The dialogue is epic: Hector: "You speak of war as if it's a game, but how many wives wait at the gates of Troy for husbands they will never see again?" Achilles: "Perhaps your brother can comfort them, I hear he's good at charming other men's wives" Hector's reaction: "Man's got a point"
8:20 “There are no pacts between lions and men…” The way Achilles inches forward from the shadows to reveal his face perfectly resembles a lion stalking its prey. Makes me think of that quote lol
"Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector. Let them say I lived in the time of Achilles." -- Odysseus, king of Ithaca
Only a few names remain. The rest are forgotten, lost, like tears in rain. And eventually, even the name we remember today will be forgotten. Only oblivion is eternal.
Achilles’ essentially solo assault on the temple is one of the best fight choreography scenes I’ve ever seen! This movie knew how to make a straight up badass display of Achilles’ legendary skills. They were able to show that while Hector was a top tier warrior, Achilles was essentially a demigod of battle. And incidentally, as a fencer, that move where he sweeps his blade up to knock his opponent’s sword off line before spinning it down to cut the guy’s throat actually works! We used to have a fun day when I was a collegiate fencer, where we’d have “battles” like this in a six v six teams. That poetic flow of blade work is actually extremely effective with a saber!
@@adarsh5035 around 4:44 he beats the first opponent’s spear off line and ripostes with a slash, and then the second combo actually works (if you’re using super light saber anyway, lol) where he blocks an attack and basically in the same movement sweeps his blade down in a slash. Edit: I said sword in the original post, but they're spears in the combo. Achilles is the one with the sword lol.
My sister studied greek classics in college and had a professor who loved this movie. He said it wasn't without its problems of course, but the way they choreographed Achilles's movements in battle is a near perfect match to how he is described in the tales. He is a lion among men. What an incredible compliment from someone who studied mythology deeply for many years.
I never noticed this, but during the whole Achilles and Hector dialog, Achilles was talking about himself and the glory of war,... while Hector was talking about everybody else and the result of war.
Well, the entire point of the story is that Hector is a great guy but still a normal guy, while Achilles is immortal and invincible but a total asshole. The theme of the Iliad is the arc of his tantrum.
@@bryangan2224 Achilles was raised this way, while Hector was a married man, father, older brother and the successor of the throne, of course, he was completely different from Achilles's mentality. Achilles was a cat walking on his own (the film shows that perfectly)
This is one of my favorite movies. It can't be top 5 because of the ending though. For that PoS Paris to end it was just too frustrating. I disliked Paris so much that I couldn't like that actor Bloom in any other movie.
i don’t think people realize how great this scene is. starting off with defending the arrows while putting the shield on his back, then single handling taking on like 20 guys just by himself while on SAND and the the amount of weight on him too. this scene is a master piece
The shield on his back just in time to catch the arrow emphasized his destiny and how he is said to die. Not by an arrow to the back, but one to the ankle.
Apparently this is one of the scene that proves there are no gods in this film. Achilles cut off the head of Apollo's statue and nothing happens. When Achilles and Briseis talks for the first time about gods, while Achilles ask Briseis where is so called sun god when his priests were butchered and his priestess has become his slave, Briseis can't argue Achilles other than being angry. King Priam is deeply religious and only listens to his priests more so than his son Hector's better tactical and strategic judgment which led to Troy's downfall.
@@garammaru3272 There are definitely Gods... why else would Achilles die from getting shot in the heel? It was the part of him that was mortal since Thetis was holding him by them when dipping him in the river of immortality. Apollo knows this and orchestrated it so he had the most embarrassing death possible.
I understand why he would take that personally. First he's being called a Sun God and then his temple is looted.. Insulted twice!. and for those interested, Apollo did not inherit Helios domain until way later in history, when the romans tried to "clean up" all the gods they decided to inherit.. In both the Iliad and The Odyssey Helios is still the sun god.. But unfortunately it seems like most americans mix up roman and greek gods
The spear-throws of Achilles and Hector were such an amazing idea to hammer home the difference in their level an hour+ before they even actually fight. Achilles throw not even having an arch, just a straight laser hitting a moving rider further away than anyone though was possible, while Hectors throw, still being a great one, is curved, slow and easily dodged by Achilles, even on a much closer range.
