300

Who has seen 300!? All the guys at my high school are obsessed with it leaving all the girls in their usual speculation, not really getting it. Just like Star Wars.

It was nice to see some more good 'ol Greek culture at the movies (Yes, I know Gen lives in a 'Byzantine world, but deep down, we all know its Greek at heart tehehehe.)

I'm actually not sure how many other guys lurk or contribute to this community...who else liked 300? I thought it was pretty inspiring.

I'm glad with how many of you liked it.
As far as accuracy, several historical scholars saw the movie and were surprised at how accurate it was.

Sometimes a movie doesn't have to be deep or anything; Warner Bros. stated that 300 was made purely to entertain, not give any political or cultural message.

But still, it gave a great lesson; to try your hardest against the most overwhelming of odds.

And yes, every frame was digital beauty! Leonidas was pretty hardcore as well.
"This is Sparta!"

I meant as story-wise, not miniscule things like the shape of thier swords.

OH NO, not Dr. Tran.

I had totally forgotten about that. It was a little traumatizing...
