Re: Re: Re: Movie Critique, may not want to reas if you haven't seen it yet

Well when Hecto died, I felt bad for Hector . . .

But I thought that wasa good scene. You could see that Hector didn't expect to win, he had mentally lost before he went outside.

You could kind of feel how bad that must have been.

What do you guys think of Paris running away from the personal conflict with menelaus? Was he a coward? Masculine virtues says he should have stayed and died, but perhaps women would see it differently? Maybe he just took the commom sense route?

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.
