My boyfriend and I were having this conversation too, and I totally agree. Most "battle movies" are usually partial or do not do a very good job of portraying both sides of the story. The writers/director did a great job of making the audience sympathetic to both the Greeks and Trojans (excluding Agamemnon). When Patroclus died, you felt bad for Achilles...When Hector died, you felt bad for Priam, etc.
