Plot

A Spartan orator named Dilios narrates of the young Leonidas undergoing his childhood training, explaining the rigors of Spartan life. Leonidas is cast out into the wild, and survives the harsh winter to return to his home, when he is crowned King. Dilios then tells of when a group of Persian messengers arrive at Sparta, demanding Sparta's submission to King Xerxes. Outraged and offended at their behavior, King Leonidas kicks the messenger into a pit, shouting by way of explanation, "This is Sparta!!!" the other messengers are also cast into the pit. Resolving to face the Persians, Leonidas visits the Oracle, proposing a strategy to repel the numerically superior enemy, and offers the priests a customary payment in gold. The priests, called Ephors, having already been bribed by Xerxes, interpret the Oracle's message to mean that Sparta should not go to war, so as to not interrupt the sacred Carneian festival.

King Leonidas fighting soldiers of the Persian Empire
King Leonidas fighting soldiers of the Persian Empire

Despite the warning, Leonidas gathers 300 of his best soldiers to fight the Persians, selecting only those who have already sired male children, so that their family name can continue even after their death. As they march north, they are joined by a group of Arcadians and other Greeks. Arriving at the narrow cliffs of Thermopylae (referred to as the "Hot Gates"), in sight of the Persian army, they build a wall to halt the Persians' advance. Ephialtes, a hunchbacked Spartan whose parents had fled to save him from customary infanticide, approaches Leonidas, requesting to redeem his father's name in battle, and warning him about a secret goat path that the Persians could use to surround them. Leonidas turns him away as his inability to properly hold the shield would create a weak spot in the phalanx. Before the battle starts, the Persians ask that the 300 drop their arms. Leonidas responds; "Persians! Come and get them!" The Spartans use the phalanx formation, the narrow terrain, and their fighting skill with shield, spear and sword to effectively fight off numerically superior waves of attackers including Xerxes's elite guards, the Immortals. The 300 defend their position while suffering relatively few losses. Xerxes, impressed after the two armies' first engagement, personally approaches Leonidas and attempts to bribe him with wealth and power in exchange for his surrender. The Spartan king declines, saying that he will instead make the "God King" bleed. Two days after the fighting begins, an embittered Ephialtes reveals the location of the goat path to Xerxes, having been promised a lucrative and powerful position in the Persian Empire.

Xerxes encourages Leonidas to surrender
Xerxes encourages Leonidas to surrender

Back in Sparta, Queen Gorgo, upon the advice of a councilman, attempts to enlist the influential Theron to help her persuade the Spartan council to send reinforcements to Leonidas. Theron agrees to help, but demands that Gorgo submit sexually to him; Gorgo reluctantly consents to his advances. Meanwhile, the Greeks realize that Ephialtes has betrayed them, and the Arcadians decide to retreat in the face of certain death. The Spartans refuse to follow, obedient to their law. Leonidas orders only one man, Dilios, to retreat and use his rhetorical skills to tell the story of the 300 to the Spartan people, ensuring that they be remembered. Dilios reluctantly leaves with the Arcadians. At Sparta, Queen Gorgo appears in front of the council, but is not supported by Theron, who furthermore accuses her of adultery. The Queen, enraged at this betrayal, snatches a sword from a nearby soldier and kills Theron. Persian coins fall from his purse, the Council denounces him as a traitor, and unites against Persia.

At Thermopylae, the Persians have surrounded the 300 on all sides. Xerxes's spokesman demands their surrender, saying that Leonidas may keep his title as King of Sparta and become warlord of all Greece, answerable only to Xerxes. When Leonidas orders his man to cut down the messenger, Xerxes orders his troops to attack. The remaining Spartans are killed in the hail of arrows; Leonidas finally falling after delivering on his promise to "make the 'God King' bleed", wounding him on the cheek with a thrown spear. The Persian king is visibly shaken at this reminder of his own mortality. Dilios eventually returns to Sparta and inspires the council with the bravery of the 300. Sparta was an important Greek city-state in the Peloponnesus. ...


Dilios finishes his tale on a new battlefield surrounded by raptly listening soldiers. He concludes that the Persian army, who lost countless numbers defeating a mere 300 Spartans a year earlier, must now be terrified to face 10,000 Spartans and 30,000 Greeks from the other city-states.

