300

300 is a movie about the fight of Leonidas- King of Sparta and his 300 brave soldiers against thousands of Persian soldiers of King Xerxes. The movie was made based on a true story of Leonidas; Also it is included some fictitious details to be more interesting.
Story about Sparta was famous northern city of Greece Laconia plain in the ancient age. There was brave king Leonidas who ruled. With all the attitude of his country, he refused to be an allied country of Persia and declined war against Xerxes- King of Persia. The movie was made based on his name which was raised to heroic status as a result of the events in the Battle of Thermopylae.
The most interesting is the movie is the fight of Leonidas and his men. The scene is so fantastic with the audio and visual techniques. The backgrounds of the battlefield in the movies were stretched out of the eyes making the audiences feeling it a giant battle. This effect created a contrary between Spartan soldiers and a number of full-equipped soldiers of Persia. That is a great effect in making war-movies which Zack Snyder-the director of 300- is good at.