@@ottokarl5427 I agree, the way the battle should have gone should be removing ther armor and then they both kiss and make out, in the middle of battlin. would that be a sight right
@@joeyspock2330 Yeah. And something tells me he hated the role because of that slight ruptured Achilles tendon incident. That hurts like hell. He endured some serious pain for that one. And pain is no fun!!
You just don't see films like this anymore. In 2000 we got Gladiator, in 2004 we got Troy and Alexander and in 2006 we got 300. We were spoiled in the 2000's.
I know Classical Greek and when I read Homer, I think of this movie. In Iliad, Achilles' epithet is "swift-footed Achilles", suggesting his swift and athletic movements. Achilles's fight style in this film is very well designed. It's something you've never seen before in the history of cinema, and it incorporates Greek athleticism with martial arts. Pure classics.
"The man wants to die" is my favorite line because it is reiterated throughout history. Soldiers in the revolution wrote about Alexander Hamilton as if he had total disregard for his own life. Some men will take the gamble to either die or be remembered forever.
@@DaeLh I have seen both of them ( you didn't mention Legends Of The Fall). I have seen ALL Brad Pitt movies. MY favourite of the lot are Troy and Meet Joe Black.
The moment hector witnessed a spear's flight path that was too perfect with terrifying speed and distance, but he still did not flinch, that proved hector was a great warrior, a warrior for his country and family.
Hector was driven by honor. His undoing, was dishonorably interrupting his brothers fight. Achilles was driven by ego, his undoing was love and a purpose beyond fighting and war. The point of the story is to be strict in your morals. A slip up will cost you
Mine was when the king of Troy picked up his son dead body from Achilles, by come by himself at the night. His line is really great, even can change the thoughts of Achilles.
@@Kncperseus No. They had a different belief system than we do now. He absolutely believed in immortality. And that means he didn't lie. We remember him today. Who will remember us 3,000 years from now?
Imagine hearing Achilles give that epic speech, making you feel like you're about to seize everything you ever wanted thru battle...you slam your spear and chant along with the rest of your brothers-in-arms...you feel the boat hit the beach and you jump off the side into the surf, ready to take your glory by the horns... ....only to catch and arrow to the eye.
The technical making of this movie amazes me in the cast of hundreds and period settings. The CGI is quite good. And Dianne Krueger is easy to look at.
5:26 In this movie, not only the characteristic move of Achilles, where he runs and stabs near the neck, but also the move where he kills Hector (holding weapons in both hands, spinning twice, and throwing one weapon at the opponent) appeared here first. The attention to detail is remarkable.
At 4:57, there's a perfectly-timed use of slow motion. Achilles is attacking, blocking and dodging with incredible precision, keeping you on edge as you wonder how long he can sustain it. That sequence peaks with a flawless execution of his signature move - only this moment is in slow motion, making it feel like you're holding your breath to see if he can pull it off. So much better than the overuse of slow motion and speed ramps in "300".

Even though Brad Pitt claims he was "forced" to star in Troy, he still gave an incredible performance. To this day, I still think he should've won an Oscar for it.
I believe the goddess Hera manipulated many for this war for it to happen. Now if we take out the gods alone, yes a single woman many thousands died. That’s a retrospective look at it. I guess they knew the Greeks would come for them but they disregarded that. Also like the story of Atlantis it tells another story as well. This one asks is love or lust worth the consequences it may entail or even is it possible when such in love, can you even resist? The story reflects upon us and how we might act if in their shoes.
''they just 50v1000 our entire shit in open field without the height or land advantage.. one dude gets absolutely sniped for yards away with a spear. yeah. lets go 49vs50 in close quarters where they're hiding and have the advantage'' thats top notch stategy right here XD
I feel like gladiator is more like a dramatic masterpiece. This movie feels more like a filmmaking wonder (the setpieces, producing and direction, the fight scenes are amazing)
Achilles joined the Greek fleet late, yet so skilled and strong were the Myrmidon oarsmen that they outpaced all the other ships to be the first to make landfall. By legend, the Myrmidons are ants-made-men by Zeus. This is why they were so feared - their industrious discipline was inhumane.
