Sorry, but I had to stop watching this, despite really enjoying it. The loud snorting every 30 seconds when wearing earphones is nauseating. Please just go and blow your nose or clear your throat when you need to.

You guys been watching the extended versions. I noticed in this and the gladiator theres a bunch of unnecessary scenes that made the movie like 30 min longer. Honestly not for the better.

I know I am late to the party with this comment, but Hector is the best character in this movie. He is brave, smart, honorable, and noble. He loves his wife and his brother (to a fault) and his father. To me, his character is better than the rest even though it mainly focuses on Achilles. But, I mean, a naked Brad Pitt, come on...LOL.
One thing about the original story is that Paris was put under a spell so that he didn't know what he was really doing. He was in a trance to fall in love. I believe it was Athena that put him under that spell.
In the Iliad, the battle takes place over 10 years, not a few weeks as shown here.
You ladies are awesome!

You should check out the film King Arthur from 2004, it focuses on a story that could have inspired the legend.

If you are interested in Roman History, this link will take you to a playlist with all the Mike Duncan History of Rome podcast episodes. It covers everything and will give you as about a complete understanding as you want from such a casual way of studying. The Punic wars, Late Republic, Caesar, Octavian, and Augustus episodes go into material that explains the beginning of how the modern world was formed into what it is today.
Julius Caesar was a brilliant politician and one of histories greatest generals. He basically became the first emperor after winning the civil war that destroyed the republic, although he didn't call himself that and still pretended that the senate mattered. The Constantine the great episodes explain how he made Christianity into one of the dominant world religions. And, if you want some depravity, there is Caligula, Nero, and Commodus as well as other examples. For wise rule, other than Augustus and the Senate in the times when it worked, there is Marcus Aurelius the man whose name they used in the movie Gladiator and father of Commodus. Emperor Claudius has to have one of the funniest rise to power stories in history, overlooking all the tragedy that made it possible, and actually did a good job when he got there. It's all tremendously fascinating. Of course, if your not into this kind of thing, it will be dry.

This next one is meditations of Marcus Aurelius. He wrote all these thoughts for his own personal use and they were discovered after his death.

Then, there is I, Claudius a TV series from 1976 that dramatizes much of this stuff. It's really good. It would be awesome to see a reaction but I don't think it would fit with the vibe of the channel. There are 13 episodes. It's about the rise and fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty that started with Augustus, Caesars successor, and ended with Nero.

The HBO series Rome from 2005 is really good as well and focuses on Caesar and the fall of the republic. If you don't react to any of these, they are worth a watch in private. Roman history is really brutal but I suppose all human history is. Together, I, Claudius and the Rome series, cover over a 100 continuous years it.
Roman History described with box and circle animations, its really fun.

Can the Angels look into reacting to The Last of the Mohicans(1992). Actions and Romance y'all will love it. Women always do.

Tien, you made me laugh so much. In regards to Paris and Helen, “they pretty, but they dumb.”
The story comes from HOMER’S ILLIAD. It’s mostly myth with a bit of history. Homer was probably Greek, but he wrote both Trojans and Greeks as heroic.
Lan said, “A thousand ships.” There’s a saying in English, “A face to launch a thousand ships.” It means the woman is beautiful, but refers back to this story, and could also be a warning about pursuing beauty.
Achilles’ men are called Myrmidons, an elite fighting force that Zeus, the main god, created from ants.
Achilles had a normal king as a father but a sea nymph as a mother so he’s like half a god(demi-god), but also his mother dipped him as baby in the River Styx(that’s like a river you cross to get into the underworld/hell-If you see the River Styx Lan’s dad made a mistake during your surgery.) so Achilles only weak spot is the back part of his ankle where her fingers held him..
That’s why we call that tendon that attaches to your ankle the “Achilles Tendon”. But, someone’s “Achilles heel” means their metaphorical weak point.
Oddeseus is another character in this story. Homer wrote another story about him called The Odyssey.
I think Christopher Nolan is soon to release a film that covers this story. Of course, that’s where the English word “odyssey” comes from, meaning long, adventurous journey.
Homer’s epic poems are foundational to Western literature. There are older works but he’s super important, and his work starts to resemble what would eventually become the novel.

When Achilles was yelling for Hector they should have sent the cleaning maid from Family guy instead. "Noooo nooo, Mr Hector no is here"

Lan, "Paris, you belong in France, you will not win this fight."
Achilles yells "Hector!" and Thien, "I'm coming now, give me 5 more minutes."
You ladies are hilarious.😂
I was expecting Troy to be one of the next reactions; there were so many signs from the gods.🙏😅
Troy is a good movie, but I'm always so annoyed by Paris, Helen, and King Priam and his obsession with the gods.
Because of these three characters, all the good characters had to suffer.
That was an awesome reaction, Angels, as always.💜

A movie named after me? What a coincidence. I’m so excited you guy’s are reacting to this. Great movie too!
