been thinking a lot about what people have said about troy...
well its a great historical tragedy, so the endings' pretty much expected ...
but still my heart wrenches at the ending...
about the story i can only say the movie din really follow the original story evry closely...but close enuf...>.<
about its characters, i have so much to say and think about...
ps i m gonna start talking abt the movie so if u havent watched it and want to watch it, u can stop here and exit outta my blog...

everyone probably likes hector...
eric bana is probably gonna shoot to even bigger fame after this...
after all he got the good role of the good man hector..
i remember he had one line, sth like, i have a code of honour, its easy to foloow, love you r country, love your woman and defend your country..sth liddat

easily anyone could emphatize with him...
i mean he s a filial son, a loyal husband, a loving father and a responsible and patriotic man..
or maybe thts how the show portrays him to be...but its like, in real life, in history, we really dun noe what he s like, we only know for sure tht he is a great defender and loyal man to troy...all the rest we are not sure...
plus he has a added advantage...a really cute baby son...aww manz...
he and his wife both have dark hair while his son has light hair...means both of them must have one dark haired allele and light haired allele to give rise to their son who has two light hair allele, each from one of his parents...okay okay forget bio, i dun even take it now...but i like this topic...

anyway his wife is a good woman, his charcter is pleasing and he has a cute son...what more can an audience ask for?...

but i d like to think tht archilles is a sad character...
the show potrays him first as a womaniser and a selfish half mortal..
but as the movie progresses on, i feel myself feeling sad and happy for him..this botter sweet feeling...
about being rash, about his bad temper, about his bruteness...and also about his gentleness which surfaces only for a small while..
all this and so much more...

i d like to think he really loved the girl, i d like to think there really was such a story...
but in real life, there was no girl..
he was a lone warrior...few friends and many foes..
sad fate...his mother tried to make him immortal by washing him in a river with special water...but she left out his heels...thus sealed his fate to be shot down by paris at his weakest point, his heels...
im glad the show potrays him as more humane and more feeling...brash and brute...yet gentle...
but in real life, we dun know for sure what he was like...we only know his story was a sad and angry one...
fightng his whole life, a born warrior...

sad sad story...

helen....well i think shes really pretty...she s another sad story...>.<
about her marriage to that lan sai king of sparta...and her seduction by paris...
shes really vulnerable...like a bird in a cage just waiting to fly out...and paris just happened to be the one who could release her and let her free...
about her loving paris, i wun know whether its true for sure...
after all it happened so long ago...and it was probably because both of the are good looking...infatuation does happen...
love?...maybe not...especially for paris...
maybe helen loved him...but he lusted after her...he had passion for her...but love?...i think it was a one sided love affair on her part..lol suddenly remember hector saying sth about worshipping the gods being a one sided love affair...>.<

paris...
i really dun like his character..
but orlando bloom succeeded...i tink, cos i came out of the cinema cursing and scowling at his character...he successfully made me dislike his chicken coward character, paris...

paris is one lousy man...
he should have died...
he was too young...too brash...too ...erm...inexperienced...
coward!
even if troy had won troy would nt have lasted long in his rule...
about his being young and naive...
that is part of his character i suppose...

so in overall after i have torn the story apart and slowly tot thru its charcters, i think its a pretty good show...go watch it...even if u dun think as much as i do...u d probably watch it cos its a blockbuster and will be remembered even after mayb 10 years?

and maybe cause you think orlando bloom is a pretty boy brad pitt has a hot bod diane kruger is a chio bu and eric bana was the hulk..

contrary to what hs said...i wasnt drooling at any of the guys in the show...
nope not brad pitt, even though i really liked his character as death in meet joe black...despite that being a pretty lousy movie...
i was more feeling sad for him...

and anyway i dun like orlando bloom..i dun even like legolas...would choose aragorn over him any day...

i always feel sad...
why issit that when watching a movie i have to be so....thinking...and not enjoy it like everyone else enjoys a blockbuster?...
why cant i tear like all the other girls do when they see hectors father beg to have his body back?...why dun i drool at brad pitt and orlando?...i am hopeless...

my mom s starting to nag again..shit...it ll never end...
have to go woodlands library for pw later...
so long, freedom
so long, slacking

now i wanna leave this place.
