Troy (2004)

somebody said something about Troy being similar to lotr?
Yeh, i thot that 2 . . . . . . . . 😄

i think all movies are kinda the same...so when something truly unique comes along, we should appreciate it fully...i have no idea what i'm talking about...lol. yeah, they had their similiarities. nothing can comepare to lotr tho, of course...but troy definetely had some redeeming qualities.

I loved the movie. 😄

Basically, for Hector, Achilles and Priam. Priam had the best lines, when he met Achilles. That entire scene was absolutely fantastic.

There's nothing much that can be said at the moment (which has not been said before!) 😉

yeah. i've said everything i can think of at least twice. i must've said i loved the movie like sixty times... but whatever...i'm glad u liked it...i thot the part with Priam and Achilles was great too...it made them both really...human...u kno?

troy similiar to lotr??.............uh i dont see it.

wars...battles...music...passion...something like that...i dunno...

hm and i c a connection between where the forces of Mordor storm into Minas Tirith and where the Greeks take over Troy and the cities are both burning with guys running everywhere . . . . . . . .
Organised chaos 😛

Did that make sense? It did to me 🙄

Well isnt that what supposedly happen?!
As for the music, hmmm all these epics sound the same LOL
Thou that " I live forever, remember me!" Song at the end of Troy sounds way cool! Better then some LOTR songs 😘

I loved LOTR songs....✅

Troy music was ok...sounded very Hans Zimmer like, although it wasnt him that composed it.

Gladiator music is amazing.

oh god why do people keep comparing LOTR with everything. Sheesh

lol. i agree...LOR is its own unique think...most wonderful books ever written and movies ever made...but thats just me opinion...tho i can see the similarities between LOR and troy...but whatever...god i blabber a lot...

We were actually talking about music, not the film comparisons 🤨

oh, oops...well, i don't remember the music from troy that well, but it was a bit like LOR i thot...

Did anyone know that Achilles is supposed to be gay (or bisexual or something). Cuz I've heard that in the original legend he had a boyfriend 😕 😆 .

Hey, i thought the movie was great, but i dont see connections to LotR... the soundtrack is different and the story either. I think some things out of the Ilias really happened...
The actors were great, and even orlando was acceptable.
@fanatos: Never heard that...but i didnt read the Ilias itself...only a book about it which was written for lil children 😆 I only know of that friend which faoughtagainst Hector and died... his cousin?

Most greek warriros perusaded homsexuality, it was normal in those times, unlike today! 🙄

the only link to LOTR troy had was getting like half the cast of it and it also just took half the cast of braveheart............. and by the way the movie was terrible, they changed it completely from the true troy story of the Illiad

all guys in that time there were pretty close with eachother ... one could have let to the other ... the most you can claim would be bi

it probably was a man, who was a good friend, like a fellow soldier, like in band of brothers

@drifter: yay they changed a lot...though i never red the illias itself...
but i think it was okay to change that for a movie... they changed a lot in LotR either.. it was a good movie either...
well i think they gotta change sumthing... and it was tsill good 😉
half the cast from LotR? I only know Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean right now...