Producer Gianni Nunnari was not the only person planning a film about the Battle of Thermopylae; director Michael Mann already planned a film of the battle based on the book Gates of Fire. Nunnari discovered Frank Miller's graphic novel 300, which impressed him enough to acquire the film rights.[1][2] 300 was jointly produced by Nunnari and Mark Canton, and Michael B. Gordon wrote the script.[3] Director Zack Snyder was hired in June 2004[4] as he had attempted to make a film on Miller's novel before making his debut with the remake of Dawn of the Dead,[5] Snyder then got Screenwriter Kurt Johnstad to rewrite Gordon's script for production[4] and Frank Miller was retained as consultant and executive producer.[6] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 678 × 599 pixel Image in higher resolution (750 × 663 pixel, file size: 89 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) A comparison of the same scene from 300 (film) (2007) and 300 (comic) (1998) Source: Original comparison and the resized image that is...

The film is a shot-for-shot adaptation of the comic book, similar to the film adaptation of Sin City.[7] Snyder photocopied panels from the comic book, from which he planned the preceding and succeeding shots. "It was a fun process for me... to have a frame as a goal to get to," he said.[8] Like the comic book, the adaptation also used the character Dilios as a narrator. Snyder used this narrative technique to show the audience that the surreal "Frank Miller world" of 300 was related from a subjective perspective. By utilizing Dilios' gift of storytelling, he is able to introduce fantasy elements into the film, explaining that "Dilios is a guy who knows how not to wreck a good story with truth."[9] Snyder also added the sub-plot in which Queen Gorgo attempts to rally support for her husband.[10] Shot-for-shot (or shot-for-shot adaptation, shot-for-shot representation) is a term used to describe a visual work that is transferred almost completely identical from the original work without much interpretations. ...

Two months of pre-production were required to create hundreds of shields, spears and swords, some of which were recycled from Troy and Alexander. An animatronic wolf and 13 animatronic horses were also created. The actors trained alongside the stuntmen, and even Snyder joined in. Upwards of 600 costumes were created for the film, as well as extensive prosthetics for various characters and the corpses of Persian soldiers.[11] Pre-production is the process of preparing all the elements involved in a film, play, or other performance. ...

300 entered active production on October 17, 2005 in Montreal,[12] and was shot over the course of 60 days[11] in chronological order[10] with a budget of $60 million.[13] Employing the digital backlot technique, Snyder shot at the now-defunct Icestorm Studios in Montreal using bluescreens. Butler said that while he didn't feel constrained by Snyder's direction, fidelity to the comic imposed certain limitations on his performance. Wenham said there were times when Snyder wanted to precisely capture iconic moments from the comic book, and other times when he gave actors freedom "to explore within the world and the confines that had been set".[14] Headey said of her experience with the bluescreens, "It's very odd, and emotionally, there's nothing to connect to apart from another actor."[15] Only one scene, in which horses travel across the countryside, was shot outdoors.[16] The film was an intensely physical production, and Butler pulled an arm tendon and developed a foot drop.[17] is the 290th day of the year (291st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Post-production was handled by Montreal's Meteor Studios and Hybride Technologies filled in the bluescreen footage with more than 1500 visual effects shots. Chris Watts and Jim Bissell created a process dubbed "The Crush,"[11] which allowed the Meteor artists to manipulate the colors by increasing the contrast of light and dark. Certain sequences were desaturated and tinted to establish different moods. Ghislain St-Pierre, who led the team of artists, described the effect: "Everything looks realistic, but it has a kind of a gritty illustrative feel."[11][18] Various computer programs, including Maya, RenderMan and RealFlow, were used to create the "spraying blood."[19] The post-production lasted for a year and was handled by a total of ten special effects companies.[20] Post production is the general term for the last stage of film production in which photographed scenes (also called footage) are put together into a complete film. ...

Soundtrack

Main article: 300 (soundtrack)

In July 2005, composer Tyler Bates had begun work on the film, describing the score as having, "beautiful themes on the top and large choir," but "tempered with some extreme heaviness." The composer had scored for a test scene that the director wanted to show to Warner Bros. to illustrate the path of the project. Bates said that the score had "a lot of weight and intensity in the low end of the percussion" that Snyder found agreeable to the film.[21] The score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and features the vocals of Azam Ali.[22] A standard edition and a special edition of the soundtrack containing 25 tracks was released on March 6, 2007, with the special edition containing a 16-page booklet and three two-sided trading cards.[23] 300 is the soundtrack to the 2007 film 300. ...

