People were ranting or gushing or bashing or fawning over Frank Miller and Alan Moore, one called rightwing another leftwing big names in 2007 sometimes loved, the use of lots of CGI, Chroma key or green screen controversial, sometimes was hated and "300" accused of Racism, some critics loved it some hated it, in 2014 a sequel.
It's kind of weird how this movie never got canceled over Frank Miller being a fascist yet Harry Potter is constantly under scrutiny because JK Rowling has "problematic" opinions.
>watch 300 for the first time in April after years of ignoring it, assuming it's just an overly-edited action film >mfw it's actually a visually and narratively poetic story of an otherwise simple, base story
Based on how he's generally portrayed by the obsessive fanbase I wasn't expecting Leonidas to be as atriculate as he is. Just figured he was Spartaman, but there's a whole lot more going on. The amount of buildup to the famous well scene was amazing. Only major critique is how the Persians are portrayed. Maybe it's accurate to the novel, but they just seemed like low hanging fruit.
The way the Persians were portrayed is central to the narrative, since it is the one-eyed Spartan soldier demonization of the invading force.
There's a particular scene where the Spartans are killing scores of Persians soldiers, where some of the Persians soldiers are straight up replaced by scarecrows, as literal strawmen. Kinda of a not so subtle nod from the director.
In-universe propaganda. 300 is a story told by a soldier to pump up his comrades. Starship Troopers is a movie IN that universe. Like Videodrome is in-universe Videodrome.
Saw it in theaters when I was 16
I didn't care for it. I hated the stupid furry underwear bodybuilder shit most of all since at the time I already understood what Hellenic soldiers would have looked like.
Saw it in theaters. Still one of my favorites. It's perfectly styled - crisp and interesting. There's a focus more on action, less on bullshit dialogue. The visuals are breathtaking even as still images. The oracles, the wolf vs the king, the Persian ships - they could all exist as paintings. Frank Miller should be a fucking billionaire.
I'm a zoomer and I loved this kino
for me, it's "fight in the shade"

seeth cause obviously that would never get made these days
It was good and so was the sequel.
Also for those that enjoyed these I also recommend Dacii.

Frank Miller has the good sense of not posting 50 tweets about trannies every day
who cares if he's a fascist, as long as he keeps his mouth shut
Good goy.

I watched it at theaters with my gf at the time, I peed my pants and she got wet with Xerxes
Saw it in theaters with the lads. We took turns kicking each other in the chest in the parking lot after.
Yes because it's fucking great and filters most people
The sequel sucks don't get tricked. It's always been Cinemaphile who's recommended to me the worst movies i ever saw.
It's not that bad but it's nowhere near as good as the first. Good things
>eva green sex scene
>xerxes weird magic shit
I remember some 2 hours long flanderization, it was like a parody of the first.
Shut up homosexual
So how many people miss the point of the film to this day? It's like Starship Troopers.
>It's like Starship Troopers.
Misinterpreted by the director?

Far out man.
It's literally piss easy entry-tier media analysis, yet so many people get filtered. You didn't get filtered, did you anon?
I've never actually seen Starship Troopers. It was rated R and I wasn't allowed.
You should watch it, it's a really good movie. It's both god tier action and cheeky satire.
FOR THE GLORY RAUL RAUL RAUL!!!!
Come on man you're making me want to rewatch 300
chud the movie
Directx installation the movie
do you piss yourself when you're happy, op? most people don't do that.

Reminder that 300 is a movie based on a comic based on a movie based on a novel based on Herodotus
