300

Product Information

I love the film 300. I mean, I love the goddamn film, it's the most gloriously stupid, high camp, bloody mess imaginable and perfect in every imperfect way. Unfortunately, the original comic fails spectacularly by being the movie only taken seriously. I went to Greece and researched the story as much as I could - walked the battlefield and all of that - and just put it all down. It took a lot of distillation of the genuine history and I'm taking an awful lot of liberties with everything, but that's my job. If you want reality, catch a documentary. - Frank Miller, Author of 300 Graphic Novel

What spawns this huge battle is when one day in Sparta a messenger arrives, along with some other Persians. Long story short, that whole “don’t kill the messenger” thing was overrated — at least to the Spartans, specifically to King Leonidis. He’s not pleased with the news he’s given and he assembles his army. He’s ready to leave behind his son and wife “Queen Gorgo” ( Lena Headey) and go off to fight, as Spartans are meant to. The King’s army consists of some key members such as “Dilios” ( David Wenham), “Stelios” ( Michael Fassbender), “Astinos” ( Tom Wisdom), and “Daxos” ( Andrew Pleavin). Out of the 1,523 cuts featured in 300, more than 1,300 of its shots contain some elements of visual effects. All in all, 300 contains a grand total of 8,631 VFX elements.

I first encountered Miller when he jumped into Marvel’s Daredevil franchise. 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. The comic is a fictional retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas of Sparta. 300 was particularly inspired by the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, a film Miller watched as a young boy. [1] The work was adapted in 2006 to a film of the same name. [2]Only for about twenty years now has the creative reputation of Frank Miller been a shambles. Even as Hollywood fell in love with him, comic book fans grew to despise him. Until the recent launch of his own imprint, Miller’s last work looked like it would be Xerxes, a sequel to 300. Although it’s more of a sketch than a story (I haven’t read 300 so have no basis for comparison other than the movie), it’s more typically glorious artwork from Miller and more exploration of the deeds of towering men. In the original script for 300, the line “This is Sparta!” wasn’t supposed to be yelled. In the comic book, it’s delivered in a stern but calm manner. Gerard Butler tried a few takes in which he delivered the line this way, but it didn’t have much of an impact. Writer Alan Moore has criticized 300 as being historically inaccurate, with particular reference to the characters' attitudes towards homosexuality: Striking when the iron’s hot, Frank Miller follows up 300 20 YEARS after it was first published with Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander - and it really wasn’t worth the wait. It’s such a rubbish sequel. And so confusing! I had no idea what was going on and had to do my own research to understand what Miller should’ve been able to convey if he were still a competent storyteller. 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.

La verdad que no puedo hablar de Miller como "placer culposo" si vengo disfrutando tanto lo último que leo de él, tanto cosas nuevas como este experimental Xerxes como sus geniales últimos tomos de Sin City, que pese a lo que me habían pintado recontra están a la altura de los primeros de la saga. But it makes a great pair for crazy dictatorships, because one has a whole theistic military complex with a gigantic bureaucracy, controlling any aspect of life. As always, the less dramatic, but often more realistic reasons for wars, economic ones, aren´t in the game. They simply aren´t as thrilling as god emperors, a typical male characteristic often accompanied bythe graphic novel holds the manliness record for the densest number spears, arrows, shields, red capes and abs in graphic literature.
