Matt Brookman 300

The field trip we took to the movies was great. I went and saw 300. In the movie a king and three hundred of his men go off and try to hold off an army that is going to attack his people and his kingdom. He is the leader of Sparta. The reason he only could take three hundred men was to get by the politics of his government that voted not to send the army and fight. This as in most cases is due to a few corrupt people that always seem to make things difficult. The king and his men fight off the largest army ever formed up until that point. The men are not only fighting for their home, but as the movie goes on they are fighting their hearts out for each other. This is still true today in are military. Men and women are fighting to protect the person beside them. The king and his men might have been able to fight them off and defeat the Prussian army due to the strength, smarts, and courage of those three hundred men. There was a turning point when an outsider from the three hundred betrayed them and showed the leader of the Prussian army a secret passage that would lead to the death of all the Spartans. The king sent one away so he could tell their story and also prepare for the enemy that would soon be attacking Sparta. I enjoyed this movie as much as any other we saw this semester. I do have to say that it was little different to see the whole cast of actors on human growth hormones to make them in the best possible shape they could get.
