So was the tendon on his heel really the only way he could be defeated?
Or was he just extremely skilled and the people just made up stories that he was invincible.

Did you even watch the movie?
He already confirmed he was mortal in the first 5 mins of the movie and then his mother reaffirmed it before he went to Troy.
>>70971673
He was just really good at ending lives
if he was extremely skilled how would someone manage to cut him at all?
>>70971673
How uneducated are you?

This, the 04 adaptation is a great war drama, but it completely negates the mythology and takes place in reality. It is very, very good if you view it without expecting the mythology and go in with an open mind. I really enjoy the characters in it. I think Pitt does a good job with the role. Under rated movie.
In mythology he was immortal. His mom dumped him in a weird magical river, but his achilles tendon was the only part that didn't get dipped in because she had to hold him and pull him out from the bottom of his foot.
I think it kind of defeats the purpose of having a small weird weakness if he's just a normal, but extremely skilled guy

The mythology is good but Normies would have been like why didn't the Gods just end the war lel.
The mythology showed we are just their play things used and discarded like toys on their whims.

Troy is about the characters, not the gods. It is about the honor of the age. That is what makes it good. It is good for the same reasons that Ridley Scotts The Duelists is good.

Hire the best personal trainer and nutritionist that money can buy and do what they tell you.
Also pharmaceutical grade steroids.

In myth she held him by his heel and it was his heel that was his week spot.
The term "Achilles tendon" is a much more modern term, obviously named for the myth.
The fact that Achilles was invincible except for his heel wasn't part of the original myth. It was tacked on later. In the movie and in the Iliad he was just a really god warrior.

>So was the tendon on his heel really the only way he could be defeated?
no
>Or was he just extremely skilled and the people just made up stories that he was invincible.
yes
>>70971673
No it was just a story constructed around the way he died to explain it.
In direct combat he was unbeatable.

>It is very, very good if you view it without expecting the mythology
well other than brad phoning it in, bana being pretty wooden and bloom beinghimself.
I suppose the irony wasnt lost in spite of the bad acting
>>70971786
according to legend he got hit by an arrow shot by Paris with a tip that had been smeared in feces which caused him to get sick and die, to the greeks this form of warfare was considered extremely cowardly
its also worth noting that the iliad doesn't have anything about him being invincible, doesn't have anything about his death, and was also just a legend Homer wrote so he could travel around the country telling one of his two stories in return for food and a place to stay for a week while he told it.

Brad did a good job being an arrogant fuck. He nailed the character.
