300 graphic novel vs movie
300 – This is madness. This is Sparta.

The Movie 300: What Do You Think About The Controversy?

The movie, 300 based on Frank Miller's graphic novel recently opened up a lot of controversy. It is loosely based on the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 years as a outnumner Spartan army of 300 defeated the Persian army under Xerxes The Great. Arguments against the movie: – It is a classic West (good) vs. East (bad guys). It is a struggle for democracy (Spartans) abrasion (Persians), a gross historical inaccuracy. – Undertones Racism: It portrays the Persians as brown or black people who are disabled and / or deformed. Xerxes is shown as androgynous in sharp contrast to the white masculine Spartans. – It's an excuse for American conservatism. The Spartans (read Americans) stand up for God and Country. Arguments for the movie – it's just a movie. There are no undertones of racism and Intolerance against Iran. Live with it! – It's a great story. Nobody in their right mind would believe that the Persians were animals or had rhinos to war.

Its just a movie. A fictional film with good and bad. Someone must be good, and someone must be evil. We fictitious Evil Russian bad guys vs. the good American, and I can imagine they have movies crank out the same purposes. Politics, intrigue, racism, lust, murder, hatred, love – is what fairy tales and fantasy books are composed. If you have a book with no struggle no cause, no obstacles to overcome – it is a dead book. Its crazy that this political correctness crowd tends to be all things, and talking something written or photographed as racist or xenophobic. A man can not even say "Hi", without any screaming some inane accusation. I tell ya .., the 21 century has started just crappy and its these idiots thats making problems where there are actually any situations where there is not. Thats the facts.

300 W/MOVIE WRISTBAND $27.96 Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive visual spectacle. Gerard Butler (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) plays Leonidas, the king of ancient Sparta. The city is famous for its warrior philosophy, and Leonidas won t kneel to the demands of Persia’s King Xerxes (LOST’s Rodrigo Santoro). Instead, Leonidas leads his 300-strong army against Xerxes’s army of millions. Meanwhile, his wife (Lena Headley, THE BROTHERS GRIMM) campaigns in Sparta for the city to send reinforcements as she butts heads with the treacherous Theron (Dominic West, THE WIRE).With its gore and scale, 300 marks director Snyder as a possible successor to Peter Jackson’s throne. Jackson also got his start in horror with BAD TASTE and DEAD ALIVE, and the two men share a penchant for ambitious battle scenes. The huge fights in 300 rival Jackson’s efforts in the LORD OF THE RINGS films. David Wenham, who starred in two of the Tolkien-based films, plays Dilios, one of the Spartan soldiers. Though the cast doesn’t boast any A-list stars, the actors ably fill their larger-than-life roles. In a film filled with men, Headley stands out as Queen Gorgo. She matches her warrior husband in strength, while showing love toward Leonidas and their son. Though there are scenes that demonstrate the humanity of the characters, 300 is undeniably about bravery and blood, and it succeeds because of the stylish depictions of both. Also includes collectible 300 wristband. Hurry! Quantities are limited, while supplies last.
