Troy

Here is another version of the much heard Greek mythology of the Helen of Troy, the Trojan horse and the Trojan war.
Agamemnon is trying to conquer every bit of land he can to make his Greece. Helping him in the venture are kings, who are dutifully worried about their subjects, and do his bidding and Achilles. Troy has always been a strong kingdom. Agamemnon's brother proposes peace with them. However, the young Trojan prince, Paris is very much in love with Helen of Sparta, sister-in-law of Agamemnon. In the face of love, he brings Helen with him in their ship.
Agamemnon's brother is rightfully mad and Agamemnon uses this as an opportunity to conquer Troy. Troy puts up a brave fight in warding them off.
Achilles funds love in Briseis, Hector's and Paris' cousin. He listens to her and backs off from the war. But Patroclus, his young inexperienced cousin, ends up getting killed in the hands of Hector, by posing like Achilles.
In anger, Achilles kills off Hector. Achilles softens up to stop any attacks on Troy for the mourning period. At the end of the mourning period, Troy finds a huge wooden horse on its shores and all of Greeks gone. Taking this as the sign of God, they take the horse.
Overnight, the Greeks come out of the horse slaying every Trojan they could lay their hands on. And so fell Troy. And in this battle, Paris takes revenge by killing off Achilles.
I have always loved Greek and Roman mythologies. So this was definitely a treat to watch. Besides Eric Bana had done a great job in posing as the rightful, gentlemanly and brave Trojan warrior. He was probably the hero of the movie. As was Sean Bean, who came as Odysseus. The sets were captivating. My favourite scene is when the princes are returning - everyone is clad in bluish robes and that was the central theme. Definitely a good movie worth the watch. I was watching for the 7th time myself.
