Troy is one of my favorite movies.
This movie told about Trojan War, which was begun when Helen (Diane Kruger),
who was a queen from King of Sparta, was kidnapped by Paris (Orlando Bloom),
who was a Trojan Prince. In the fact, Helen and Paris was a love bird, so Paris
asked Helen to live in Troya and she would be his wife.
Menelaus
really anger when he knew his wife joined Paris to go to Troya. So, he asked Agamemnon
who was King of Mycenaean to attack the Troya Kingdom. Agamemnon agreed to do
it, because he had the intention to expand his power and to subject Troya
Kingdom. So, he asked his troops to attack Troya kingdom. This troop was led by
Achilles (Brad Pitt). Achilles was a brave fighter. He was respected by the
others fighters. But, his king didn’t like him, because Achilles joined to this
war in order to note down his name in history. In this war, brother of Achilles
joined to attack Troya Kingdom.
Finally,
Achilles and his troops arrived in Troya. They attacked Troya Kingdom and used
Briseis as their hostage. Briseis was a King Priam’s daughter. In their first
attacked, they succeed to make the fortress in Troya seashore too.
The
next day, the war was continued again. Paris tried to end this war by invited
Menelaus to fight one by one. But, Paris was a bad fighter. He almost was
killed by Menelaus. I believe that he would be killed if Hector didn’t hep him.
Prince Hector (Eric Bana) was the best solder that Troya ever had. He succeeded
to kill Menelaus. Of course, it made bigger war than before. Trojans, who was
led by Prince Hector, won in this war.
The
success of last war made Trojans had bigger spirit to expulsion their enemy
from Troya. They attacked their enemies in the dawn. It made Spartan and
Mycenaean panic and almost defeated. Suddenly Achilles came and fought with
Hector. Achilles used the mask when he fought with Hector. Finally Hector could
kill Achilles. But, actually the man who mask was Achilles’s younger brother. It
was surprised Hector, because he thought that the man who wore the mask was
Achilles.
Achilles,
who had known that Hector had killed his younger brother, came to Hector and
asked him to fight one by one. Actually Hector had known that Achilles was stronger
than himself. But, Hector was not a coward. Finally, Achilles killed Hector.
King
Priam really sad when he knew Hector was killed. So, he asked Achilles to end
this war as long as 12 days. Achilles agreed it.
In
those silent days, Agamemnon had an idea to enter the fortress of Troya Kingdom.
He and his troops made a big wooden horse. Tens of Spartan hid among in that
wooden horse. They would open the way to the others Spartan to enter the
fortress of Troya.
The
Spartan tactic’s was success. King Priam thought that the wooden horse was the
peace present from Spartan. Then that wooden horse was brought into the
fortress of Troya. In the middle of night, the Spartans went out from wooden horse.
Then they opened the fortress gates of Troya. So, other Spartans could enter
and attacked Troya. Most of Trojan was killed by Spartan. Women and children ran
away by the secret way. But, Briseis who felt in love with her enemy didn’t
want to leave Troya. She looked out for Achilles. She almost was killed by Agamemnon,
but Achilles saved her. When Achilles was expressing his feeling to Briseis,
Paris came and killed Achilles.
It
was the end of this movie. Troy was the best movie that I ever seen. It told us
about love, loyalty, and braveness. So, I really like this movie.
