Hey Mausam,
300 is the name of the latest movie which I watched last night. 300 opened last friday and surprisingly grossed over $ 70 million in itz opening weekend. Itz a story of how 300 soldiers from Sparta fought against the mighty Persian army. The 300 Spartans die, but the film glorifies their heroism and bravery.
The film reminded me of the movie Gladiator during several instances but it lacked the life and realism which Gladiator so easily managed to potray. 300 is based on a comic book and you do get that feel. The movie is entertaining, no doubt, but it does'nt stir up your soul. The Spartan Greek soldiers are projected as brave, honest, extremly trained,"real" men in the movie and the Persians are projected as an enemy.
When the battle begins you are immediately reminded of the current political climate as the Persians have an Arabic look and they are shown fighting against the "white" greek men.
Watch the movie for the fabulous computer generated backgrounds and scenes, watch the movie if you like masala Hollywood movies.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
P.S.- I watched the movie in a theatre which is in the middle of Harvard University campus. As soon as I entered the theatre I saw a group of guys sitting in the theatre and waiting for the movie to begin, with one of them working on his laptop! People at Harvard value every minute I guess...
