Great fight scene though. The Hector versus Achilles is one of the best ever!

Can I say though, Orlando Bloom’s acting in this is spectacular. I have never cringed so much as I did when he started to crawl to Hector. He played it so pathetically and I could really feel that immaturity and naivety in his performance. Bloom, up until this film, had been in LOTR and Pirates 1, playing very honourable, kind and selfless characters, characters that were beyond their years. It was truly a testament to his acting ability honestly. I just feel he really does deserve some mad street cred 🫳🎤

As somebody setting up a career as romantic and heroic leading roles, especially a man who is very good looking but also somewhat slight and accused of being a pretty boy, to take the role of one of the ultimate pretty boy, coward, fuckups in the entire history of human storytelling was probably a move some of his business managers cautioned against.

PunchFor Pound PunchFor Pound You’re thinking way too much about that line. Let’s assume a Prince had indeed perished on the battlefield in that geographical region at some point in history before sorry Paris got caught up in this little dispute. And let’s assume the corpse was eaten by crows, well a crow lives for what? 15 years or so? You can therefore interpret that he’s referring to the crows alive in that moment, who have never tasted the blood of a prince before. As Jurgen Klopp would say...”Boom”. Honestly, the film Troy is so full of far fetched scenes and fantastical ideas that it’s ironic you would choose to criticise that particular line, which is actually one of the more realistc scenes in the film in comparison to others. It’s almost like that line ruined the ‘realness’ of the movie for you...it’s a movie about Greek gods mate come on. Besides, you were not correct about the crow thing anyway. Do you feel like we’ve bridged the ‘cultural gap’ now or shall we keep going?

3:18 I love the acting here, you can really see that hector is torn between honor and protecting his little brother. The honorable thing would've been to let his brother die. After all, his little brother is a man, who has entered an agreement with the opponent. It even looks like he agrees with what Menelaus says about royalty. Hector knows that Paris is being an absolute coward, disgraceful and pitiful, however he is not about to turn away his little brother who is literally at his feet begging him to save his life.

He didn't even have to agree to that in the first place, could've just stayed in troy with Helen safe behind walls as the battle raged on seeing as Agamemnon was going to set his army upon them no matter what. But he chose to duel the guy and then punked out, Paris thought it would be heroic, poetic. But his older brother told him on the boat, there is nothing glamorous about it. Hector being a man of honor, even when facing certain death (as shown in his fight against Achilles) knows that this is cowardly, he knows what it is to enter an agreement between men and would never run away in a way such as this, crawling and basically begging for his life. I mean, think of how different that scene would've been when he fights Achilles, had he tried running away from death when losing. Hector wouldn't break his honor this way to save his own life, however, for Paris, like he said, 'He is my brother.' He isn't about to let him die when he's begging for life. Doesn't matter if his intentions or his attempt were brave, in the end he ran away like a 🐝 -otch.

The way he hesitantly approaches, with his defenses already up to full and his sword pointing out. Contrast that with how a seasoned fighter like Achilles approaches a fight, so skilled that he has the confidence to approach it semi-relaxed. Menelaus knows this so obviously that he's fighting a total wimp that he throws away his shield because he knows he won't need it and proceeds to even take Paris's away from him right out of his own hands. He absolutely steamrolled Paris.

In the account of Dares, the Phrygian, Menalaus, King of Sparta was described as "..of moderate stature, auburn-haired, young, strong and very handsome, had an extremely pleasing personality." A very fierce warrior. Like Achilles and Odysseus, he struck down so many men, there were oceans of blood at his feet. Yet, an extremely kind and wise ruler. Thought to be the fairer beside his brother, Agamemnon. He was blessed by the Gods. Rich, charitable and also forgiving. After 9 years of war with the Trojans, he finally took Helen back home to Sparta and ruled.

His brother was more of an arrogant, fierce and authoritative sort. His looks were stern and hard rather than smooth and gentle - his face and eyes are even compared to Zeus to convey his authority and the power in his gaze. Thus he was less handsome. Menelaus was well mannered, self sacrificing, forgiving, and positively gentle in comparison to most of the Achaean kings. His fiercest battles were when he was rescuing Odysseus and protecting Patroclus’ body. That is telling of his character. Him and his brother were treated very badly in this adaptation.

I always found the portrayal of Menelaus interesting in Troy; he's shown as a cruder, brutish man, and that Helen left him for Paris because of this. The Illiad shows Menelaus as, in fact, an honorable king amongst the other Greeks, and that Helen's fleeing with Paris is more the work of guile and the trickery of Aphrodite, who promised Helen to Paris as his wife. Interesting how things change when the gods are removed. I always wanted to see a movie of the Trojan War with the gods in it.

He started defensive but Menelaus literally beat him down until he was on his knees. So he panicked and started offensively. Honestly it wasn’t a bad idea because Paris could barely hold his shield let alone wait for an opening.

I love how the swords just sing through the air in this movie

The fact that he killed Achilles makes me lose my fuckin mind

Agamemnon's laugh is priceless , he is like "God this is so funny **Grabs popcorn**"

Even though he must be feeling so much shame and embarrassment, Hector's ''He's my brother'' is touching. He loves him still even though it is about to cost them everything.

@@Southern_Crusader If my brother was such scum, such a coward who would let the city I am entitled to inherit, the city housing my wife, children, his and my other brothers, my friends, my cousins, his and my sisters, I couldn’t stand to save him. Hector was a compassionate man - and that is why he distinguishable from all other “”heroes”” in this film - he is relatable. But even so, I don’t think I could let him be killed before my eyes. Not in front of me.

Menelaus may have had a point, but Hector was absolutely in the right too. "He is my brother." Such a simple, albeit powerful, line. Family comes first, no matter what. You defend them to your dying breath, even if they are in the wrong.

Good observation. Menelaus I think believed Hector to understand be in synch on what is happening. All of this is literally just Paris's fault. None of this grief or potential death would happen if he didn't take Helen. Everyone knows Menelaus was wronged and Hector stabbing him shocked him because ultimately he thought the failure of Paris as a leader. As a person. Would be enough to tell Hector its best to let him go for the sake of Troy and everyone involved.

What an absolute coward. I remember seeing this for first time as a kid. Even then i recognized the cowardice of Troy and rooted for the Greeks up till the end.

"think of your sword and his sword, nothing else" best line ever from a greatest warrior. Btw many thinks hectar killing menelaos is dishonor. Yes agree, but even if paris continue and lost the battle, the war will still take place because they came for the troy, not for hellen.
