I remmember it because i have good memory

Same things happened in real life. The prideful, narcissistic people usually won against the honourable ones

We need a training day 2 in 2025

Tigers not lions

4:45 No wasted movements! His side step was used to block the blade with his shin guard while strengthening his stance! 😎

One of the greatest mollywops in history

I fucking love film analysis and psychology breakdowns of movies!

This is a stupid movie for stupid people at the end of the day

Well...i don't, but i always remember Braveheart battle fight and gladiator 1 diamond fight

The choreography in this film was awesome.

This is the peak of the film... This is it. And Jesse was the on the spot replacement because the original guy quit, or couldn't make it, whatever... AND, its only terrifying because these idiots STUMBLED upon him by fucking off in the first place... If they had any type of situational awareness and common sense, they'd avoid situations like this... Entirely... And this instant is one of MANY instances in which they're "caught up" in some drama, and just happen to walk away due to some serious plot armor... Except the end, because "Tragic" D:. Fucking waah.

Hector had no honor. He lost it all when he backed his brother's bs that got thousands killed. He wasn't in the right. He was too prideful to let his brother face justice.

No shakey cam!

Another subtle piece of character design I love that's not mentioned in this video is the fact that if you look at his hands, his knuckles are severely bruised and are caked with dried blood.

All that happened because his brother Perseus couldn't keep it in his pants and likes to sleep with other men's women

Great breakdown.

Love the analysis.

Also a brilliant soundtrack for the fight scene which the director's cut absolutely butchered with the overly dramatic strings replacing the primal drums

I remember when this movie came out, it was basically laughed at and not taken seriously. After a few decades, this movie is actually great and definitely re-watchable.

Anyone know where i can find a video about Pitt's training and choreography from this film? All that's talked about is his diet and exercise. And great video btw!

Achiles was just a self centered bloodthirsty warlord, whose thrill was the fight itself, hence his need to want to fight Hector to avenge the death of some one who voluntarily chose to go into the battlefield where death was one of the outcomes. Achiles had no reason to feel resentful toward Hector for doing his job as a warrior (slay his enemies and live another day), whereas Patrocolus failed as a warrior (dying). There was no need to humiliate Hector's dead body. A real "dick" move on his part. But fate/karma/casuality took care of Achiles and had him die is the most humiliating way - from a sissy ass arrow, not on the battlefield by a great warrior as hector's fate was.

It's vice versa. Don't apply modern concepts to ancient times. It does not work. Warriors reclaiming the honor of a fallen brother isn't even new. It occurs even today lol

I don’t remember the fight though was it after Paul v Tyson?

This movie was so epic and moving to me (even spiritually), that I saw it over 12 times in the theater! (Only Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon grabbed me as much)!!

I always felt that Hector was weakened in the fight by the guilt that he felt for killing patroclus, Achilles cousin who was only a child who pretended to be Achilles to face off against hector. There may have been a chance for victory for ha if his heart was in the fight. Now I believe that Achilles was a better warrior, he seems to be portrayed as such in the film. But you can defeat someone in battle who is better than you, everyone is capable for a moment of being 110 or 120 or 150% of what they are

God, that shot of Hector removing his helmet will always piss me off. Such a high budget film and they can't give a main character an actual metal helmet for a closeup shot of him removing it during his climactic appearance in the film. The fucking helmet flexes so blatantly, like the rubber it clearly is, and it drives me insane. It's one thing to have hilariously obvious rubber armor in Sci-fi miniseries or Star Trek type low budget TV stuff, but here? You couldn't find room in the budget for ONE metal helmet? FOH

You could hear a pin drop in the theater during this scene... Very tense

They would need a new bathtub after that

Brilliant video. How have you only got 640 views on it????

this movie sucks so much.

5:00 I've always viewed this scene as Achilles showing that he's the better of the two fighters! Purposely handicapping himself by not actually using the shield even though Hector is. I'd thought it fit with what we're shown of his braggart/glory hungry personality. Though I do really like your interpretation of Achilles realizing he needs to fight smarter against such a strong opponent 😊

My dad would joke that Achilles was going to be out of stamina for the fight because he was outside the gate yelling “HECTOR!!!” for too long 😂

The heck, man, your videos are just great! Keep up the great work. This makes me relive the old, great epic movies we used to watch on the cassette player. I miss the good old movies that are no longer being produced for reasons we all already know.

Excellent video as always. I always saw it as Duty vs Glory with Hector and Achillies. It's one of my favorite movie fights of all time. Impeccable coreography and very well-shot.

Thanks for the insights! Its scenes like these that show why this movie is still watched and remembered. Very well made video, very insightful, and the point made about shaky cam is pretty crisp. Its a shame that this movie was made during the early 00's era of edglelord film critics that hated things like the prequels, van helsing, and you know, FUN. I'm still waiting for nay-sayers to point me to the Iliad film thats anywhere near as comprehensive or good as this. But sure, films be having flaws, i guess.

Great analysis. I like this movie but it's failure is it's more glossy than gritty.

First comment! My first ever! Thanks for this video

You missed the most important part. When Smiley slouches down to talk to Jake in the hallway

Tigers not lions

This guy is the English teacher of movie reviewers. What a load of malarkey.

Surprisingly awesome... earned a sub

I also noticed the key use of silence in The Fellowship of the Ring, specifically when the hobbits encounter a ringwraith for the first time on the road, and when Lurtz approaches Boromir and starts drawing his bow at him.

I thought some parts of the tiger scene made no sense. The tigers mostly don't seem real and at times are sitting around like kitties

One of the few modern films completed in scale and saga to join classics like Ben Hur, with upgraded special effects. The story is a masterpiece, good vs evil, oppressor vs oppressed, and Russel Crowe and the cast were a perfect mix, directed impeccably, bringing it to life. Films like this are a rarity and it deserved every academy award and nomination it received.

I imagine this video takes a long time to put together, process the thoughts, edit it into this medium. That being said, I'd watch many more like this, so get on it!

I love that you keep saying "push in"

Had me on the seats edge. You could hear a pin drop in the theatre.lol

What blows my mind most is that, Hectro is not actually Hector but Moreno.... Like that is biggest plot twist in human history.

My favorite scene in Boogie Nights is the final track when Burt Reynolds walks through his home where he has collected all these human losers into a family, and we see William Macy's portrait on the wall. Macy is the apex actor, typecast as all these wimpy losers but then he absolutely proton bombs the typecasting in 'Shameless.'
