300: Prepare For Glory

I've just seen the movie, 300, earlier this night and I believe that it was a simple-minded but visually exciting experience, full of blood, violence, and read-made movie quotes. It was really entertaining especially for war enthusiasts.

What I like about the film is that it was made with less color saturation. For this reason, I believe it made the movie perfectly manifested through it's cinematography. There are also scenes that shown unnecessary actions, but that was okay.

Overall, the movie was substantial, however, the idea of King Leonidas was selfish. Anyway, 300 is based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller. It was a ferocious retelling of the ancient "Battle of Thermopylae" in which King Leonidas (Played by Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to their death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

It had made my work off worth it. Cheers!
