Transformation
In Film.
This
film is based on a comic book lasting from 1998. It is on a battle where king
Leonidas and his 300 soldiers are fighting against Persian “god” and his army
of more than one million soldiers. In the film a narrator, which was one of the
soldiers that survived, was describing the scene. It has some slow motion shots
to depict the strength and rage in them. It even has dark parts but it is still
not a film-noir.
In this film the main character, the hero, the king
was as known King Leonidas (Gerard Butler). Where in the first part of the film
where it was harmony and even when it started to be conflicted he showed his
power, his courage, who a real king should be protecting his people and his
land, where he stood up for them and fought till the enemy was death. Even the
lighting was bright to show these symbols and the sound with a loud, beautiful
tone.
Where after several battles with thousands of soldiers
against the 300, the king was tired and he couldn’t keep up. He came to one
point that he had to bow for Persian “god”; he did so because they just felt
restlessness all the time. The only thing that was keeping him strong was his
queen, his wife. He continues battling till the end. We can see this because
his cabe was torn; his body all washed up with dirt and mud and with several
cuts. His armor was in a bad condition the helmet was damaged, his shield was
bend and damaged as well.
The 3-act structure worked even in the character where
at first he had everyone in peace and ruling his kingdom while conflict came
with several battles and deaths. Where at the end harmony came when he was
thinking about his wife.
