when few stood against the many......

It started off as any regular hostel day. Got up late and had no idea of what to do next. Had no idea whether the classes were there or not, and even if they were there had no inclination to go. We had decided long back and did our homework about the release of the movie 300. We were planning to go on the first day of the release. But i had no idea that it will be first day first show. I had my breakfast and was about to start with newspaper, when my friend came knocking on the door about seeing it first day first show. I had never tried it before, and considering the promos and trailers it was worth going for it. We stay near a town which u cant place on a map. The theater is some 17 kms away from here and its an adventurous half an hour ride in bus. The whole bus thing is a complete different story altogether , lets not mix up but i will tell you this the way drivers drive the bus here is quite an experience its something like that old road fighter game we used to play on video games. Anyway we reached early and bought the tickets for others , we killed rest of our time by hunting for babes. Trust me seeing our college females for one week is reason enough to go out for green ( its not even greener ) pastures.
Before i start with the movie let me tell you this. We all have gone through movies which are overhyped-underperformed phenomenon. We were scared that this will also fall into the same category because the music , trailers and promos were so good that it raised our bar of expectations. But this movie was amongst the very rare group which out performs your expectations. It was simply superb !!!!!!!!.
Well lets first get over the basic stuff. Its based on the frank miller's graphic novel ( read it its good well sin-city is better). Its directed by Zack Snyder ( who also directed sin city). Its based on the Battle of Thermopylae ( not sure of the spelling) where huge Persian army led by Xerxes attacked Greeks to take up his father Darius age old conquest. History has it that, this was the biggest fleet ever floated across the ocean, they say the numbers were up to million or something. Unfortunately for them they had to begin their conquest by facing Spartans. Now we all have heard about the bravery stories of Spartans on the field. Their code of Strength and Honor , their commitment towards war, their superior strategies and brilliant fighting skills. They are known never to retreat or surrender. Death on the battle field is the greatest glory any Spartan can have and this movie is all about it. Well i wont go into the details but will say, this movie certainly has raised the bar of expectations from a movie. So decide for yourself.
