I enjoyed this movie a lot and I think that it has great parallels to life and religion. One of my favorite lines is when Pitt's character says that the God's envy us because every breathe could be our last and it makes it that much sweeter. I think that a part of this is true. Some things in life are better because they are only enjoyed for a moment. To be in a state on constant eating for instance would not be good. But food taste so much better when you have not had some in a long time.
However, I don't know how much of his line was for real and how much of it was just trying to get in that Apollo temple girl's pants. Because it seems that his whole goal is to be immortalized and remembered. The gods have that down pretty good. Both things can not coexist. It seems that given the two options Pitt would rather be a god.
But maybe he is just tired of fight but wants to be remembered as a fighter. I just think there is way to much emphasis on what people think about you. Pitt although the freaking man in Troy seems like he is still in high school wanting to be the popular kid. At some point you have to grow up and not care what everyone around you thinks.
