Two years ago, Troy set the standards for a good war movie. 300 is here to redefine those standards. Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, the movie is about how 300 Spartans driven by nationalism and the deep desire for freedom; take on a million strong Persian army. The story has its own connotation of the standard formula of love, patriotism, friendship and betrayal, but that does not make it another stereotypical movie. The movie stands out with its incredible special effects. The breathtaking sequences rivet you to the seats and the prodigious use of color and shade gives the viewer a surreal feeling of actually being on the battlefield, ‘feeling’ what the soldiers felt. The soundtrack is a delightful mix of metal and classical Arabic music giving it a mystic yet powerful sound.
Grerad Butler as King Loenadis gives every frame he is present in, a sense of immense power and Rodrigo Sentaro as the Persian king, a sense of mystic horror. The real strength of the movie are the dialogues, most of which have been picked as it is from the novel. The realism of the sets and the attention to detail makes it a treat to watch.
The movie has a lot to offer, don’t miss it.
