Poetry in motion. Refreshing, powerful performances, a simple story that makes a bold statement about freedom, honor, and respect. It has been a long time since a movie was done with such beauty in both acting and script... Women are not helpless wenches, and men are not simple warriors looking for hack and slash... These were Spartans!
Did you actually wonder why the actors at 300 looked or felt so familiar? Where they come from? Let's see...
The king, Leonidas, depicted by Gerard Buttler... who was the Phantom of the Opera at the same tittle movie, was Attila in the tv movie of Attila the Hun, and appeared in Beowulf & Grendel, Reign of Fire, and Tomb Raider Cradle of Life...
The queen, depicted by Lena Headey... who appeared in Brothers Grimm and the Cave, and who will be portraying Sarah Connor in the upcoming tv screenplay "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" which continues the saga of Terminator movies.
The captain, Vincent Regan, was seen in Troy, Unleashed and The Messenger: The story of Joan of Arc.
The one-eyed captain at the end of the movie, depicted by David Wenham, who appeared in Moulin Rouge and the last two movies of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Van Helsing.
And so, all the other actors have been part of movies within this genre... and seem interested in epics and stories based on the Dark Ages, science-fiction and fantasy.
Delightful movie, a must see for anyone... A movie that must be owned.
