300

WOW! That is what I said when I saw the movie 300 this weekend! It was incredible! I honestly could apply it to what we have been talking about in class. It had an oracle, creepy ugly old men, and all sorts of hot men! Sorry that had to be said! There were 300 completely beautiful "Spartan" men in that movie. The only thing that I found really inaccurate was that a woman got to speak in front of the council. I don't think that would have happened in Greece even when she was the Queen of Sparta. There was a very good part that applied to Greek tragedy and the theme of it having better to have never been born. There is an extremely deformed man who wants to fight for Sparta and he is turned down. He goes to fight for Xerses and when the King of Sparta finally sees him he said "I wish for you (his name) live forever." It was like wishing the harshest of punishments on someone. It was great! I just thought I would let everyone know! Girls especially don't think there is nothing to see here. It isn't that gory, and there are lots and lots of gorgeous guys in it.

Have a good spring break everyone!
