Short filmTranscript
00:00If you go to Troy, glory will be yours.
00:08They will write stories about your victories for thousands of years.
00:12The world will remember your name.
00:16But if you go to Troy, you will never come home.
00:23For your glory walks hand in hand with your doom.
00:30And I shall never see you again.
00:32Achilles!
00:35Greece needs you.
00:37Greece got along fine before I was born.
00:39And Greece will be Greece long after I'm dead.
00:41I'm not talking about the land.
00:43The men need you.
00:45This war will never be forgotten.
00:47Nor will the heroes who fight in it.
00:50You were born for this war.
00:52You are very brave but very stupid to come after me alone.
00:55The Thessalonian you're fighting, he's the biggest man I've ever seen.
01:00You must be Hector.
01:01I wouldn't want to fight him.
01:02That's why no one will remember your name.
01:04Do you know who I am?
01:05Achilles.
01:06I'll remember the name.
01:08What do you want here in Troy?
01:10Why did you come here?
01:12They'll be talking about this war for a thousand years.
01:14What would all men want?
01:16They just wanted more.
01:18In a thousand years, the dust from our bones will be gone.
01:21Yes, Prince.
01:23But our names will remain.
01:25Patroclus!
01:26Never hesitate.
01:27Put down your spear.
01:30But I'm fighting the Trojans, cousin.
01:31Not today.
01:33But I'm ready. You taught me how to fight.
01:35You're a good student.
01:37Prince Hector, he's good a warrior, as they say.
01:39The best of all the Trojans.
01:41But you're not a Myrmidon yet.
01:44Where's Patroclus?
01:45Some say he's better than all the Greeks, too.
01:48Patroclus!
01:49Go home, Prince.
01:51Not for one day.
01:52Drink some wine, make love to your wife.
01:54Tomorrow we'll have our war.
01:56Hector!
01:58I'd rather fight beside you than any army of thousands.
02:02Let no man forget how menacing we are.
02:04We are lions!
02:06I'll make a pact with you.
02:08The gods as our witnesses.
02:10Let us pledge that the winner will allow the loser all the proper funeral rituals.
02:14Is there no one else?
02:16There are no paths between lions and men.
02:18Is there no one else?
02:20You won't have eyes tonight. You won't have ears or a tongue.
02:22You will wander the underworld blind, deaf and dumb, and all the dead will know.
02:27This is Hector.
02:28The fool who thought he killed the killers.
02:36I've known men like you my whole life.
02:38No, you haven't.
02:41You think you're so different from a thousand others?
02:45I'll just understand nothing but war.
02:51Get up, Prince of Troy.
02:53Or let a stone take my glory.
02:57Why did you choose this life?
03:02What life?
03:06You're a great warrior.
03:13I chose nothing.
03:16I was born and this is what I am.
03:20Do it.
03:22Aren't you afraid?
03:25Everyone dies.
03:28You'll kill more men if I don't kill you.
03:30How many cousins have you killed?
03:32Many.
03:34How many sons and fathers and brothers and husbands?
03:38How many brave Achilles?
03:41At night I see their faces.
03:43All the men I've killed.
03:45They're waiting for me.
03:47They say welcome, brother.
03:50We'll meet again soon, my brother.
03:55Stop!
03:56Mighty Achilles,
03:58silenced by a slave girl.
04:02Am I still your captain?
04:04You're my guest.
04:06And Troy guests can leave whenever they want?
04:08We should leave now.
04:10Theseus!
04:11Did you leave this all behind?
04:13Rouse the men, you're taking them home.
04:15Aren't you coming with us?
04:17I have my own battle to fight.
04:19No!
04:22The gods envy us.
04:25They envy us because we're mortal.
04:29Because any moment might be our last.
04:33Everything's more beautiful
04:35because we're doomed.
04:37If you stay in Larissa,
04:39you will find peace.
04:41You gave me peace.
04:43You'll find a wonderful woman.
04:45In a lifetime of war.
04:47You will never be lovelier than you are now.
04:50We will never be here again.
04:55Men rise and fall like the winter wheat.
04:59But these names will never die.
05:03Let them say I lived in the time of Hector.
05:08Tamer of Horses.
05:12Let them say
05:14I lived
05:16in the time
05:18of Achilles.
05:24you
