It must have been so impossible to think about it and dare to do that, so they feel compassionate for her. I don`t think the movie would work otherwise.
I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he`s going to take her when she`s going to go with him. Also, the movie is really focused on Achilles and Hector and their battles.
I really feel like the first day I went to drama school and I went up on stage, that I found my vocation. It`s kind of a cliched thing to say but I really feel like it was what I was meant to do.
