patroclis was NOT achilles' cousin. he was actually his lover. back then....christianity hadn't put the "gay" rules into effect yet. i've read alot about achilles in the past.
I think it has already been established that the movie did not stick to the books/mythology. However, this thread is about the movie...and in the movie, Patroclus is Achilles' cousin.
And as far as Achilles and Patroclus being lovers, Homer does not necessarily portray them as such. Many other writers viewed their relationship as pederastic, but this wasn't uncommon in Ancient Greece.
