- Watching the Director's Cut for the first time, I was surprised by how much those additional 33 minutes improve the film. Several characters and storylines get some much-needed breathing room, and the extended sack of Troy is a particular highlight. It's a genuinely brutal depiction of the city's destruction, making the human cost of the war hit much harder. Visually, it's still a terrific spectacle, from the production design and costumes to the enormous battle sequences. The cast is another major strength. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana are excellent, Brian Cox is particularly good, and Peter O'Toole is simply magnificent. The man really is the king of epic movies. Diane Kruger is probably the weakest link, though, never quite convincing as Helen. I'm perfectly happy with the liberties taken with Greek mythology, but a few creative decisions don't work particularly well. Paris was hardly a great hero in the original story, but the film takes his cowardice and pathetic behaviour a bit too far. Having Hector kill Menelaus and Briseis murder Agamemnon are also questionable changes that unnecessarily alter the fates of major characters. Even the action occasionally goes overboard, with some of those arrows flying like machine-gun fire. Still, these are relatively minor complaints in a hugely entertaining production. The extended version gives the story more weight, the spectacle is fantastic, and the performances make it well worth the lengthy runtime.
- Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy remains one of the last true sword and sandals epics of its era, translating classical mythology into a gritty, star studded cinematic blockbuster. It definitely romanticizes the whole story of the Trojan War, but it does it so well. The scale of the movie is huge the sets look amazing and the battle scenes are incredibly well made and memorable. The acting is solid all around, but Brad Pitt absolutely steals the show as Achilles; he completely embodies the warrior vibe. Eric Bana is also fantastic as Hector, giving a really grounded and sympathetic performance.
- As someone who's curiosity around Greek mythology is deep, I thoroughly enjoyed Troy. While I wouldn't call myself a scholar on all the ancient stories, I am well aware that this film deviates heavily from the original myths and is packed with historical inaccuracies. However, if you can look past that, it is actually a pretty damn good watch. The filmmakers managed to compress a massive, sprawling legend into a solid three plus hours of incredibly well told storytelling. Purely in terms of epic, big-screen entertainment, it absolutely delivers.
⚔️🏛 Troy (2004): Were Paris & Helen Really to Blame for Troy's Fall?
When we all look back at this film, it's easy to blame Paris & Helen for everything that went down and happened. However were they really the ones responsible for Troy's ultimate destruction? "NO" and I'll explain why 👇 🔥 The Priest's Influence & Hector's Death When you look back at crucial moments and decisions through the film, there are 2 standout moments in it, about "Troy's whole destruction being all down to somebody else. And that person is "King Priam's" priest he influenced him to attack the Greek army based off bird signs 🐦🛑 🙄🙄🙄 and "Hector" very wisely says, if we attack the "Greeks" it could reunite the "Mermidons" with the "Greek" forces. Priam doesn't listen to the wise "Hector" and instead chooses to listen to that priest. Which as a result costs "Hector" his life. And to think "Achilles" and his "Mermidons" were going to sail home the next morning, how gutting and frustrating is that. And Secondly 🐎 The Trojan Horse: Paris Was Right! Say what you want about "Paris" did he cause the war a 💯 that's totally undeniable, however he wasn't the reason why "Troy" fell there's a significant difference between the two. At least "Paris" had the common sense to tell his father more than once to burn it. He knew instinctively, that something wasn't quite right, even if he didn't know what it was. But he did know that something felt off about it. And who convinces and has influence over "King Priam" that same priest once again. If he wasn't there, it's highly likely that "Paris" would have convinced his father not to bring that wooden horse into the city of Troy. And if "Hector" was still alive, he would have 💯 known it was a trap. There's a domino effect happening here, not because of "Paris or Helen" but because of that priest. He may as well have been on the "Greeks side, because of his stupid illogical calls & suggestions is what killed Troy. 💔 Was Priam Responsible for His Own City's Destruction? For me more than anything, this is what makes "Troy's" downfall so tragic. Paris & Helen may have ignited the war, but the destruction of "Troy" all came down to the result of poor leadership on his part, misplaced trust into that clown 🤡 of a priest and crucial decisions made at the absolute worst possible moments. Again going back to "Paris" he recognises that something isn't quite adding up, with the trojan horse. But "King Priam" ignores his son's very wise & sensible advice. I like "King Priam" he had a good heart, and was a good man, but his willingness to trust the priest over reason & logic, ultimately contributes to the deaths of his people in the end. And the whole decimation of Troy. As it is here, sometimes a city and innocent people get killed because a war begins. It's all destroyed because the people who are responsible for protecting it, make the wrong decisions when it matters most. 🏛🔥