The score has given rise to some controversy in the film composer community, garnering criticism for its striking similarity to several other recent soundtracks, including James Horner and Gabriel Yared's work for the film Troy. The heaviest borrowings are allegedly from Elliot Goldenthal's 1999 score for Titus. "Remember Us," from 300, is identical in parts to the the "Finale" from Titus, and "Returns A King" is similar to the cue "Victorius Titus."[24][25][26] Commentators have also noted that the melody of "Message for the Queen" is identical to the song "Zajdi, zajdi" by composer Aleksandar Sarievski.[27][28] Macedonian portal On.net published a response by Tyler Bates, who claims that he "can't say there is a specific source of inspiration for the cue."[29] James Roy Horner (born August 14, 1953) is an American composer of orchestral and film music. ...

Historical accuracy

300's director Zack Snyder stated in an MTV interview that "The events are 90 percent accurate. It's just in the visualization that it's crazy.... I've shown this movie to world-class historians who have said it's amazing. They can't believe it's as accurate as it is." He continues that the film is "an opera, not a documentary. That's what I say when people say it's historically inaccurate".[30] However he is quoted in a BBC News story that the film is, at its core "a fantasy film."[31] He also describes the film's narrator, Dilios, as "a guy who knows how not to wreck a good story with truth."[9] BBC News is the department within the BBC responsible for the corporations news-gathering and production of news programmes on BBC television, radio and online. ...

He praises the film for its portrayal of "the Spartans' heroic code," and of "the key role played by women in backing up, indeed reinforcing, the male martial code of heroic honor," while expressing reservations about its "'West' (goodies) vs 'East' (baddies) polarization."[32] Cartledge writes that he enjoyed the film, although he found Leonidas' description of the Athenians as "boy lovers" ironic, given his views on the institutional pederasty of the Spartan educational system.[33] Paul Cartledge is a Professor of Greek History at Cambridge University, and a fellow of Clare College. ...

Ephraim Lytle, assistant professor of Hellenistic History at the University of Toronto, states that 300 selectively idealizes Spartan society in a "problematic and disturbing" fashion, as well as portraying the "hundred nations of the Persians" as monsters and non-Spartan Greeks as weak. He suggests that the film's moral universe would have seemed as "bizarre to ancient Greeks as it does to modern historians."[34] The University of Toronto (U of T) is a coeducational public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. ...

Victor Davis Hanson, formerly professor of Classical history at California State University, Fresno, who wrote the foreword to a 2007 re-issue of the graphic novel, states that the film demonstrates a specific affinity with the original material of Herodotus in that it captures the martial ethos of ancient Sparta and represents Thermopylae as a "clash of civilizations". He remarks that Simonides, Aeschylus and Herodotus viewed Thermopylae as a battle against "Eastern centralism and collective serfdom", which opposed "the idea of the free citizen of an autonomous polis".[35] He further states that the film portrays the battle in a "surreal" manner, and that the intent was to "entertain and shock first, and instruct second."[36] Victor Davis Hanson giving a lecture at Kenyon College. ...

Touraj Daryaee, associate professor of Ancient History at California State University, Fullerton, criticizes the central theme of the movie, that of "free" and "democracy loving" Spartans against "slave" Persians. Daryaee states that the Achaemenid (Persian) empire hired and paid people regardless of their sex or ethnicity, whereas in fifth-century Athens "less than 14%" of the population participated in democratic government, and "nearly 37%" of the population were slaves. He further states that Sparta "was a militaristic monarchy with a council of elders which decided political matters, but it was not a democracy."[37] There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...

Reviews

Since its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 14, 2007, in front of 1,700 audience members, 300 has received generally mixed reviews. While it received a standing ovation at the public premiere,[66] it was reportedly panned at a press screening hours earlier, where many attendees left during the showing and those who remained booed at the end.[67] In North America, critical reviews of 300 are divided. On Rottentomatoes.com, it has a 61% approval rating from listed critics and 49% from its "Cream of the Crop."[68] On MetaCritic.com, 300 received a rating of 51/100 based on 34 reviews, resulting in "Mixed or Average Reviews" status.[69] One of the A festivals in Europe. ...

