A beauty, a hero, and a king, three person’s stories; beauty, courage, and desire, three different emotions. Their intersection is the movie "Helen of troy". Paris in the dark was suddenly coming out of the enemy draw knife stabbed several died on the spot ……Helen was raped by Agamemnon, who could not resist, In the end, back to the starting point - she still followed his husband, whom she did not love ...... the men, who personally killed his daughter for war ritual, Agamemnon, was eventually killed by his wife ...... the surprising plots to shook the people's nerves. If they had known these final results, will they go to still struggle for it? Still to pursue? Will they chooser the same choices.
Helen is the beauty, she represents the free of love. Helen is just a weak woman, even though she has a beautiful face. Every woman is eager to be a beauty, but the beauty of Helen brought her a series of disasters, “The beautiful woman suffered a harsh life”. Her beauty becomes the object of desires of many men: she is robbed by Theseus, then his brother robbed her back; her father hated her; the kings got together and decided her vest. Her body was her own, but she is not independence. All of these makes Helen flee. Perhaps it is unforgivable that Helen fled from Greece in the eyes of the Greeks. But as a woman, it is a pursuit of free love. For love, she blows everything. Helen, who is an active life, she knows what she wants, and pursuit of the goal of herself. She proved that women are not just an object of desire for men, she also has the ability to initiate the pursuit of love and happiness. From Helen I also thought of "Yingying biography" the girl Cui Yingying, and" Stone Story "Lin Daiyu."Stone Story "Lin seems to get rid of the tragic fate, the novel pointed to the Lin's identity at the beginning, she is the reincarnations of annatto, Lin struggled for independent personal love and freedom, she suffered extraordinary pains. Lin therefore shed the last drop of for true love.
In addition, from Helen's story, I saw the ancient Greeks’ questing for the beauty. As a modern man, I cannot understand, a decade of war, the ultimate goal of war is for a beauty, which no modern man can understand. Perhaps in the eyes of Greeks, The beauty is above anything, beauty is truth. The two sides compete for peerless beauty Helen, countless soldiers went dark for the beauty of sacrifice without regrets. Perhaps because of this, the ancient Greek create the elegant and refined, noble and lively, full of artistic expression full of beautiful statues.
Paris is also a hero. He is different from the movie "Troy" that Paris no longer hid in the city, and did not meet the enemy, he is not the cowardly Paris. Although he was not the first warrior of Troy, but he does not intend to surrender to anyone, he fight for his own reputation. The pursuit of honor and dreams and goals of each ancient Greek hero. They process in the pursuit of honor, individuality, self-affirmation, to realize their own values, but also to indulge the desire to sacrifice moral, ethical. War is an important way to get the honor. the release of passion, you can win a lot of trophies, enhanced reputation, the subject of admiration. For example, Achilles would rather die, than want to lead his life comfortably at home.
Agamemnon symbolizes the desire, his desire to focus on three areas: the woman - Helen; for wealth, power; against honor. Agamemnon's desire to unite to meet the end of the movie, though, but with the life disappear, he could not really have his income. As a man, he was eager to Helen's beauty; as king, eager to wealth, power; as a great hero, the pursuit of honor. His desire, the more and more damage to others. To his desires, he snubbed his wife, killed her daughter, coerced brother, kill the tens of thousands of people. Sadly with the disappearance of his own lives, Agamemnon cannot really have his income. This is the tragedy of human destiny. Second, the pursuit of wealth and power. As a king, Agamemnon is thirst for power and greed for wealth, which coexists with the growing strength of his ambition. At that time the Greek states, the most powerful Mycenae, Agamemnon is the highest leader of the entire Greek region, he orders the pack, assembled troops. Achilles, Odysseus, Menelaus and so obey him. He wants absolute power, which makes him particularly arrogant men. He also wants to conquer the ocean side of the Trojan people, so that they surrender to him. In the film, his fierce eyes prove arrogant Agamemnon. Any of his decisions are irrefutable. He dreamed to conquer the world. In the film, Agamemnon is the object of many desires, he desire carrier interests, wealth, excuse powers and so on. After decades of war, he was loaded with booty, honor and go, very comfortable lying tub. Then Agamemnon reached the pinnacle of his life. He is successful, peak moment is also low moments, all of his life is together with his disappearance. People admire the ancient Greek heroes, we should also ponder war and humanity. Society needs proper desire, need good human, but definitely do not need
