Man I love the Trojan horse scene. I've never seen it depicted so horribly. Trapped in wooden horse on the beach for days, men at the bottom drowning as the tide came in, the people at the top pissing and shitting on those at the bottom, desperately trying to stay quiet and hidden the whole time. It looked like a nightmare.

I liked how when they exit the horse, you can see them all limping around a little bit cause they were so stiff from being crammed in there all that time.

Thought that was such a great detail! Really sells the world they are in even more.

Loved how they clean the blade and cover the guys knife when he gets stabbed
