The 300 Review

Recommended Posts

The 300 (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition) (2007)

Review by Ursus

 

Beware and enjoy; this is not your average critique...

 

The 300 is the best movie ever fashioned by human hands. It is a spiritual experience that elevates the soul into the realm of the empyrean. Beneath the blood and gore of gaudy special effects lies a powerful message, the likes of which we will never see again in our lifetime. There are those who say the movie is not historical. Speak not to me of history! What is history but the lies of old men who seek to legitimize the warlords who stole a civilization by force of arms...?

Ok. You talked me into it. I'll put it on my amazon wish list and give it a go.

Jeez, Ursus... I can see you liked it but good grief it was the most forgettable film ever.

 

Sorry, what were we talking about? :D

I've had this film on DVD for so many years now I forgot where I put it. You have the bravery of a Spartan Ursus, because I still haven't drawn the courage to sit down and watch this film. :P

Here's a very good critique of the movie 300.

 

It was written by Dr. Kaveh Farrokh, a very thoughtful Iranian historian and expert on Ancient Persia.

Ah yes. The 300. It is to the battle of Thermopylae what Clash of the Titans is to Greek myth. Thing is though, the story of the actual battle is a pretty good one. The makers of this movie should have gotten an Oscar in the 'gilding the lily' category.