I fucking love hiw this movie depicts Achilles. Theres nothing supernatural natural about him. Just a peak warrior so capable and efficient others think hes a god damn demigod
6:09 "Apollo sees everything. Perhaps...perhaps it's not wise to offend him." *Achilles cuts Apollo's head off* Like he was saying "If he's offended, let the god fight me himself."
Tactical mistake, in this movie universe we know the gods are real and so does Achilles, if i remember correctly there's a scene where Achilles talks to his goddess mother. So he kind of had a weird death wish to go against Apollo.
Well in the Iliad, Apollo himself orchestrated the death of Achilles. He made Paris a sharpshooter so that he will surely hit the weakness of Achilles, his heel.
It's been said before but the way they handle Achilles' 'invincibility' is really interesting. The viewer is left to guess - can't he be injured? Or is he just never getting hit? Interesting creative choice to sidestep invincibility altogether by just making him a vastly superior and very cautious fighter.
In the movie it is implied the legend about him being immortal and only being able to be killed through his ankle started because he was able to take off all the arrows that Paris shot at him but the only one that remained was the one he had in his heel.
“In a thousand years the dust from our bodies will be gone” “Yes prince, but our names will remain” I think the story being told to us is exactly what he meant.
I don't think he had contempt for him at that moment, he seemed to respect him but condescension of course because he knew Hector was not on his level.
The portrayal of a higher level of thinking of Achilles was a true hallmark of his warrior truth. His physical stance & excellent field of vision for fighting supported his forward thinking and warrior skills; he accomplished much action in one fell swoop as well. An excellent warrior.🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Compared to Brave Heart and Gladiator this film wasn't seen as amazing, but fast forward 20 years and when crap like Gladiator II comes out and this film is bloody spectacularly, aged super well
The movie Troy is one of the most successful movies in the world with the strong performance of Brad Pitt. I have watched this movie and selected sequences more than 50 times and I never get tired of watching it.
This was my main movie when I was in the Army. I know every single line in this movie. I would watch it constantly when I stayed in the barracks. Got out in 2006. This movie was still kinda new back then.
Has it been 20 years already? Damn... I was thinking of the old classics from the 1940s-60s back then when watching it and now it's becoming one itself. Time flies.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Even more than gladiator. It has to be interesting. As an actor you want to always continue to do great things... But occasionally you're going to be in a movie that is your masterwork. This was just well done.
There was always a great respect between Hector and Achilles I wished they teamed up and saw the truth agamemnon was the true enemy not even troy king Priam he was a good man as well
Héctor- “I live by one simple code honor the Gods, love your woman defend your country. Troy is mother to us all!! Fight for her Achilles- my brothers of the sword I rather fight with than you then any other armies. You know what’s beyond that beach, IMMORTALITY!! It’s yours take it!! Idk which I prefer but it’s all hype!!
If you listen to the sword swinging sounds when Achilles fights like at 5:09 , you’ll hear his blade sounds different than the others, more sleek, sounding even reversed at times, futuristic, precise, musical, he’s a God of war!
Archilles, “Too early in the day for killing princes.” This sums up his sentiments about war. He was born and didn’t choose to be what he is, but decided if he was to be such a man, than there should be no man his equal and no legend as luminary as his achievements. War would have ached any other way, if he didn’t give it his own aesthetic justification. The blood and the burials too much. Life can be that way. God rest
Man are haunted by the vastness of eternity and so we ask ourselves will our actions echo across centuries, will strangers hear our name and wonder who we were - Odyssey
It's pretty wild back in those days you took your army somewhere. Conquered them. Then basically said you fight with us now unless they were already allies. That's a very interesting time to read about
Not necessarily. It was a pre-arranged agreement of honor - back in those days, people believed in oaths taken before gods to be sacred, so the two rulers would usually swear an oath before battle to be subordinate to the other if they lost. Any ruler who refused such a sacred vow would risk having his lands burned to the grounds and his fields salted in the event of defeat. It was actually sensible - the locals of a conquered land are less likely to rebel if you appoint one of their own to govern them than someone foreign who is unaccustomed to their ways. The conquered land would be called a satrapy, and the erstwhile free ruler called a satrap (viceroy). To prevent any chance of him rebelling in the future, the victorious king would take hostages - usually the defeated one's children - or forge some kind of a marital relation, like betrothing the defeated's daughter to the winner's son.