A number of critical reviews appeared in major American newspapers. A.O. Scott of the New York Times describes 300 as "about as violent as Apocalypto and twice as stupid," as well as criticizing its color scheme and suggesting that its plot includes racist undertones.[75] Kenneth Turan writes in the Los Angeles Times that "unless you love violence as much as a Spartan, Quentin Tarantino or a video-game-playing teenage boy, you will not be endlessly fascinated."[76] Some Greek newspapers have been particularly critical, such as film critic Robby Eksiel saying that moviegoers would be dazzled by the "digital action" but irritated by the "pompous interpretations and one-dimensional characters."[77][63] This is a partial list of newspapers printed and distributed within the United States. ...

Awards/Nominations

At the MTV Movie Awards 2007, 300 was nominated for Best Movie, Best Performance for Gerard Butler, Best Breakthrough Performance for Lena Headey, Best Villain for Rodrigo Santoro, and Best Fight for Leonidas battling "the Uber Immortal".[78] It eventually won the award for Best Fight.

Controversy

Prior to the release of 300, Warner Brothers expressed concerns about the political aspects of the film's theme. Snyder relates that "There was a huge sensitivity about East versus West with the studio."[80] Media speculation about a possible parallel between the Greco-Persian conflict and current events began in an interview with Snyder that was conducted before the Berlin Film Festival.[81] The interviewer remarked that "everyone is sure to be translating this [film] into contemporary politics." Snyder replied that, while he was aware that people would read the film through the lens of contemporary events, no parallels between the film and the contemporary world were intended.[82]


Outside the current political parallels, some critics have raised more general questions about the film's ideological orientation. The New York Post's Kyle Smith writes that the film would have pleased "Adolf's boys,"[83] and Slate's Dana Stevens compares the film to The Eternal Jew, "as a textbook example of how race-baiting fantasy and nationalist myth can serve as an incitement to total war".[84] Roger Moore, a critic for the Orlando Sentinel, matches 300 to Susan Sontag's definition of "fascist art."[85] The New York Post is the 13th-oldest newspaper published in the United States and the oldest to have been published continually as a daily. ...

Fascism (in Italian, fascismo), capitalized, was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. ...


However, Newsday critic Gene Seymour states that such reactions are misguided, writing that "the movie's just too darned silly to withstand any ideological theorizing."[86] Snyder himself dismisses ideological readings, suggesting that reviewers who critique a "graphic novel movie about a bunch of guys...stomping the snot out of each other" using words like " 'neocon,' 'homophobic,' 'homoerotic' or 'racist' " are "missing the point."[87] Newsday is a daily tabloid-size newspaper that primarily serves Long Island and the New York City borough of Queens, although it is sold throughout the New York City metropolitan area. ...

Since its opening, 300 has also attracted controversy over its portrayal of people of the Persian Empire. Various critics, historians, journalists, and officials of the Iranian government including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad[88] have denounced the film.[89][90][91] As in the graphic novel, the Persians are depicted as a monstrous, barbaric and demonic horde, and King Xerxes is portrayed as androgynous.[92][93] Critics have suggested that this is meant to stand in stark contrast to the masculinity of the Spartan army.[94] Steven Rea argues that the film's Persians are a vehicle for an anachronistic cross-section of Western stereotypes of Asian and African cultures.[95] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The film's portrayal of ancient Persians caused a particularly strong reaction in Iran.[96] Azadeh Moaveni of Time reports that Tehranis were "outraged" following the film's release. Moaveni identifies two factors which may have contributed to the intense reaction: its release on the eve of Norouz, the Persian New Year, and a common Iranian view of the Achaemenid Empire as "a particularly noble page in their history."[97][98][99] Various Iranian officials condemned the film.[100][101][102][103] The Iranian Academy of the Arts submitted a formal complaint against the movie to UNESCO, labelling it an attack on the historical identity of Iran.[104][105] The Iranian mission to the U.N. protested the film in a press release,[106] and Iranian embassies protested its screening in France, Thailand, Turkey and Uzbekistan.[107][108][109][110] For information about all peoples of Iran, see Demographics of Iran; for Central Asian Persians, see Tajiks. ...

In response to the criticisms, a Warner Bros. spokesman stated that the film 300 "is a work of fiction inspired by the Frank Miller graphic novel and loosely based on an historical event. The studio developed this film purely as a fictional work with the sole purpose of entertaining audiences; it is not meant to disparage an ethnicity or culture or make any sort of political statement."[96] The term political statement is usually used to refer to any act or non verbal form of communication that is intended to convey a political message. ...
