Troy

Posted by: julynell on: February 11, 2008

I saw Troy this evening. For the third time or something. I am a huge Brad Pitt fan (and not just because he is good looking ;) ), I love most of his movies although I haven’t seen all of them by a long shot.
The second reason I love Troy, is the setting of the movie. For some reason, movies that take place in a time a couple of thousands of years ago, appeal to me. I loved Gladiator. I love movies that take place in Scotland like Rob Roy and Braveheart, although a different time setting, still a long time ago.

Troy tells the story of the Trojan War, the great story by Greek poet Homer. It’s a war story, a story about love, love between 2 people and love for their land and king, about brotherhood and death.

Warrior of Light

When a warrior is the victim of injustice, he usually tries to be alone, in order not to show his pain to others.

This is both good and bad.

It is one thing to allow one's heart to heal it's wounds slowly, but it is quite another to sit all day in deep contemplation for fear of seeming weak.

Inside each of us there lives an angel and a devil, and their voices are very alike. Confronted by a problem, the devil encourages that solitary conversation, trying to show us how vulnerable we are. The angel makes us reflect upon our attitudes and occasionally needs someone else's mouth to reveal itself.

A warrior balances solitude and dependence.

from Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho
