MMM, no clear title

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2007)

1. 300 The legendary movie of the year, worth watching 300 times. This was the review that was visible in the newspapers I could get my hands on. I began watching the movie, with just more than Lil hope, that it would do justice to itself. I could see well build athletic men, walking with stupendous beauties on the screen, The stupidity or rather bravery, bravery is some times the other name of stupidity, Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C is the plot, why 300 men were deployed to fight the Persian army. Leave apart all that, I can see even an Imax version of the film is being made. I could not believe that they even made so many mistakes which are jump cuts, I could spot at least 5 of it. The bleach by pass technology is used to perfection to have the gritty look. The cinematography department has done a competitive job.
My aim is not to talk about the film. But to talk about the underlying message of the film. Through out the film, I could see that Persians are portrayed as evil, devil worshipers, womanizers, people with no morals and no values, which I could not stand, in these days of growing intolerance in the name of color is this actually needed. It's a sort of cultural assassination. I agree half the people who sees the movie know that its based on a graphic novel by frank miller, that's the justification for the use. But still its portrayal of history, I believe that film makers can show their versions, they have the freedom. But why exaggerate this to this much horrible level.
Watch if u are of a typical taste.
