I reviewed the movie Troy (theater version), directed and produced by Wolfgang Peterson from January 19-22, 2008. The film is about the Trojan War, as described in Homer’s Iliad and other Greek myths. The Trojan War was considered the most critical event in the early history of ancient Greece.

Achilles was a great Greek warrior filled with a destructive rage that made him the most feared man of his time. He became romantically involved with Briseis. I believe she somewhat influenced his change of heart, she had a way of quelling his rage. Her many conversations with Achilles regarding the tragic losses suffered during war helped to soften his heart and seemed to curb his rage. It was during this time that his anger began to waver at times during the Trojan War until his cousin, Patroclus was killed by Prince Hector. His uncontrollable rage momentarily returned as he planned to kill Prince Hector but I think in the back of his mind he knew his death was imminent. He knew this because prior to the battle, Thetis, Achilles mother advised him that he would become famous but would die in the Trojan War. I believe knowing this also influenced his state of mind.
