This Is Sparta!

Who hasn’t shouted this famous line before even the most boring of tasks? This single line made 300 a movie no one would forget, along, of course with its stunning imagery, colors, and insanely jacked dudes. The scene is beautifully done, starting with the gentle calmness of a summer storm.

When making his decision on what to do with the Persians, Leonidas looks out to his people, the children and women, before drawing his sword. The Persian tells him he is mad for doing so and in a stunning moment of trust, Leonidas looks to his Queen, gets her approval, and utters his now famous words, “Madness? This is Sparta!” And drop kicks the dude into their giant death well. An epic showing of strength, beautifully filmed and brilliantly acted with patience and spirit.
