Troy Movie Review

                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.
