300 men, 1 hope, 1 destiny. Honour.

What does one get out of a semi-animated, outrageously violent, mythical movie on the spartans that only harps about honour without any sense or sensibility ? Nothing but a load of bull crap that makes young minds more violent, more stupid... and leaves you Rs. 130/- short. No. I beg to differ.

I have been taught selective learning, and I use all of that while in a movie hall. And, I learnt a shit lot of things from this movie.

1. Winning is NOT important, fighting IS.

2. The biggest of problems can crumble to dust, if you have the will to face them head on.

3. There is more to life than materialistic desires - pride, honour, freedom.

4. Fight, but first with your mind, then heart and at last the body.

5. Before jumping into anything; think, plan, prepare, execute.

6. You dont have to be a man to fight for the right.

7. Skill is as important as will. Will alone takes you nowhere.

8. You might have to compromise to get what you want, but its not necassary that it WILL work.

9. To do the right thing, you may, sometimes have to go against wisdom.

10. The right plan, the right men, and the right will may not always get you the desired result, but it will surely take you a step closer than otherwise.

Ok, this was as much as I had to talk about the intellectual aspect of the movie. If one is talking about entertainment, this movie offers more of it, than any of its league or otherwise.

I strongly recommend the audience who like candy floss romance and/or slap stick humour to stay away from this one, since it may not strike a chord or two with them.

But, for those who are spartans at heart, this is must watch.

A WINNER ALL THE WAY.
