What happened to a true hero

Revisiting "Troy", what impressed me was not Helen's beauty, Paris's infatuation, nor the grandeur of the war between Troy and Sparta, but Hector, the King of Troy, inevitably And Achilles.
Hector, a taciturn man, a man who loves his family steadily, for his brother’s love, he tolerated his brother’s mistakes, and the beautiful Helen who was overwhelmed by the country and brought disaster to Troy. . He loves his brother, how deep and heavy this love is, even his beloved wife and newborn child with big eyes cannot match this love. When he killed Achilles' cousin by mistake, he knew very well that he was going to die soon. Under his wife's bitter pleading, he still chose to challenge Achilles in the ignorant eyes of an unfamiliar child. In fact, if he was a bit meaner, just a little bit, he would be able to let the Trojan soldiers on the tower easily shoot Achilles who came to challenge alone, but he didn’t do that. He was too upright and simple in heart. He won't die, but because of his simplicity, he couldn't resist the incomparable Achilles, and eventually fell...
The war between heroes and heroes is always irritating, and they are always too magnanimous. Dang, they won’t stab the other party inadvertently. They will not use hidden weapons. From the audience’s point of view, they have given up many opportunities, but they just don’t let us do what we want. In the past, there was no room for any cunning or treacherousness, and they all knew how to die, without the slightest ignorance.
Achilles made four heavy, almost roaring, roars that resounded throughout Troy downstairs: Hector, Hector, Hector, Hector, finally welcomed Hector Came out. The confrontation between two real heroes, the confrontation between two real men, between heaven and earth, under the city of Troy, in the many anxious eyes, they finally face each other, like a burst of lightning across the sky, like a whirlpool overturning the sea, silent all around , Everything is dead, only for two heroes. Achilles saw Hector’s "Be merciful under the arrow" in his eyes, not without gratitude. When Hector stumbled, he did not take advantage of the victory and pursued Hector with a sword, and ended. The end of this battle was known for a long time, but he just approached Hector step by step and said loudly to Hector that he would stand up and fight again. Is there anything more boring than this kind of battle? Is there anything more ridiculous than this kind of revenge? No, this is not a battle, nor is it revenge, this is just a discussion between heroes, this is just an agreement between warriors!
In the dark night, in the candlelight of the tent, Achilles, who dragged Hector's body back, did not have the slightest pleasure after victory. At this moment, all he had in his heart was the regret of killing the hero impulsively, and he rarely lost himself— —No, it’s the pain of someone I’ve never encountered that I admire. At this moment, an unknown old man in a flowing robe suddenly came in. He did not introduce himself or say hello to the owner of the tent. He just knelt in front of Achilles, almost Kissing his son’s blood-stained hands with a look of worship, with an imploring tone, with a pair of eyes that are full of running water but always enduring without falling, with a heart full of grief and scars, let Ah Clius returned the body of his son to him, so that his favorite eldest son would receive the decent funeral that a prince deserves.
My heart is shaking, my blood is rolling. The love of a father, what a heavy love it is. It is too thick to dissolve, too deep to be touched, and too heavy to breathe. This king of Troy, he is aloof, he is great, but in the end he He is just an ordinary father, with his broad mind, and his pilgrim-like heart. He kisses everyone, including the "brilliant beauty" brought back by his ignorant son Paris and Ake who killed his son by himself. Luce. I don’t know what he looks like. I don’t know his image in my heart. I only know that he is the unmoving mountain in the depths of the white clouds, the clear stream flowing in the sea, and the desert before being afraid of dryness and loneliness. Row of camels. He is full of wisdom, like Nietzsche and Socrates; he is light and clear, like a Taoist who has been practicing for many years; he is deep, like countless question marks in his heart rolling. In the end, he died for Troy, for the firm belief in his heart. But he will live forever!
The hero's life is always full of legends, and the indestructible warrior Achilles can't avoid fate's teasing on him. No, to be precise, it should be favor. I went to Troy to win the honor of a lifetime, but I was accidentally shot by Cupid’s arrow and I met the woman who melted his hard heart-Hector’s cousin Prithers, her stubborn and rude, she He tolerated the attempt to murder him at night. I was going to give up the war, give up honor, and return to Greece for love, but God always makes the hero’s fate rough and difficult, and the pain of losing his cousin makes his heart violent again, and the hard lump that has just melted a little condenses again. . He lost his cousin, she lost her cousin, they are each other's enemies, they are also each other's lover. On the night when she rescued her from the insults of the soldiers, on the night when she reluctantly set her free, on the night when the city of Troy was burning with fire, he saved her time and time again. In the flames of war, he climbed the wall, he murdered, and when she almost lost her life, he once again owned her, but before he had time to say "I miss you", before he had time to talk to each other and miss. , While they were just looking at each other affectionately, Paris' arrow shot mercilessly at Achilles' heel. Then the second arrow, the third arrow, and the fourth arrow. His chest was riddled with holes. But he still said firmly to her: "I'm okay, don't worry." As hard as him, he was able to fight back at Paris at the time, but he didn't. At this time, only her was in his eyes. He would never war again, never again. He didn't want those unnecessary dignity and honor, and never wanted to return in triumph. At the last moment of his life, he just wanted to reassure her, change her view of him, and make her feel that he is not only advocating violence. He urged her to leave quickly, and she was also very obedient-she turned around, he fell...
Achilles, he is a victorious warrior, a failed hero; he wins beautifully, and loses tragically; he is fierce and cruel, He is kind and unbearable, just like the affectionate flowers blooming on the heroic mountains, like narrow and stagnant ripples in the open-minded and generous ocean.
It's not that I don't hate Paris. It was he who sneaked into Helen’s room on the friendly and peaceful night of Troy and Sparta, it was he who killed the first light in the moment before dawn, it was he who turned the queen of Sparta into the princess of Troy, it was him. His selfishness destroyed the entire city of Troy. But in the end, I still have to thank him. It is also he who brought three true heroes back to life, fights, and died. It is also he who made everyone remember these names that should have been buried in the dust of history! Behind the hero, there will always be someone who is not the protagonist of history changing their destiny. How sad! How lucky it is!
Heroes, true heroes, lonely stars are lightened by you.
Achilles, your blood makes thorns bloom, and your cold makes snowflakes fly along the original whiteness.
Hector, your bravery makes the world become smaller in an instant, and your fearlessness makes the whole epic applaud for you.
King Troy, your steadfast piety makes the spirits of all the people of Troy roar for you.
Hero, don't be alone. The candle-like waves on the desert and the stars like the sands of the Ganges River are just to illuminate the steps you pass by.
What happened to a true hero? What he encountered was the scars and exhaustion all over his body, the painful determination of giving up everything, the great self-destruction that made the evil retreat!

    It’s worth watching, I’ve seen the series

    For three and a half years, the German director chose a rationalist face for Helen, and turned the extremely romantic Trojan War into a vulgarity of greed and humanity. The role of Paris can fully capture the passion and willfulness that he will not hesitate. Filmed as a cowardly idiot to set off Achilles and Hecht. It is not easy for the God-given base material to be displayed so dry.

Troy quotes

  • [last lines]

    Odysseus: [voiceover] If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say I lived in the time of Achilles.

  • Odysseus: Then fight for me. My wife will feel much better knowing you're riding beside me. I'll feel much better.
