As we discussed in class; I learned that Gilg wasn't immortal, he was just couldn't be defeated by man.
We also talked about this heroism, or lake there of. I know a hero as defined was a personal who sets out for a greater cause than himself. Gilgamesh was very selfish, and it took the death of his brother to break him from his selfishness. So he is a hero in that sense, that he showed human emotion and changed as a human. But he is not because he never really did anything worth while, or to help anyone. His actions killed his brother, so that's not very heroic to me. All in all, I enjoyed the Gilgamesh story, it had a bit of everything I like in a movie. Lust, sex, death, drama and hot men.
