Today, I'll be talking about a movie made entirely with green screens: 300
This is based on the true story of the greek-persian battle of Thermopylae, where, against the will of the sacred council of elders, King Leonidas led 300 of his soldiers against the Persian empire, which ruled much of Europe and Asia at the time. They first came to threaten the greek city of Sparta to surrender, but they weren't Athenians; they had a way of not giving up. Maybe that's because they're known to be history's greatest warriors. Unlike the Hunger Games, no one would say to them "may the odds be ever in your favor" because they fought when they were told not to by the council. Actually, when you watch the movie, you'll realize how close they were to actually winning a battle of 300 spartans against a million persian warriors. They didn't clarify what it was that Leonidas kicked the messengers into. It was meant to be a well, but it looked so big, it was more like a pit of doom. They learned that they were in Sparta just before they fell to their deaths. The battles were magnificent and well made, and they taught you just how powerful the Spartans really were. It was good how it was adapted from the book. The book took me about 20 minutes to read. The movie was extended, so it included a whole important role for the queen, which I thought was a good idea. This entire action film was full of blood, death and sadness, but it also had glory, strength and even b its of comedy. Anyone who dislikes this movie should be kicked down a well too. I give it an A.
I have to see this to find out if you would kick me down a well. I think the answer might be yes. Will you watch it with me?
