Troy (2004) - A Epic Movie To Remember

Hello, amazing people of the CineTV community, there is something about movies that are good that makes them very hard to forget. I do miss the days when movies about the older times were done, where people used swords and shields to fight battles. The training and the involvement of gods in the lives of mortals. I really wanted to watch something of action where guns are not used, but people fight with their hands, body, and sword, and win the fight with their intellect. Well, there are movies like that; for example, "300," but one movie that caught my attention, which hasn't left my mind since, is a movie that was released in 2004, titled "Troy."

I'm going to be honest; I watched Troy a while back, and most of the details are now mixing up with some other great movies that have to do with swords, but I do remember it being an epic film, and I am going to tell you about the amazing storyline. The movie is a war movie, and the protagonist's name is "Achilles."

From what I remember, the storyline of Troy follows the legendary Trojan War, a ten-year conflict between the city-states of Troy and Greece. The story is about the Prince Paris of Troy, who falls in love with the king's wife, "Helen," the queen of Sparta, and he had the guts to take her back to Troy. This sparks a massive Greek army, led by King Agamemnon, to lay siege to Troy and reclaim Helen.

Meanwhile, there was a great warrior in the army of the Greek, "Achilles." He was a man who seek battle and believed he could never lose any fight, driven by a desire for glory and immortality. However, Achilles' pride and anger often put him at odds with Agamemnon and other Greek leaders. Achilles was a great fighter, and some believed his father would have been one of the Greek gods.

One of the epic fight scenes was between Achilles and Hector. The battlefield was where both cities had gathered their men to fight just because of a lady.

One thing I came to understand about this movie is that love can start a war and can also end it. If I remember right, Achilles died in the ending of the movie, and we all waited for a second part of this movie, and to date, they haven't given us anything. It was a miracle we got the second part of 300, but with the way things are going, I doubt there will be a second part of it.

Troy is an amazing film, and I believe no matter how much you don't like sitting for a long time to watch movie, I can assure you that you wouldn't stand up once while watching Troy. I would rate it a 9/10. That's how good the film is.
