Troy-Larger than History

The fight of the Unequals
It may be a page out of  Homer's Iliad but the 2004 rendition of Troy is certainly larger than history.

Anyone watching the movie will think that it is all about the life and times of Achilles.

Watching this movie in retro, provides one with a perspective that man is altogether  sinful both in love and war.

As always, winner takes all.

So, we see a larger than life Brad Pitt as Achilles against Eric Bana's Hector. Nothing stops Achilles except that arrow from Paris.

Great movie, great music and great theme song.

The other stars included Diane Kruger as Helen and Rose Byrne as Breidis.

Great trip down memory lane for me!
