Review of 300

300 (2006)
Heart-Rendingly Beautiful & Unusually Resonant for Modern Times
24 February 2007
It has been a while since a movie's moved me enough to write about it on IMDb.com, but this movie takes the cake. And while, as you will hear from every reviewer, its visuals are staggering, its acting fierce, its battle scenes unprecedented in movie history, and its graphic effects and story polyglot and stunning, what resonated with me the most about this film- surprising, since the visuals can punch you and leave you forgetting everything else- is the history and story behind it all.

For, in today's world, we battle terrorism and those who would seek to destroy freedom, democracy, knowledge, and the right to earn one's way in a lawful society. This film speaks to an age-old battle between what is good and what is evil. Truly timeless.
