Because Achilles dies from getting hit in the chest and not the heel. Because that makes sense, Just another shitty Hollywood remake.
Newsflash; the Illiad was shitty as hell to begin with. Accurate portrayal would mean half of the movie is the gods yelling at each other and having piss poor screen time.
Let's not forget both versions left out the fact that he had a male lover as well...
We don't stay in that class peroid long enough
Ahhhhhhhhhh you spoiled the ending, Achilles heel is your weakness.
Haha, yeah. That was an aspect of Greco-Roman society that this one wasn't too comfortable with showcasing. XD
I've read the Illiad. Of course I know the story of Troy. That's the only actual attempt to account for Troy. It's not realistic. Nobody is impregnable with the exception of an area at their heel. That's horse crap. Being shot through the chest is plausible. It's called a remake for a reason. They get to use creative liberties. Which in this case made the movie immensely better.
