电影特洛伊[Troy]英文影评

My view about 《Troy 》

----The shining human nature

When I was a senior high school student, I knew something about Helen’s beauty and the war between Troy and Greece fought for her. Recently, I saw the movie--troy, and it was the first time that I completely and thoroughly knew about this war story.

As is known to us all, this war is caused by Helen, the Spartan queen, she is so beautiful that Paris, the Trojan prince, fell deeply in love with her and persuaded her to run away with him to Troy. Then Helen’s husband, the king of Spata, decided to attack Troy and look for the help of his brother, the king of Mycenae, a selfish and brutal man, who just want to conquer troy and expand his power.

In this movie, what impressed me most was not Helen’s beauty, but hector and Achilles ’ brave and the good side of human nature the movie showed to us. First, I like hector most; he is a true hero in my mind. He desires peace and happiness, he love his country, his wife and his brother and he wants his son grow up with his care. Actually, he has won the peace for the country in the beginning, but his younger brother ’s irresponsible behavior made him involved in the war again. He never

complains and just takes the responsibility to protect his country and his family. He bravely faced the challenge of Achilles after he killed Achilles’ cousin by mistake, even if he knew he would be killed by Achilles. Achilles is a romantic hero in his movie, he was born a skillful warrior and he never be controlled by anyone. Originally, he just fight for glory and immortality, but he changed his attitude toward the war and felt tired of the war and the fight when he fell in love with Briseis. That was the first time in his life that he found peace and quiet. It’s the love that changed him and he died for his love at last.

At the end of this movie, troy was captured by the Greeks because of a wooden horse. The two heroes and the kings all died. So there is no winner in this war .maybe the only winner is the human nature. It ’s the human nature that make hector his country and his family despite of losing his own life, and it’s the human nature that make Achilles give up chasing glory and then protect the girl he loved, and it’s the human nature that make the king of troy to plead for his son’s body at night. All of these are the shininess of human nature.
