The Gods envy us, because we are mortal
Though most would probably remember another quote from Achilles ("Immortality! Take it! It's yours!" because of the contest they had on Class95 awhile ago) I prefer this line from the big man.

Troy is absolutely great. Brad Pitt's character, Achilles, is an undefeatable whirlwind, cutting down enemy soldiers with each swing of his sword. His duel with Prince Hector (Eric Bana) was sibeh zai. The way his moves were choreographed, he truely had the style of a man who killed a thousand (even Battousai was not drawn so stylishly). Lightning quick and very confident of every sword stroke, Hector would stumble as he defended Achille's attacks while Achilles was steady and ready to swing again.

For me, the movie could have almost been renamed Achilles. Totally stole the whole show. Another portion of the movie that I really found interesting was when Presieus (not too sure of the spelling) the female cousin of the Trojan princes, attempted to murder Achilles in his sleep. She held a dagger to his throat but gotten so charmed by Achilles and ended up giving him her body. I am VERY fascinated by the power one can have over the opposite sex. Like in an earlier movie, Untold Scandals (Korean), Bay Yong Jun's character skillfully seduced many of the female characters, left me in deep respect of his charm and power over the ladies. Not with the intention of cheating on Adeline, I think it would be incredible to be able to make members of the opposite sex do almost anything for you. I think it is definetly time to go Borders and hopefully they still have on their shelves this book, The Art of Seduction.
