen and even welcomes her as she is one of them.

[ikki]

What an ost. The entry of hector in Troy's theme is amazing. Gives it such an epic feel

[tadimaggio]

Several points about "Troy" (one of my favorite films):

1. The set design for the city of Troy is MAGNIFICENT! I don't know how historically accurate it is -- and I don't care.

2. "Troy" is one of the best-cast films EVER. Peter O'Toole is PERFECT as Priam; his scene with Achilles all by itself should have easily won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Eric Bana is, as always, a WONDERFUL actor. (THIS, Hollywood gentlemen, is how you embody the word "manly" without overdoing it.) Sean Bean left me wishing that someone would cast him in a first-rate film of "The Odyssey". Even Julie Christie, in her one scene as Thetis, makes an indelible impression.

3. People who remark on how "Troy" changed the Greek myths on which it was based should remember that the Greeks themselves had multiple versions of their sacred stories. In one version, the entity who leaves Sparta with Paris ISN'T actually Helen, but a phantom duplicate of her; the real Helen is spirited away to Egypt, where she sits out the war in peace, and eventually hooks up with Menelaus (who is VERY different from his avatar in this film) and returns to Sparta with him.

from now on I'm saying "for the gods" before doing a shot

[metal_h_dteacher]

Hector and andromacha... best of all the bonds...

[TinaLouise]

Helena of Troy! The face that launched a thousand ships!

[fayetopias]

Helen is pretty but I’ve always found Briseis to be gorgeous

[JeffreyDeCristofaro]

Peter O'Toole is my favorite actor of all time and this was the first time I saw him on the big screen!!! Hands down the BEST King Priam!!! RIP Peter - thanks for all the great memories I had watching you on both the big and small screens before you left us.😢

Side note: this was also my introduction to Rose Byrne, who I REALLY hope to work with one day!
