I saw 300 last Friday and I was so amazed. Not only did it capture me with a great storyline, well developed and deep characters but also the great effects and graphics. The director spent a lot of effort on telling a simple heroic tale about the ancient Spartans. Not to spoil anything for those of you who haven’t seen it but let’s just say your in for a treat.
On a side note – there has been a lot of controversy surrounding this movie – the Iranians have complained that the ancient Persians (the bad guys in the movie) are ancestors of theirs and are beeing portrayed as barbaric savages. On the other hand – some think it’s a typical pathetic american story of a few heroes standing up to the evil mass. Well from where I stand this movie is a simple retelling of a story and has aboslutely no such connections as mentioned above. The Iranians complaining are really out of their minds. This is a movie, a story (a cool one at that) and nothing more. I think some people take themselves way to seriously….
