Troy 2004 - Tumblr Posts

You speak of war as if it’s a game. But how many wives wait at Troy’s gates for husbands they’ll never see again? TROY (2004) dir. Wolfgang Petersen

Made this for fun the other day

The Trojan war AUs that I wanted vs The Trojan war AUs Hollywood gives me

…what if Penelope had been the one abducted to Troy

[6/?] Favorite parts of Troy (2004):

“Too many men have died here today, I don’t want anyone dieing for me.”

I kinda want to see another The Odyssey movie, staring Sean Bean, as a sequel to Troy (2004). The bad decision of making a straight Achilles couldn't change the fact that the cast was amazing. Also Sean Bean goes really well with unfortunate characters.

One of the most obvious arguments in favor of a romantic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is simply that it makes sense from a writers perspective. Want to absolutely destroy your main character? Bring them to their breaking point? Punch your reader in the gut? Kill the love interest.

I mean, come on, the greeks were the inventors of the tragedy for a reason. What's more tragic? The death of cousin/comrade or the death of the person you are irrevocably and maddly in love with?
