Saw 300 today. It's an exaggerated account of how 300 Spartan warriors held a million strong persian army. As expected this film is a testosterone ride into blood & gore of special effects. It presumably has some historical basis.
However, it falls flat as it tries to prove how western 'democracy & freedom' prevailed in face of barbaric asian invasions. Well, thats so 'ku klux clan'esque. So Xerxes kills because he is evil. Leonides kills for freedom.
The one thing I did like about the film was the camera work. The angles, the movements, the filters, the speed & everything about the camera was truly remarkable.
It's a good time-pass for the lovers of war films. But a complete let down for others.
