The Best Scenes of Historical Drama Movies (part 1) [HD]

so basically half of the scenes are from Troy and the rest of it are two scenes from Gladiator and one from the Patriot. What a great diverse selection of movies.

Troy was way beyond it's time. The fighting, the blood, the acting. All of that's better than most modern movies.

been five years since the release of pt1, man, pt2 must be legendary

“Is there no one else?” **Everyone jumps on him**

Hector's death was sad to be honest, Him, Maximus and Leonidas died like warriors

You know considering he’s fighting a literal demigod Hector is doing pretty damn well

Hector vs Achilles is probably the best choreographed fight scene i have ever watched

0:03 "imagine a king who fights his own battles, wouldn't that be a sight." *Leonidas has entered the chat*

"Imagine a King who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?" Brad Pitt really fit into this role in the movie like a fish to water.

Achilles massacring like 20+ guys so take the temple by himself is arguably one of the best scenes in a historical movie.

Actually, this *shhhiiiingggg* sound when drawing your sword is a very reliable indicator for the bad quality of your sheath.

Notice that the general of Achilles in Troy,was exactly the same general Leonidas had in the movie 300...

Hector was such a sympathetic character. You can't help but root for him as the underdog.

The Hektor vs Achilles fight was very well done. Each part of it was showing you something specific about the two men but particularly Hektor.and how he contrasts with Paris. You see from the start just by the way they both move that they are similar to each other and different to everyone else. This is reinforced when you see Hektor successfully defend against Achilles' leaping thrust to the neck that Boagrius and others were killed by. Then you have them both showing great technical skills with shield and spear ending with both fighters breaking the others spear to set up the remainder of the fight with swords. But while they are in a league of their own and fairly evenly matched, Achilles has the edge. Hektor seems a little more tired, his technique is a little more ragged and he doesn't have the anger driving him on that Achilles does. This continues for the sword section of the fight - both fighting brilliantly but Hektor gradually becoming more tired. Nevertheless he is able to cut Achilles breast plate, to Achilles surprise, thus getting closer than anyone else to killing him. But this was Hekor's last big chance. After this he's seriously tired but though he trips on a rock and is wounded by Achilles (in the same way as Paris was against Menelaus) unlike Paris he carried on fighting through the pain. He eventually succumbs to Achilles but never loses his honor throughout the fight and at the point of death. Were the ancient Greeks and Trojans able to see this fight I think they would take the meaning (or at least one of them) to be that as a man, you can be noble, brave and skilled .... above all others even - but if the gods are against you and fate is against you then you are doomed. Hektor was as good as it was possible for a mortal man to be in terms of his character and his skills. Achilles was less noble in character but he was part god through his mother. it gave him the edge over Hektor and fate had already determined that Achilles was going to achieve great glory at Troy. So Hektor's end was inevitable. In short - mortal man cannot overcome the will of the gods.

Poor hector... He had to die for his little brother selfishness

I felt sad for Hector he was very noble n humble

Troy is basically like the ancient Greek’s D-day

Hector knew he couldn't but still went Thats why he is remembered

3:22 Achilles using aim bot in 2000 BC...

3:42 hardly tried to avoid a spear coming at him without losing eye contact with Hector and casually strolls into the temple Hector - Nah bruh Paris give the girl back
