The movie 300 was a movie that effectively captured the battle of Thermopylae in 480 A.D. It is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller. The movie begins with the life of the king, Leonidas, and all his struggles through life being born a spartan. Children at that time were selectively chosen and if they were not fit to be spartan, they were thrown off a cliff. The film used bullet-time, or slow motion, to capture some of the more thrilling parts of the film. The slow time allows the viewer to see the limbs being severed one at a time and not have to worry about not being able to keep up with all the killing. War is a repeated theme throughout the movie, and friendship is also valued above all other things. The 300 spartans had to fight as one to overcome the million man strong persian army, and their values about not running and never giving up were also tested. All in all, the movie was a great depiction of war-time brothers at the time and the troubles and tribulations they faced.
