[Movie] 300

Yes, I am a film major. Yes, I enjoyed this movie.

Anything that was trite and cliche about this movie didn't really bother me in least (especially being based upon history). If the dialogue was really weak, it didn't really bother me due to the intensity of it's delivery. I really enjoyed the level of the audio in the movie and combined with the massive visual presentation, I couldn't imagine seeing it outside a theater; I don't think the experience would be the same.

The visuals really appealed to me (though perhaps more as an illustrator/artist than a filmmaker), the whole thing seemed like some sort of grand painting. Near the end when they reveal the arrowed/body filled field, the colors in the red capes were so rich and beautiful. It basically seemed like a living oil painting.

As far as the slow motion, I didn't see a problem with it per se. It seemed more fitting of a comic-adaptation movie. I also hate fast paced action movies where the editing is so quick you have no idea what the fuck is going on. The alternating slow/normal/fast motion of the movie gave it an interesting visual rhythm that I found quite enjoyable. And the score was pretty cool as well. Money well spent in my opinion.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
