Troy one epic movie for one epic story

well, it is up to you to discover if you can muster that kind of love

According to the ancient writers who have written much more about the Trojan War than Homer did, (his Illiad was really just the story of the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon and this quarrell is the basis for the film as well) he does however give a list of all the cities and peoples involved on both sides and from that, it's clear that on the Trojan side, there were people from cities and regions that cover most of what is now western Turkey. On the Greek side, he lists all the cities and the numbers of ships that each city was providing. If you add them all up, there's about 1000 ships in the Greek fleet that sailed to Troy, or Illium as it was also known. Helen has come down to us as "The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships" Thats referring to the number of ships in the Greek fleet of course. Now, the reason for the war. Well, the kidnapping of the wife of the king of Sparta may have been the excuse for the war, but Troy was situated on the Bosphorus were the Trojans could control and tax all ships passing through this important and strategic shipping route. The reason for the Greeks attacking the city therefore was most probably to break the Trojan's contol of the Bosphorus and to seize control of it themselves.

I think it is possible to love someone in real life to make a lot of stupid things just for her. Love gives you a very big power and you never know what to do with it. I also like very much the movie and I must say Brad Pitt played very good in this movie and not only him.
