This film pretty much follows the story with very few exceptions and possible ending. However the few exceptions and ending is what makes this story work as a movie instead of a long poem. Stories being told may ways five different insights and there should be no conflict between the reader and viewer and both stories are real to the observer.

For you that forgot the story and you that know the story well but have not seen this movie basically we are looking at a story that you may or may not have had an opportunity to sidestep in school but can never have a grasp on social history with out it. Some call it real and lost in antiquity. Others say that homer had a Good imagination. And others treat it as an allegory with a historical background.

Brad Pitt who has played fickle people before is excellent in the part of Achilles and is sort of a heel. Nothing less was expected. It was the other actors that played their parts so well that you forgot you were watching the movie.

-----------------------------------------------------
Two Trojan princes are the guests of the Spartan ruler Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson). While Menelaus is preoccupied with other matters he leaves his wife, Helen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), to her own devises. The younger Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) is left alone to many times with Helen and decides against everyone else's better judgment to make her Helen of Troy and thus pilfers her from Menelaus.

As a husband Menelaus is of course miffed. However his brother the Greek king Agamemnon (Brian Cox) sees this as an opportunity to absorb Troy into his territory. Natural this spawns a war in which Agamemnon recruits Achilles an extremely gifted and charmed warrior. Achilles goes to make a name for him self. He brings his cronies, and his cousin. Together they do many bold and callous things.

I will not go into the details of the war as you either know or will soon know the details. However I will say that I thought that the Trojan horse was well and realistically designed. And you may want to pay attention to the background music as it is relevant to the film.

戦闘シーンが派手でラブシーンあり。そんな感じの映画です。
イリアスを知っていようがいなかろうが然したる影響はないでしょう。
何せパリスがアレですもん・・。

「トロイの木馬」で有名なギリシャ神話のトロイ戦争をテーマにした歴史スペクタクル。これは面白かった〜〜！傑作だと思います。

この映画で一番良かったところはなんといっても登場人物の魅力ですね。善玉悪玉男も女も脇役に至るまで皆個性的で、印象に残る人物ばかりでした。人物がみんなハッキリした役割を与えられていて、ストーリー的に曖昧な立ち位置の人物がいないんですね。それがうまく作用していると思います。皆ハマリ役だしなあ…

そしてストーリー。僕は「トロイ戦争」に関する知識ゼロでこの映画を観たわけですが、ハッキリ言ってすっごいわかりやすい話でしたね（笑）単純明快ながらドラマチックで感動もちゃんとあるストーリー、とても良かったです。史実にはあまり忠実では無いようですが、面白いので問題なし。オススメ！

深く考えずに、映像美を楽しむ映画。
戦闘シーンの迫力は秀逸。

ストーリーは、とことん馬鹿馬鹿しい。
ひたすら無視が最善。

トロイの城壁、木馬。
ほろ酔い気分で、楽しみましょう。

　美女を巡ってトロイとスパルタの間で戦争が繰り広げられたという古代ギリシアの伝説「トロイ戦争」。
　内容は、ホメロスが語り継いだ物語の映画化ですから、パターンは一緒ですが、迫力はありますね。
　なんと監督が「パーフェクト・ストーム」のベーターゼン。出演がブラッド・ビットやオーランド・ブルームなど、名優揃い。

　僕はこの映画を出張中に、わずかな時間を作って見たのですが、時間を感じさせませんでしたね。
　過去数回映画かもされているが、やはり見ておきたい映画です。
