Troy- The great Achilies

I recently watched the movie Troy and was moved. The was movie spoke of honour and valor. My favourite character was by far the character of Achilles played by  Brad Pit. Achilles  was one of, if not the best warrior's. What was interesting was that he fought for himself, he did not fight for any foolish king.  He understood that Kings would just use soldiers as little ponds for their battles and the kings would go down in history. The reason that Achilles fought against Troy was because the battle of Troy was to go down in history and he wanted to be known as the best warrior who ever lived. 

What was amazing was that because he knew how fickle the kings were. The real battle that Achilles had was with the King of the Spartans. In the beginning scenes you notice the Spartan Kings hatred towards Achilles because he could not be controlled or manipulated. Achilles hated the thought of possibly being just another servant dieing because a Foolish King decided he wanted more and more power. A king standing in complete ignorance to the fact that soldiers have families and many children were left father less.

 Achilles was not so  proud to be fighting and killing, like any other person had emotions. there was one moment were he cries and the audience is open to his heart. He never stop killing because he felt that this was what he was born to do just because he was excellent at it. The cousin of Achilles died out of arrogance pretending to lead the army into battle and blindly fighting Hector of Troy. This vexed Achilles and caused a great anger to arise in him. Hector was called to battle Achilles and killed, even though both lead soldiers were against the war.

Bottom line that I got from this movie is know what you are fighting for and who you are fighting for. There are to many people that do not know what drives them in life. So many will work hard for people that don't care about you. Working for a boss that is caring is so much more rewarding. When becoming a leader i believe that one must of served first so the leader understands how to direct and not just blindly sating commands.
