Now, I'll write something about my two favorite movies and they are: "Troy" and "Goal: The dream begins".


Troy (Written by David Benioff):

Plot: This movie it is the year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age, where two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back and Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for get more power because through the war they could obtain the Troy city. Therefore, they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy and with the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. That is why, Hector Prince of Troy decides fight against the Greek army and the movie shows the battles that were provoked by the love that feel Paris and Menelaus by Helen, because if they didn't felt this sentiment, the war wouldn't occur.

Goal! (Written by Adrian Butchart, Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais and Mike Jefferies):

Plot: This movie is starred by Santiago Muñez, who is a skilled soccer player. His biggest dream is plays soccer professionally. He is the son of a gardener who lives in Los Angeles and illegally entered the USA from Mexico ten years earlier and due to his poor life and the fact that he plays solely for a local club consisting of persons who work in a car wash, he feels it is unlikely. However, one day his skills are noticed by Glen Foy, a former Newcastle United player and he says to Santiago that he have to go to England for a tryout with Newcastle United. So, to travel to England his grandmother sells off some old jewelry and buys him his tickets to England. Then, when he arrived to England he goes to the tryout and how he is unused to playing in England, and plays badly, but one month later he reaches his full potential and he wins a place in the team. Later, Santiago's father dies of a heart attack and Santiago plans return to home, but he decides not return because he feel that he should play the match against Liverpool F.C and he were the best soccer player of the match because they were losing 2-0 and finally they could win 3-2 and pass to the next season in the UEFA Champions League.
