Let the truth be known: I find great artistry in the movie 300. In fact, it is something of a fascist masterpiece. I only wish the one scene that shows “heart” (the Captain sobbing over the death of his son), which I feel was forced in by a worried producer, could be taken out. Then the movie would be pure. Beautiful, glorious, evil and pure.
Zack Snyder is a remarkable visual storyteller and, if you look for it, has a decent sense of humor.
If you watch some of the bonus features, you’ll almost be convinced you are watching something with historical relevance.
I think 300 is almost as wonderful as Starship Troopers.
