Good thrust.

10 things that you walk out with after watching 300.
  1. A sudden urge to go to the gym.
  2. Chanting the Spartan rallying cry every 10 seconds or so.
  3. Seeing things in slow motion, zooming in on them, zooming out and then having them sped up again.
  4. Wanting to protect your brother-at-arms on the left at all times.
  5. Hoping that your baby boys won't be thrown down a mountain for being less than perfect.
  6. Never seeing an apple in the same way again.
  7. Knowing that baldness risks leading to effiminacy.
  8. The preconceived notion that hunchbacked underachievers will always betray you. No matter how kind you are to them.
  9. Wishing your woman was a Spartan one.
  10. The desire to grow a fine, thick beard.
Women will love 300 for the beautiful men. Men will love 300 because...it's really a man's movie. As juvenile as it sounds, it's just fucking cool. There's no need for a deep review on historical (in)accuracies. There's no need for a debate on creative licensing. Let's not argue over how it's a statement on the current global climate.

It's a story about a bunch of blokes who stood up for themselves and their beliefs, and protecting them to the very end.

And that's all there is to it, in the end.
