Video Assignment on 300 The movie I selected for my movie review is 300 by Zach Snyder which represents the story of the brave 300 Spartans who fought bravely to their death, know that would be the end result. The movie stars Gerard Butler as king Leonidas and his wife Queen Gorgo as Lena Headey. Also another important actor is Dominic West who plays Theron a traitor of Sparta who is trying to delay the Queen or override her attentions of convincing the council to assembly an army against the Persians. This movie which came out in 2006 is a colored version based on the event that took place in 480 B.C. I selected this movie because after reading about the bravery of the Spartans and how much they training they put into making there warriors the most fiercest the planets ever seen it seemed like a good movie to watch. Although the movie 300 is a great movie some of the depictions that are shown in the movie are not accurate to the true events that took place, only leaving some details that are the same in history.
300 by Zach Snyder convey the well-known story of the battle that took place in Thermopylae in 480 B.C. also known as the battle of Thermopylae. The movie starts off with Persia storming across the globe destroying and capturing every country in its path. When king Xerxes of Persia sends a messenger to Leonidas offer a peace treaty and promises if Leonidas bows down to Persian he will have total control over Sparta and Greece. But Leonidas refuses kicking the messenger into a well simultaneously causing a war between Persia and Sparta. King Leonidas hears news of Persia assembling an army to come destroy Sparta after they declined Persia’s treaty in a brutal way. This leads to King Leonidas assembly some of Sparta’s best 300 warriors along with himself as they are attempting to slow down the strong Persia force of 10,000, meanwhile King Leonidas wife Queen Gorgo attempts to convince Sparta’s head council to send more troops to stop Persia,
