Troy

I watched a fantastic movie called Troy last night. After watching the movie, I realized something important in my life!
The most unforgettable scene in my mind is the story of “Trojan horse”. The unfocused horse is just the most significant stuff of the war. The movie is about the Trojan War. The war lasted for ten years; it was one of the hugest classic wars in the world’s history. At the end of the war, the Achaean used a particular way to finish the war, and it is just the “Trojan Horse”. It was a day when the Trojans discovered that the Achaean had left, and they thought that the war was terminated. However, they found a huge wooden horse near the sea. The Greeks was astonished by the wooden horse, they debated what to do with it, some suggested to pull the horse into the city, and others argued that it should be burned. Just then, they captured a man from Greek, and he told the king that the huge wooden horse was used to dedicate the Athena. The king believed it and they finally decided to keep the horse in the city. They began a carnival to celebrate for their win of the long-time war. They sang and danced, everybody was enjoying himself or herself and almost all of them got wasted because they were so happy for winning the war. It was midnight when they went to sleep and had dreams about peaceful pictures. However, the man who lied to the king was a spy. He made secret signal to the huge horse, and thousands of soldiers came out of the wooden horse, they beat the guard easily and they burned every corner of the city, as the great Troy disappeared in a second!
The story told us that once you neglect something, which looks tiny, you would get punished. So we should consider every single tiny thing when we are doing something important!
