300

300
300 è il numero di spartani che si opposero al re persiano Serse nel 480 A.C. Questa pellicola narra infatti di una storia realmente accaduta, di una battaglia epica combattuta al passo delle Termopili che vedeva contrapporsi 300 spartani contro un milione di persiani. Re Serse, spinto dalla sua insaziabile sete di conquista, invia un messaggero in Grecia, a Sparta, che viene accolto dal re Leonida (G. Butler) e dalla regina Gorgo (L. Headey). Ma quando l’emissario pronuncia la parola 'sottomissione' decreta l’inizio della semi-disfatta per i persiani. Leonida, dopo aver ucciso il messaggero, decide di affrontare questa nuova minaccia chiamata Persia: dopo aver radunato 300 tra i migliori combattenti spartani si dirige allo stretto passo delle Termopili per contrastare il temibile nemico..
300 is less a movie and more a testosterone-fueled fever dream... like if a history class was taught by a bodybuilder on pre-workout and rage. Zack Snyder delivers two hours of oiled abs, slow-motion murder, and speeches shouted with the subtlety of a Spartan sword to the chest. It’s historically accurate in the same way pro wrestling is an Olympic sport, but who cares?
Gerard Butler growls every line like he’s gargling gravel, and the visuals are drenched in so much CGI and sepia it looks like the entire film was shot inside a protein powder factory. Subtle? No. Profound? God, no. Entertaining? Absolutely, if your brain’s had a few beers first.
It’s dumb, loud, glorious nonsense.
