Music reviews of 300 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Special Edition)
Music Review: well, well written
Rating: 5 Stars
First, let's keep things in perspective, this is a review of the soundtrack, not film. As music and a soundtrack, it serves the purpose the composer/producers intended. It feels the emotions of what is happening on the screen, it sets the tone for the film, and, in my opinion, is brilliantly written. As far as the film itself, it cannot be propoganda, because there really isn't anything for it to be propoganda for, it is a money maker, period. Second, let's take a look at the history and see how it compares: 1)Fact, there were three hundred Spartans led by King Leonidas who fought at Thermopylae or, "Hot Gates". 2)they fought for about three days, 3)They fought Xerxes army (so far, pretty good) 4)A traitor greek led the Persians on a goat path behind the Greeks 5)All of the Spartans ended up dying as a result. So, the basis for history is indeed accurate. What was made up in the film was the amount of Greeks who came to fight with the Spartans and the number of Persians in the army. The Greek historian Herodotus does indeed number the Persians at over a million, modern scholarships asserts closer to 120,000. Also, there were closer to a total of 7,000 Greeks, however, about 1,000 of them were left to guard to goat path, and the Spartans did indeed see most of the action, killing an average of about 30 Persians for each fallen Spartan. Also, I am not sure there was so much intrigue within the Spartan senate. However, I have not studied this aspect of the battle as much, so I may be mistaken, however, I was always under the impression that Sparta was for battle, and only took 300 to preserve the rest of the army. The other part I am not sure about is the Persian emmissaries in the beginning, although it does not sound like anything that was beyond Spartan ferocity as to kill foriegn invading emmissaries. As a whole, even though it was "Hollywood", the film itself is gripping and emotional, and even the liberties they took did not, in my opinion, take away from the over-arching nobility for what the Spartans stood and fought for, Freedom and Liberty for men who would not submitt to Tyrrany. A lesson many people in the Free world would do good to remember again. Congrats on a fine musical score to an emotionally gripping and relevant story.
