Troy 2004
The best part about Troy was when Paris (Orlando Bloom) passed the sword of Troy to a young man limping along with his father.
"What's your name?" Paris asked the man.
"Aeneas," the man replied.
Aeneas goes on to wander at sea for years; his descendants eventually found the Roman Empire.
I felt smug about noticing this detail, especially when, while waiting outside the bathrooms after the movie I overheard this conversation:
Woman: I can't believe they killed Brad Pitt. He's such a hottie.
Man: Uh.
Woman: I can't believe they used the horse like that!
Man: Well you've heard of the Trojan Horse, right?
Woman: Yeah. But I didn't know they used it like that!
Man: Well what did you think they did?
Woman: I thought they used it to sail back to Greece!