Doesnt help when the enemy has god mode enable (aka plot armor) and they just wont die. Even in fiction, Aquilles and his squad should have died two times before Hector even arrived
"Why kill you now Prince of Troy? With no one here to see you fall?" He didn't spare Hector out of mercy. He was waiting for an opportunity to battle him in front of spectators. The irony is, he got what he wanted, but under regrettable circumstances.
Achilles isa demigod. But Hector, while merely mortal, is thegreatest mortal warrior of his generation. Achilles recognizes this. He knows he is superiorto Hector yet showshim some respect!
“They’ll be talking about this war for a thousand years”

That’s a retrospective look at it. I guess they knew the Greeks would come for them but they disregarded that.
Also like the story of Atlantis it tells another story as well. This one asks is love or lust worth the consequences it may entail or even is it possible when such in love, can you even resist?
The story reflects upon us and how we might act if in their shoes.
actually, it was the greed of a king
She was a great excuse to start a war.
This war was about geopolitical control. Was never about Hellen my friend.
Can never get tired of this part 4:40 the choreography is just perfect
''they just 50v1000 our entire shit in open field without the height or land advantage.. one dude gets absolutely sniped for yards away with a spear.
yeah. lets go 49vs50 in close quarters where they're hiding and have the advantage''
thats top notch stategy right here XD
That's what I love about modern army!
Hector: Fight me!
Achilles: Why kill you now, Prince of Troy, with no one here to see you fall?!
But the truth is they share each other bum and spit on that thing
It's true his antorage would have said he died from natural causes
I will never understand how people don’t think this one of the greatest films ever made. Let alone better than gladiator
@user-lz5vh9bb5wthey don't need comparison...two totally different stories.
And i dont know why people compare !!
Both are good films.
As a 90s kid i don't think there's a wrong choice between the two. I would choose gladiator
It’s the greatest not accurate Iliad but love it
I feel like gladiator is more like a dramatic masterpiece. This movie feels more like a filmmaking wonder (the setpieces, producing and direction, the fight scenes are amazing)
01:10 ...Chicken it's YOURS!!! 🤣
It sounds like he said To HAHAHAHA
Chicken = BRISEIS
Letsgo with your chicken
😂😂
Now itching to photoshop that shrine into a KFC.
we need more films of this calibre - especially for ancient historical war films.
I know right. They don’t make movies like these anymore
@@kobinakwansahammond5770They are expensive to make though. Also, not all epics can do remarkably like Titanic.
This isn’t history man
They had their time.
More with practical effects
One of my favorite movies. Never got tired watching over & over again.
Achilles joined the Greek fleet late, yet so skilled and strong were the Myrmidon oarsmen that they outpaced all the other ships to be the first to make landfall.
By legend, the Myrmidons are ants-made-men by Zeus. This is why they were so feared - their industrious discipline was inhumane.
I fucking love hiw this movie depicts Achilles. Theres nothing supernatural natural about him. Just a peak warrior so capable and efficient others think hes a god damn demigod
The main reason why they're at war is because Achilles wanted Hector's willy bum bum
6:09
"Apollo sees everything. Perhaps...perhaps it's not wise to offend him."
*Achilles cuts Apollo's head off*
Like he was saying "If he's offended, let the god fight me himself."
Tactical mistake, in this movie universe we know the gods are real and so does Achilles, if i remember correctly there's a scene where Achilles talks to his goddess mother. So he kind of had a weird death wish to go against Apollo.
Well in the Iliad, Apollo himself orchestrated the death of Achilles. He made Paris a sharpshooter so that he will surely hit the weakness of Achilles, his heel.
@@pinecactus9672Achilles knew after he killed Hector and was visited by his father
It's been said before but the way they handle Achilles' 'invincibility' is really interesting. The viewer is left to guess - can't he be injured? Or is he just never getting hit? Interesting creative choice to sidestep invincibility altogether by just making him a vastly superior and very cautious fighter.
In the movie it is implied the legend about him being immortal and only being able to be killed through his ankle started because he was able to take off all the arrows that Paris shot at him but the only one that remained was the one he had in his heel.
"I wouldn't bother with a shield wouldn't I?" I always love that line.
