Review of 300 (2007) by Sarahc. — 08 Apr 2008
I thought this was an utterly inspiring and moving film from start to finish. Sure it was highly interspersed with CG, holding it that much further away from reality, but do we go to films to watch straight cut- to- screen believable themes? Not all the time.
It didn't dally about with crap, it cut to the point and no, it didn't leave much to the imagination but it didn't have to. It laid everything out for you to just enjoy.The musical score was moving, the visual lighting set the right mood -harsh, aggressive, dark and powerful.
As a woman, the visuals never suited me any better. The sad thing is, these type of men actually don't exsist in real life. Ones who are willing to fight for their right to live, for their people and their country.
These men have no fear and real honour in themselves, who could ask for more? The fact that it was set in a time before guns and nuclear weapons is a breath of fresh air too, the violence in it didn't make me want to throw up like so many modern day "action films" try to make their audience do.
I'd see this film over most of the rubbish currently airing, if I wanted to see another will ferrel movie i'd have myself committed. 300 is highly enjoyable, send a few Spartans round to my place any day.
