special.

did it have anything interesting to say about freedom, other than its a kick butt excuse to spear people? i'm not saying action movies have to double as philosophical treaties, but "freedom" like "life" or "Love" mean so much they mean absolutely nothing in a general sense. Which means characters whose 1 dimensional existence was designed to scream "freedom!" and spear people means absolutely nothing. Whose freedom? freedom from what? can mel gibson even express freedom without blue face paint?

Thank you, I've always wondered if I was just BobBloke, now I'm special! :p

That's NOT what I'm saying and I don't hate Jesus or anything like that. The Jesus complex is often discussed in film circles, it's nothing anti-religion.

Freedom from what? Did you watch this film or not?

Re: 300
 

I had thought I was doomed to wait until this came out on DVD to see because here they over dub every English movie in French, which I happen to hate. Are people that pathetic that they can't read subtitles!!! I asked why they over dub, and was told that if they didn't people wouldn't go to the movies. Sad.

Anyway, I forgot that I was in Marrakech and for some reason the DVD of a movie comes out the week after the movie is released in the theater.;) So, I was really happy when one of my students called me up and said that he got a copy of it for me.:D

I thought that the action of this movie kicked ass. I didn't get tired or bored of seeing people speared or beheaded or anything. The parts I didn't like were the parts when they switched back to what was going on in the city. I think that if they just cut those parts out and made it all actions, fighting, killing, blood and more blood, and nude Persian women dancing, the movie would be the greatest!

I do agree with Scott too, about the ending line. It was crap.

All in all, I liked it but it is not one that has super repeat value.

I've got a secret for you.

The 6 & 8 packs were done with the magic of make-up. The men were too gay for my taste in this one, meaning they all shaved their bodies more than women do.

Now everyone's gonna hate my ass for homoing this thread all out. Thanks Stranglet, thanks. ":>}

Personally, I'm just happy that you made this sentence. Besides, I'm not sure you could really "homo out" a discussion about 300. I think it's inevitable.
