Tyler Faldet Extra Credit: Film Review Assignment Professor Debauche 11/12/2012 300 Review Over the weekend I happened to rent a few movies to watch with friends at my home back in Iola Wisconsin. I also had hopes that one of them would give me a lot of information, along with motivation, to write a review on using the different concepts that we have talked about in class. So way back in 2007 the American film 300, directed by Zack Snyder, and staring popular film stars such as Gerald Butler,

by Frank Miller. Now, as I deserve, I get "300," based on another work by Miller. Of the earlier film, I wrote prophetically: "This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids." They must have been buying steroids wholesale for "300." Every single male character, including the hunchback, has the muscles of a finalist for Mr. Universe. Both films are faithful to Miller's plots and drawings. "300," I learn, reflects the book almost panel-by-panel

style of the blockbuster "300," this new section of the epic saga makes the move to another battle zone on the sea as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) tries to unite all of Greece by driving the charge that will change the course of the war. It pits Themistokles against the monstrous striking Persian powers drove by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), wild force of the Persian oceanic force. After its triumph over Leonidas' 300, the Persian Army beneath

critique on is Zack Snyder’s 300. 300 is a film about King Leonidas, the King of Sparta, and his 300 Spartan warriors who all stood up against the God-king Xerxes and his massive Persian army from annihilation. After watching the film very closely for my critique I believe there is a serious underlying theme that everyone has the right to be free and sometimes you have to stand up and make sacrifices to keep your freedom. Standing up for freedom is never an easy task as shown in 300 but, everyone deserves

There is no doubt that Zack Snyder is very capable of making a wonderful film, with all of the actions and the graphics that he gave us within the hit movie 300, released in 2007. As much of a hit as the movie was, it was also riddled with historical inaccuracies. Three of such that were rather large towards the end of the movie were that only the three hundred Spartans stayed to battle, when the death of Leonidas actually took place, and when Epialtes and the men that he’d lead to the back of the

courageous, selfless, strong, leader, determined and perseverance. This idea is proven in Wolfgang Petersen’s film Troy and Zack Snyder’s film 300. Both films portray a character that embodies the image of a hero, Prince Hector and King Leonidas and Anit-hero/villains who are greedy and inspired by wealth, fame, and or power, Achilles and Xerxes. The theme of Heroism in 300 and Troy are similar because they both exhibit a common philosophy of Immortalization of oneself vs the protection of ones homeland and

Summary Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer’s film “Meet the Spartans,” is a parody imitation of the well-known film “300,” by Zach Snyder. The plot of the film “Meet the Spartans,” is a caricature representation of “300” and is revolved around Xerxes’s plans to invade the Greek city-state of Sparta with his army numbering up to millions, and threating the people of Sparta with not only slavery, but also death in order to try and extend his empire. Furthermore, Friedberg, as well as Seltzer depict

There is a reason Sparta is still known for their military dominates today. Sparta made up the formation called the phalanx. The phalanx consisted of a tight group of soldiers each holding a shield that interlocked with his neighbor’s, each man carrying a short sword and a thrusting spear.
