300 is an excellent movie. It is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel; but is a true story. The movie is based on the famous battle of Thermopylae that took place around 485 BC. There were 300 Spartans vs. about 200,000 Persians. They held their ground for 3 days. Have you heard the phrase, "you want it, come get it," it comes from the Spartan leader Leonidas who said that to the persians when they told him to surrender.
Aside from being a historic movie, the cinemetography is unbelievable. I actually purchased the DVD, which says something because I rarely do that.
