Troy

Had to rewatch Troy before The Odyssey for a fresher perspective on the characters. Odysseus..a king bound by duty to fight in the Trojan War alongside the rest of Greece. Achilles..a warrior driven by courage and the pursuit of an everlasting legacy, fighting under no banner but his own. Watching it without any bias, though, it honestly feels like the Trojans were wronged by Agamemnon and, to an extent, Odysseus. Hector died fighting Achilles. Menelaus died fighting Hector. There was no real need for Odysseus to burn down the entire city, imo I know that, in the poem, the priest warned everyone against bringing the "gift" into the city and was later killed by the gods. Priam was foolish enough to see that as divine punishment instead of taking it as a warning and burning the horse. He should've listened to Paris (my man wasn't much of a fighter, but he had at least a little common sense.) Anyways, I'm hoping Nolan's adaptation won't be too biased toward the victors... although the title The Odyssey already gives me my answer.
