Movie of the week: 300 (2007)



Ancient greeks, kicking ass..

Big screen and faithful adaptation of the historically-inspired graphic novel series written and illustrated by Frank Miller. This is a retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas of Sparta. 300 was particularly inspired by the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, a movie that Miller watched as a young boy.

Worth watching for being visually stunning, catching up with your history and getting an overdose of washboard abs!
