Saw 300. Loved 300. Must see 300 again.

Gerard Butler has always captivated my attention, even when in such duds as Dracula 2000 and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (thatapos;s too many titles for one movie, people). But I did highly enjoy Timeline. Because, like Chrys, I cannot say no to a movie with a sword fight. I love Medieval History, and Timeline had swords, Frances Oapos;Connor, and Gerard Butler. For Gerard Butler, I even tolerated The Phantom of The Opera.

Pause.
Pow and I have this joke regarding Phantom of The Opera:
"From the creator of apos;Catsapos;. And the director of apos;St. Elmoapos;s Fireapos; and apos;Batman and Robinapos;. Comes... Phantom of The Opera"
Un-pause.

I must confess Iapos;ve never read the comic book, nor cared much for the story behind Sparta. I do know the Greek revolt against tyranny or whatever the hell it was, but thatapos;s not why I watched the movie.

Having seen Sin City, I had great faith in what Frank Miller can bring to the table in terms of cinema, especially in comic book adaptations.

300 is visually breathtaking.

Remember when you first saw The Matrix? The first movie? That kind of "whoa" feeling of watching magic happen onscreen? Thatapos;s what watching 300 feels like. Director Zack Snyder gives us plenty to be grateful for.

Yes, there are several times that the slow motion just didnapos;t make sense anymore, but during the action sequences? Oh lordy. That was well worth every penny I paid for the ticket.

The wonderful bit about 300 is that for one moment you actually forget that these are actors in a movie. During fight sequences you donapos;t see actors doing choreographed fight movements (hello, Keanu vs. The 100+ Agent Smiths), but 300 Spartans getting down and dirty with the enemy to protect their land.

And we finally saw Faramir be the hottie we all know he was in Lord of The Rings. Iapos;m sorry, thatapos;s David Wenham. Dammit, he will always be Faramir to me.

And how insanely ripped were those Spartans? Eye candy.

I got carried away, didnapos;t I?

The story of 300 is the story of King Leonidas who takes 300 (or 299?) of his Spartan soldiers on a "walk", to protect his land from Persian forces, as well as the struggles of the people around him to deal with this little bit of fighting. But you donapos;t really care for the story. You care for the fighting. And the characters.

Because itapos;s really the characters that direct us through this film. We feel for them, we really want the Spartans to succeed, despite their vast lack of numbers. More than just rooting for the underdog, we want the Spartans to win because their fight is a noble one, and itapos;s a fight we all have within ourselves. To protect what we care for. To protect what we love. Itapos;s just that in their case, they care about and love their country. Their Sparta. Ours is smaller in scale, but hopefully just as noble.




And for one brief moment completely forget that Battlestar Galactica killed Starbuck.
