After his Dawn of the Dead remake, Zack Snyder became a celebrated (and controversial) Hollywood director at the latest with the brutal action festival 300. The adaptation of Frank Miller’s original set new standards for the frame-accurate conversion of comics to the big screen alongside Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City.
In the night from Sunday to Monday, 300 runs on ProSieben. The Mix of historical references, bombast action and fantasy elements is still a visually stunning intoxication.
300 has had a strong influence on comic book films
With his Frank Miller adaptation, the director relied on a special style with which he transferred the individual panels from the comic almost 1:1 to his film. Along with the over-stylized action from lots of slow motion and heavily saturated tones, 300 is often like a moving painting full of martial battles. The director used this style again for his subsequent comic adaptation Watchmen.
In terms of content, the story of 300 is based on the real one Battle of Thermopylae. Here it came 480 BC. BC at the beginning of the Second Persian War to fight for the narrow passage between Greek warriors and the Persian superiority under King Xerxes I. Historically, however, Snyder’s action fireworks are not all that accurate.
