text: The scenery of 'Troy' is pretty accurate . . . the costumes are pretty, and that's about as far as it goes.  The writers took A LOT of liberties with history simply in the fact that the 'bad guy' won.  That is, the Greeks sacked Troy, killed all the men, threw the babies from the walls and sent the women to various city-states as slaves.  Paris and Helen didn't escape in a tunnel.  No happy ending, but Hollywood seems to frequently ignore the facts.  They could have called it anything but 'Troy' and been more accurate.\n\nYes, I own the movie because Eric Bana & Brad Pitt look great in skirts.  Oh, and Sean Bean.  Yes.
