I went to the cinema near my home to watch the movie 300 with jolenesiah because I'd told her that I will watch a movie tonight with her. But I just couldn't believe my eyes that the tickets to this movie is always sold out. Yea the last time I wanted to buy 2 tickets for this movie was last thursday and they were sold out. I wanted to book tickets this afternoon but they were sort of sold out since it was stated on the cinema's website. So jolenesiah and I decided to head to the cinema 4 hours before the movie. And imagine that the tickets were almost sold out. What left was 2 seats of the upper centre row and a few rows right in front of the screen. No joke. There were people buying tickets right up to the screen. Man... we were 4 hours before the screening and we got no good seatings? Whatever, we just bought the tickets ...

In the middle of the movie, I just cringed to my seat. I just couldn't withstand some of the violent scenes; I can't remember the scenes at the moment. But I don't think this movie is controversial at all; Spartan represents Bush and the Persians as Iraqis? Not at all. Bush's definition of terrorism is defending your own country from him. But the Spartans are just simply defending their country from invasion. The story is just as simple as that. And the lessons are plainly stated in the dialogues of the characters like we have to fight for justice and we need to protect what we treasure most. So what is so controversial about this movie?

I think the Sin City movie is as violent as this movie but I thoroughly enjoy these 2 movies.

People that try to tie modern politics to this movie have nothing better to do with their lives. This is a true story of 300 people. This is history and a fable. I watched it for what it was and I LOVED it! My favorite part is when the queen gets her revenge. The whole place was clapping. I was one of them. :)

I watched 300 too....
... I thought it was great. The action was so intense, I loved it. Remember that tree with all the villagers' bodies? Haha that was crazy...and of course when they launched all those arrows into the sky. "Fighting in the shade" :P

Oh and you guys already mentioned the Queen and her little fiasco with that traitor guy. That part was never in the comic book, but I'm glad they added it into the movie.
