300

Product Information

Insane amounts of opportunity to innovative with storytelling with comics and graphic novels. For example, one of my favorite panels is when you see the scene “POV” style (point of view) of King Leonidas. Yes. At least that's what 300 Spartans history tells us. The catchphrases that fill the movie were taken from the writings of the Greek historians Herodotus, Plutarch, and other sources. True to history quotes from the movie include Leonidas' response on the first day of battle when Xerxes demands that the Greeks surrender their arms. Leonidas replies, "Come and get them." Generals and politicians throughout history have recycled this phrase. It is also the emblem of the Greek 1st Army Corps. The "we shall fight in the shade" line from the movie is based on a phrase that a Spartan soldier named Dienekes uttered, after he was informed that the Persian arrows would be so numerous as "to blot out the sun". Essentially all you get here are the original 2007 Blu-ray extras, the audio commentary over on the 4K disc, and a digital code (copy) of the film in 4K. Now, don’t get me wrong, it is still as impressive of a set of bonus materials as it was 13 years ago, however, there has been another Blu-ray release of this film that consisted of new materials and that was all on “ The Complete Experience” Blu-ray rerelease from 2009. The extras that were new to that release aren’t found here, because it is essentially using (bundling) an outdated disc. A disc that very easily could have just been that 2009 disc, with all of the extras missing. Let me clarify a bit further. Cronan, Mark (August 14, 2006). "Review: "300" the movie".

You may have seen his most popular recasting of Batman as The Dark Knight. He can draw, but with good reason lets Lynn Varley do this book’s illustrations. He has an immense list of comic books and graphics novels to his credit and has even authored successful screenplays. He has been one of the creators and executive producers of the Netflix series, Cursed (based on his original graphic novel). His “dramatic chops” are on display here. Seymour, Gene (March 9, 2007).

Perhaps most recognizable from the movie 300 are Queen Gorgo's quotes that appeared in the Greek historian Plutarch's writings: Fun and exciting. A worthwhile story to be told, though the omission of the Thespians and other abuses of artistic license mark the fault of Miller's sensationalism. Like the four-color comics before him, Miller takes archetypes and symbols and drives them full throttle to the epic, gun-blazing climax. Unfortunately, character and emotion suffer. This is not quite the liability that it could have been, as the Epic tradition is often purposefully guilty of the same and 300 fits into this tradition (or the modern swords & sandals permutation).This limited graphic series is considered as one of the most acclaimed works of Frank Miller. You'd know why that particular opinion persists when you read this book. The story is so well written and you could actually feel the energy flowing through the words when you read the story. This is Frank Miller's “epic retelling of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor…” Sparta versus all of Persia. “The armies of Persia—a vast horde greater than any the world has ever known—are poised to crush Greece, an island of reason and freedom in a sea of madness and tyranny. Standing between Greece and this tidal wave of destruction are a tiny detachment of but three hundred warriors.” is about as violent as “Apocalypto” and twice as stupid. Adapted from a graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, it offers up a bombastic spectacle of honor and betrayal, rendered in images that might have been airbrushed onto a customized van sometime in the late 1970s. The basic story is a good deal older. It’s all about the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, which unfolded at a narrow pass on the coast of Greece whose name translates as Hot Gates. a b c Daly, Steve (March 13, 2007). "Miller's Tales".

Did we miss something on diversity?

And yet Frank Miller would have us believe they're better than the cultured Athenians (who're habitually described as boy-lovers, in spite of the Spartans being big macho maries themselves), that they can rationally reject their religion (the priests are painted as corrupt) and that what they're fighting for in their battle against the Persians is WESTERN CIVILISATION ITSELF.

Next, let me get technical, for a bit, in regards to the 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc itself here. This is using a BD-66 (66 gigabytes) disc, 59.69 gigabytes total, and 58.2 gigabytes for the film itself. In hindsight, the original 2007 Blu-ray release of the film only 32.42 gigabytes total, and then just 23.2 gigabytes for the film in 1080p HD. That’s an obvious improvement, with a filesize now over two times larger for the film in 4K. It’s also using almost all of the discs’ space for the film itself, now on 4K, with the exception of including an audio commentary.