There's no guessing. If he was truly invulnerable, Achilles wouldn't be worried about evading the blows and strikes.
achilles just was a lucky man like all ww2 veterans some men died too but in the very end of the war
@@Kncperseus any good fighter would do that out of principle and he's the best of them all
“In a thousand years the dust from our bodies will be gone”
“Yes prince, but our names will remain”
I think the story being told to us is exactly what he meant.
09:35 "perhaps your brother can comfort then. I hear he's good at charming other men's wives" Ouch !🤣🤣🤣
2:00 looks like a lot of MORTALITY was on the beach waiting for them. Most were dropped at the edge of the beach.
u dont know if they died, mabye they just went afk
Seemed that way, but in this movie they regrouped under the command to form up and proceeded to decimate their opposition even before ajax landed
Immortality is a figure of speech in this context. Meaning whether they fall or not in this battle they will be remembered forever fir their bravery
I always loved Achilles’ battle speech. 👍👊💪
"10:26" best part of the movie.
Thank you for shooting me with a fire arrow. Cauterizes the wound on the spot. Helps to stymie infection. Very thoughtful of you.

Bruhh, I always think about that dude, like he probably just woke up 💀💀💀💀🤦🏾♂️
@@Adelina-293 Extraordinarily underrated comment. 11/10
@@BravoJr1987Well he went right back to sleep
"Tssh!". Dismissing his enemy like a dog encapsulates his contempt and condescension towards Hector.
I don't think he had contempt for him at that moment, he seemed to respect him but condescension of course because he knew Hector was not on his level.
The portrayal of a higher level of thinking of Achilles was a true hallmark of his warrior truth. His physical stance & excellent field of vision for fighting supported his forward thinking and warrior skills; he accomplished much action in one fell swoop as well. An excellent warrior.🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
9:27 very good writting. You dont get that in todays movies.
Those words are ones that stick with you. And movies back then showed us how to have grand comebacks.
9:35 legendary comeback
That spear throw was like lightning struck the earth. "An impossible throw"
This was my favorite Brad Pitt movie of all time 💥
Thank you for the OG soundtrack.
Compared to Brave Heart and Gladiator this film wasn't seen as amazing, but fast forward 20 years and when crap like Gladiator II comes out and this film is bloody spectacularly, aged super well
The movie Troy is one of the most successful movies in the world with the strong performance of Brad Pitt. I have watched this movie and selected sequences more than 50 times and I never get tired of watching it.
This film is a real timeless masterpiece! I'm forever grateful for watching this film! 🙏
This was my main movie when I was in the Army. I know every single line in this movie. I would watch it constantly when I stayed in the barracks. Got out in 2006. This movie was still kinda new back then.
2004
One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.... The dialogues are very beautiful and everything is great
I wish I was able to have watched Troy in theaters!
It was fucking amazing dude. That is all I can say. I saw Troy, The Last Samurai and The Punisher at the same place when I lived in Phoenix.
@@Rockyinlp Your lucky my friend. I was born in 1994 and saw in the 2000's, the LOTR trilogy, King Arthur and 300.
What a cinematic masterpiece...
I still remember the days where me and Achilles fought side by side
As through a glass and darkly, the age-long strife I see, where I fought in many guises, many names, but always me.
I did too, until achilles separated from heel and I had to go get fixed.
@@getonwithit.2847 is that you Darcius?
aight mate, is that u Adonis?
Patroclus you're GAY!!!
Has it been 20 years already? Damn... I was thinking of the old classics from the 1940s-60s back then when watching it and now it's becoming one itself. Time flies.
"He wants to take the Beach alone!"
Achilles after 5 Minutes: "What Beach? This is mine now!"
This is my favorite movie of all time. Even more than gladiator. It has to be interesting. As an actor you want to always continue to do great things... But occasionally you're going to be in a movie that is your masterwork. This was just well done.
Hector was a great man.
There was always a great respect between Hector and Achilles I wished they teamed up and saw the truth agamemnon was the true enemy not even troy king Priam he was a good man as well
Homer actually gives to Hector the last lines of the Iliad: Thus was the funeral of Hector, breaker of horses.
Èshte shpejt te vrases nje princ❤❤
"Taton with me!"
Taton: Aww mann...
6:56 I can understand his complain
It's actually Teuton. In Greek it's called Tefton.
الفيلم هذا من الطفولة وانا احبه ما انسى يوم اقعد بالليل لحالي واتابعه على التلفزيون او الجوال❤.
