Why the hell didnt Paris ....... ?
Achilles end.. wtf was that about ?

Bearing in mind that the invasion of iraq was started at the end of march 2003 and troy commenced filming in the uk in the same week...
Plus the minor detail the scrpt for troy was completed in 2002...
I doubt it
Anyway i cant see it from my viewing of this film so please enlighten me as to how you come to that conclusion

Well, a week has passed and I'm still looking for the Gods.
Someone care to explain how the fundamental relevance of Greek Mythology, the Gods themselves, were blatantly ignored in this movie, save for a passing reference to Apollo.
"Gee, Achilles, you really shouldn't have killed those priests, they are the priests of Apollo"
Achilles- "**** You"
Paul, how could you miss the Iraq invasion correlation?? Didn't you see those oil wells in the middle of Troy?
Oh, and I'm still looking for Cassandra and her "Beware Greeks baring gifts" prophecy as well.

somewhere in the movie, when Achilles was talking to Odysseus or Patroclus (I can't remember) about not participating in the fight.. he said something about all these soldiers have to die to satisfie one man's well.. and he has nothing against the trojans, why should he fight other's war..!!
beside the story line in the movie also made it go on that direction, or at least that what I thought..
anyway, this movie was about anything but, Homer's the illiad..
btw, I thought Patroclus was Achilles' friend, not his cousin..?? also, Achilles was not among those who were hidden inside the trojan horse, right? he was killed before Odysseus built it..??!!
