Frank Miller's 300

[martinss01]

Just picked up the DVD Special Edition...hopefully it is worth the extra 8 dollars. I'd watch it now but I have to go to work in the morning. Damn work.....always getting in the middle of my fun.

hopefully they provide the actual story on the special edition...

Do you mean the real story of the Spartans, or a "complete" version of the 300 from the graphic novel?

The closest they come to either, in any event, is the inclusion of a few deleted scenes and the presence of a Real vs 300 contrasting featurette.

Do you like gladiator movies?

Do you mean the real story of the Spartans,

that would be the one. though i was thinking more along the lines of the real story of thermopylae. why the battle was fought to begin with. why it was important. why the spartan's stayed to die. who else was involved and what part did they play. why the persian's didn't just hop on their 10's of thousands of ships and sail around them. that sort of thing.

The closest they come to either, in any event, is the inclusion of a few deleted scenes and the presence of a Real vs 300 contrasting featurette.

so the hopes and dreams of people learning anything via a movie based upon an actual event is the real vrs 300 contrasting featurette only found on the special edition dvd. apparently facts really are boring.
