His Gothic, camp-free revamp of DC Comics' mainstay "Batman", "The Dark Knight Returns", provided the brooding template for Tim Burton's "Batman" (1989). "300" captures the hyper-stylized look and peculiar sensibility of Graphic Novels on film., that has eluded many a talented director.Īlong with British Graphic Novelist Alan Moore ("From Hell", "V for Vendetta"), Frank Miller is regarded as one of the masters of the genre. Outstanding Historical Tale With Graphic Novel Flair !!
Who starred in the movie 300 movie#
If you are the type that gets sick easily when you see alot of blood or body parts flying every where, this probably isn't the movie for you. I would definatly recommend this movie if you are a fan of action packed movies. Although this movie doesn't have any big name actors, they play their parts amazingly well. So king Leonidas promises him that he will feel pain. When he finally meets Xerxes, Xerxes thinks that he can not be defeated or even feel pain. So King Leonidas takes 300 of his best soldiers to face the invaders. In the movie the so called gods want let Sparta raise an army to face the Persian invaders lead by god-king Xerxes. This movie follows the story of king Leonidas (from birth to death). It will tell you what parts are true and what parts are fiction in the special features area of the DVD. Alot of the movie is actually true, like at the beginning when it tells how the spartans became warriors and other parts of the movie. It probably isn't a movie that you would let a little kid watch, because it has alot of blood and gore in it. Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading! :) Perhaps more significantly, historians generally agree that had Greece fallen, the course of Western Civilization would have been irreversibly altered, since it was considered to be the gateway to a Persian conquest of all of Europe.
Although the ill-fated Spartans fought to the death, they were nonetheless credited with saving the day, because they created a delay which enabled Athens to prevail ultimately against the savage invaders. As a consequence of this clever tactic, his small, but determined army managed to hold the thundering herd at bay for three days, exacting a heavy toll on rival King Xerxes' (Rodrigo Santoro) troops in the process. Leonidas' ingenious strategy was to station his soldiers at the narrowest point in the road of the treacherous terrain through which the Persians would have to pass. Though badly outnumbered by adversaries whose strength was said to be in the hundreds of thousands, the Greeks made one of the most famous last stands in the annals of military engagements. In mid-September of 480 BC, a force of 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), along with 700 Thespians volunteers, defended Greece against a massive horde of marauders from Persia at the epic Battle of Thermopylae. Lena Headey, Vincent Regan, Gerard Butlerįeatures Actors:Gerald Buttler, Rodrigo Santoro Though there are scenes that demonstrate the humanity of the characters, 300 is undeniably about bravery and blood, and it succeeds because of the stylish depictions of both. She matches her warrior husband in strength, while showing love toward Leonidas and their son. In a film filled with men, Headley stands out as Queen Gorgo.
Though the cast doesn't boast any A-list stars, the actors ably fill their larger-than-life roles. David Wenham, who starred in two of the Tolkien-based films, plays Dilios, one of the Spartan soldiers. The huge fights in 300 rival Jackson's efforts in the LORD OF THE RINGS films. Jackson also got his start in horror with BAD TASTE and DEAD ALIVE, and the two men share a penchant for ambitious battle scenes. Meanwhile, his wife (Lena Headley, THE BROTHERS GRIMM) campaigns in Sparta for the city to send reinforcements as she butts heads with the treacherous Theron (Dominic West, THE WIRE).With its gore and scale, 300 marks director Snyder as a possible successor to Peter Jackson's throne.
Instead, Leonidas leads his 300-strong army against Xerxes's army of millions. The city is famous for its warrior philosophy, and Leonidas won't kneel to the demands of Persia's King Xerxes (LOST's Rodrigo Santoro). Gerard Butler (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) plays Leonidas, the king of ancient Sparta. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive visual spectacle. Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde.
