Fight Club Clip

I am choosing the fight scene between Achilles and Hector in Troy.


Actors: Eric Bana- Hector
Brad Pitt- Achilles
Orlando Bloom- Paris

Stuntman- They preformed their own stunts

Scenario- Hector must fight Achilles Because his brother Paris Refused to fight Menelaus.

Style: First part of the fight is with shield and spear but later they use swords.

Genre: Realistic and Dramatic.

I think the fight is realistic because the moves they use are not over the top or unrealistic. They look like what you would see in an actual fight doing the period of time its in. They also show signs of fatigue, as you would see in a actual fight. I choose Dramatic because of what is at stake in the fight.

Objective: Hectors Objective is to protect his city and people. And to protect his wife and new born son. Should he lose not only would troy lose their best General but also their best warrior.
Achilles Is fighting not to protect anyone but because Hector killed his cousin thinking it was Achilles.

Tactics: Hector uses a more defensive fighting stance blocking and countering until he uses his sword then you goes on the offence. He uses his shield as weapon bashing and striking his opponent.
Achilles uses his superior agility and strength to take the offence in the beginning of the fight but must take a bit of a defensive stance toward the middle of the fight but due to his better endurance and the fact he is literally invincible unless someone can cut his heel. He overpowers Hector and kills him.

Obstacles- Hectors has many obstacles. The fate of troy rests on his shoulders. His people are counting on him to lead the army of troy to victory and protect them. His brother needs him to win so he can keep his love toy. And of course Achilles who is the greeks secret weapon nearly immortal in battle and a instrument to increase greek moral by being on the battle field.
Achilles only real obstacle his to protect his heel...

Why I choose this fight?
I choose this fight because I love historical films whether they be base on myth or reality. I also enjoy epic realistic fights. But mainly because the cinematography in the fight was masterfully done.
