for the movie 300

Movie: 300
Director: Zack Snyder
Genre: Action
Cast: Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, David Wenham, Vincent Regan, Michael Fassbender, Tom Wisdom, Andrew Pleavin, Andrew Tiernan, Rodrigo Santoro

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Millers (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

I must say man has evovled from nothing to something. After watching this movie my views are man has grown from being strong to being weaker by the day. For the spartans glory was about death, for the women of spartons it was about they giving birth to real men, who fight against all odds and for the kids it was the passion of fighting till death. Its a marvellous movie with amazing graphic novel style rendering. The highlights as in a graphic novel are well depicted. A must watch for any graphic artist who has an eye for such a style of work!