Héctor- “I live by one simple code honor the Gods, love your woman defend your country. Troy is mother to us all!! Fight for her
Achilles- my brothers of the sword I rather fight with than you then any other armies. You know what’s beyond that beach, IMMORTALITY!! It’s yours take it!!
Idk which I prefer but it’s all hype!!
I love this battle. Sadly not many studios wants to do movies from ancient history. So much great stories.
If you listen to the sword swinging sounds when Achilles fights like at 5:09 , you’ll hear his blade sounds different than the others, more sleek, sounding even reversed at times, futuristic, precise, musical, he’s a God of war!
Thank for that, would never have heard that unique sound otherwise!
Archilles, “Too early in the day for killing princes.” This sums up his sentiments about war. He was born and didn’t choose to be what he is, but decided if he was to be such a man, than there should be no man his equal and no legend as luminary as his achievements. War would have ached any other way, if he didn’t give it his own aesthetic justification. The blood and the burials too much.
Life can be that way.
God rest
Fun fact
Apollo sent arrows down on the beach after Achilles angered him
Man are haunted by the vastness of eternity and so we ask ourselves will our actions echo across centuries, will strangers hear our name and wonder who we were - Odyssey
Makes sense why I always thought Brad looked mad in this movie lol he actually hated playing this role
It's pretty wild back in those days you took your army somewhere. Conquered them. Then basically said you fight with us now unless they were already allies. That's a very interesting time to read about
Not necessarily. It was a pre-arranged agreement of honor - back in those days, people believed in oaths taken before gods to be sacred, so the two rulers would usually swear an oath before battle to be subordinate to the other if they lost. Any ruler who refused such a sacred vow would risk having his lands burned to the grounds and his fields salted in the event of defeat.
It was actually sensible - the locals of a conquered land are less likely to rebel if you appoint one of their own to govern them than someone foreign who is unaccustomed to their ways. The conquered land would be called a satrapy, and the erstwhile free ruler called a satrap (viceroy). To prevent any chance of him rebelling in the future, the victorious king would take hostages - usually the defeated one's children - or forge some kind of a marital relation, like betrothing the defeated's daughter to the winner's son.
Myrmidons: ancient Greece's equivalent to the Navy Seals.
Pretty much. Maybe even Devgru specifically. Ajax and Co are probably garden variety seals.
Myrmidons are tougher
Myrmidons are the marine raiders of that rime
The amount of aura to literally tell homie, why kill you where no could see it. After that im leaving him alone lmaooo
If the Trojans wanted to perform the worst defense of all time, then mission accomplished
Doesnt help when the enemy has god mode enable (aka plot armor) and they just wont die.
Even in fiction, Aquilles and his squad should have died two times before Hector even arrived
"Why kill you now Prince of Troy? With no one here to see you fall?"
He didn't spare Hector out of mercy. He was waiting for an opportunity to battle him in front of spectators. The irony is, he got what he wanted, but under regrettable circumstances.
D-day in Troy😅
Omaha Beach: Troy sector.
BEST MOVIE FOR EVER AND EVER HD OF HD TILL ETERNITY !!
I like it this way old school real people not much cgi you know it's real when there's a passenger plane flying by
But Hector's courage is admired, he knew that going inside the temple is a trap but he went in order to save priests
That makes him an idiot that got all his men killed
Achilles Greatest warrior Ever 🙌🏽
Imagine hearing a whole army calling your name!!
アメリカにいたから、字幕無しでわかる、ホンマに胸のすかっとする映画です。
This has to be the greatest movie scene of all time
4:05 that one guy that doesnt care 😂😂
Well, he is Sabretooth, what did you expect?
His name is ajax
5:50 Sacking the temple of the god of Archery. What could go wrong?)
4:50 is so good, he moves like he’s reading between the lines
5:16, this guy with spear looks standing there waiting for brad pitt to turn around to stab him😂
Omg😂 hahaha
Lol I just noticed 😂😂😂
Achilles isa demigod. But Hector, while merely mortal, is thegreatest mortal warrior of his generation. Achilles recognizes this. He knows he is superiorto Hector yet showshim some respect!
“It’s to early in the day for killing princess” cold 🥶
Let us also admire the music. It's heroic and tense when it needs to
