Who else has seen this movie? It is filled with good qualities. The costume design was great. And I understand why it got a R rating. And I'm sayin this not because of the brutal death and anialation... One of the most beautifully directed sex scenes that had no hint of pornishness whatsoever. Sweet, sleek and simple.

True. Trust me, I see alot of movies. My dad has a library of 'em. From old to new. The whole drama thing was good at some points, at the fact that Achillies could take a gladius and, in a split seconed, stab it in a guy's shoulder then out without getting blood on it. Not realistic.

History was way off. The idea of the horse comes from when a Greek army surrounded the city of troy....they had no way to break its defenses and instead of thinking of a idea after like a week ( ) they sieged the city for about 7 years I believe...than a earthquake ripped though the walls of Troy causing a massive crack to appear...the Greeks stormed it and took the city...As a thank you to the god of earthquakes and sea Poseidon they left a statue in troy and Poseidon statues took the shape of *drum roll*......horses.

no no no. i thought when the greeks way of surrendering was leaving their horses. but instead they left a wooden horse (trojan horse also called) they hid in the horse and attacked at night they needed to open the gate while aggamenmon(sp?) brought reinforcements

Accourding to plato yes, the horse held only 7 people, and was used to open the gate, then they came out at night, and opend the gate,, though the earth quake DID deal a killing blow to Troy, that is one of the things that caused the fall of the Hetite Empire

Oh and for those under 14, don't see it. There is plenty of sexual scenes and partial nudity. Yes you will see plenty of "back". NOT FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES.
