In year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age, two emerging nations begin to clash. Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnon to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. They set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy.

this aligns with familiar patterns of homophobic thinking. or maybe it's just my paranoia acting up again.

this was my odyssey study class
Been in my watchlist for over years, but this was high time to watch it as fast and closer to the release of odyssey as possible, so it could decrease the weight of nolan's complexities while watching the movie and i can focus more on symbolisms... now let's come to movie's review; I was not expecting movie to be more focused on human dynamics than battles, and they ticked boxes & very well too. I was connected to the characters if it was Achilles or Hector and their arcs but i think for some characters it was less screen time like for Odysseus; yeah they shown he was good with tactics but it was just for who have known before movie, and many more characters were less portrayed. It was not a Achilles movies even i liked his character but from i know, they had more elements to build the character relationships... I am just little mad over the brighter the scale could have been if they focused equally but the few relationships they shown and grounded they made it feel is in itself is appreciable. i was emotionally connect to all the main leads, their perspective were definitely accurate to show the sufferings of war beside focusing mostly on battles.
