Plot
It is the year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband, Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnon to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. But they come to a stop by Hector, Prince of Troy. The whole movie shows their battle struggles and the foreshadowing of fate in this remake by Wolfgang Petersen of Homer's "The Iliad."

Quotes:

Agamemnon: Peace is for women and the weak.

Andromache: [to Hector] I can't imagine life without you.

Priam: I've fought many wars in my time. Some I've fought for land, some for power, some for glory. I suppose fighting for love makes more sense than all the rest.

Glaucus: [the Appolonians are making their last stand] Soldiers of Troy! You men are warriors! To lead you has been my honor! [to Paris] My prince! The boatman waits for us! I say, we make him wait a little longer!::[Trojans attack as the Greeks break down the last barricade]

Agamemnon: I see you're not hiding behind your high walls. Valiant of you. Ill-advised, but valiant.::Hector: You come here uninvited. Go back to your ships and go home.::Agamemnon: We've come too far, Prince Hector.::Menelaus: Prince? What prince? What son of a king would accept a man's hospitality, eat his food, drink his wine, embrace him in friendship, and then steal his wife in the middle of the night?::Paris: The sun was shining when your wife left you.::Menelaus: She's up there, watching, isn't she? Good. I want her to watch you die.::Agamemnon: Not yet, brother. Look around you, Hector. I brought all the warriors of Greece to your shores.::Nestor: You can still save Troy, young prince.::Agamemnon: I have two wishes. If you grant them, no more of your people need die. First, you must give Helen back to my brother. Second, Troy must submit to my command, to fight for me whenever I call.::Hector: You want me to look upon your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.::Agamemnon: Careful boy, my mercy has limits.::Hector: And I've seen the limits of your mercy and I tell you now, no son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler.::Agamemnon: Then every son of Troy shall die.

[Paris cowardly bows out of a duel with Menelaus, leaving everyone aghast, especially Menelaus]::Menelaus: [shouts to Helen] Is this what you left me for?

[Eyes closed, Briseis has blade against his throat]::Achilles: Do it. [Briseis doesn't do anything, but only stares at him. Achilles opens his eyes] Do it. Nothing is easier.::Briseis: Aren't you afraid?::Achilles: Everyone dies, whether today or fifty years from now.::Briseis: If I don't, you'll kill more men.::Achilles: Many.

Odysseus: [Achilles throws his spear into a nearby tree] Your reputation for hospitality is fast becoming legend.

Agamemnon: [approaches king] Good day for the crows.::Triopas: Remove your army from my land.::Agamemnon: Why, I like your land, I think we'll stay. I like your soldiers too.::Triopas: They won't fight for you.::Agamemnon: That's what the Messenians said, and the Acardians, and the Opeians, now they all fight for me.::Triopas: You can't have the whole world, Agamemnon. It's too big, even for you.::Agamemnon: I don't want to watch another massacre. Let's settle this war in the old manner. Your best fighter against my best.::Triopas: And if my man wins?::Agamemnon: We'll leave Thessaly for good.::Triopas: Boagrius!::[cheers from Thessalian army. Boagrius comes out from the centre of the army]::Agamemnon: Achilles!::[silence]::Triopas: Boagrius has this effect on many heroes.::Agamemnon: Be careful who you insult, old king.::Greek Soldier: My king, Achilles is not with the army.::Agamemnon: Where is he?::Greek Soldier: I sent a boy to look for him.

Achilles: If I hurt you, it's not what I wanted

Henry Purcell: Dido and Aeneas

Order: Reorder
Duration: 56:11
Updated: 27 Nov 2013

Purcell's much-loved tragic opera is an intense tale of heroism, passion, betrayal and ultimate tragedy, played out against a backdrop of fiery rituals, evil spells and pageantry. It was filmed entirely on location at Hampton Court House, England, where spectacular settings are created in the house and grounds. Dido, Queen of Carthage, and Prince Aeneas, a fugitive lately arrived in her realm after the fall of Troy, fall in love; Dido's confidante Belinda urges her to yield to his suit, and they go off on a hunting party which, as a seventeenth-century audience would readily have understood, symbolises Aeneas's sexual capture of Dido. Meanwhile, skulking in the gloom of a cave, an evil Sorceress and her Enchantresses (an addition of Tate's not found in Virgil) plot to destroy Dido by conjuring up a false vision of Mercury to send Aeneas on his way; this is duly done when the hunting party is scattered by a sudden thunderstorm. Soon afterwards, as the Trojan mariners prepare to set sail, the Sorceress and Enchantresses arrive at the quayside to gloat; Dido upbraids Aeneas for his faithlessness and furiously dismisses him but after he has left she dies, broken-hearted, in Belinda's arms. The dramatic power of the piece is complemented by its musical riches, which are shared among all the individual singers and the various colourful groups: urbane courtiers, gleefully malignant witches, salty mariners portrayed by the chorus. Dido & Aeneas is not only one of the most perfect operas ever written but also an ideal opera for television. The extreme dramatic compression of its plot, which is one of the few grounds on which it is open to criticism, is even an advantage in film terms. Cinema and television audiences are extremely familiar with fast cutting, rapid plot development and the emotional twists and turns of much contemporary drama. A classical tragedy compressed into just under one hour is thus not as implausible as it might at first appear. The location, Hampton Court House, is an empty mid-eighteenth century mansion with its own, slightly decayed, formal gardens and grounds. Ancient Carthage on the coast of North Africa, the setting for the story, was a trading city and a melting pot of nations. Niek Kortekaas, the designer, decided to create a rich yet primitive world, lit by fire (for which there are many references both literal and metaphorical in the text) in which Dido's court draws together elements of many cultures and traditions fusing them into a society dominated by ritual and pageantry The challenge of working on film was a new one for most of the cast and it allowed a great subtlety in the vocal performances since the artists did not have to worry about projecting their performances into an auditorium. Magnetic performers like Maria Ewing were able to relish intimate effects which would not have registered in an opera house. Equally the tight focus of film work with its close-ups and reaction shots called for a style of acting quite different from that employed in a theatre and one which the cast embraced with great enthusiasm. I hope that this film captures both the personal intimacy and the public tragedy which lie at the heart of Purcell's great masterpiece.

Behold Upon My Bending Spear - Henry Purcell

Top Henry Purcell, Behold Upon My Bending Spear

AENEAS
Behold, upon my bending spear
A monster's head stands bleeding,
with tushes far exceeding
those did Venus' huntsman tear.
DIDO
The skies are clouded hark!
How thunder rends the mountain oaks asunder.
BELINDA (repeated by CHORUS)
Haste, haste to town, this open field
