A ! Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2007)

It's not because I am Greek, but I rate the movie well beyond 10... It's a classical masterpiece.
It depicts the passion and the bravery a free man can achieve, only by being free and fighting for his rights.
In a world where people kill for money, in a world where the ideas of brotherhood, righteousness, ethic, honesty and religion tend to be overwhelmed by a constant perversion of every aspect of life, the Spartans show us the way. The only way. The way of Virtue, just like the one Hercules chose to walk.
In Greece we have a word for it... "dobrosini". Can't be translated exactly in English but "directness" is the meaning... Being honest, and straight. Abiding by the laws of virtue and being immovable when defending them. Being Leonidas and not Ephialtes...
Surely a great movie. Surely a movie that made me founder in a deep consideration... So as to change many things that make me too behave like Ephialtes.
