The 300

I'm sure by now that there are a multitude of stellar reviews of The 300. I also saw the film and would like to add my praise. The 300 is a fictional period piece that details the struggles of the little known cotton industry in Britain during the Industrial Revolution. This particular story revolves around a young girl named Margie and her struggle to convince herself that everyone around her is not crazy (her father especially). This plot may sound similiar to Record of the Lodoss Wars, and you would be correct in that assumption. The 300 mesmerizes with its computer generated underage textile workers, although it is highly apparent that a green screen was used for every last one of the shots in 'the country'. All in all, I loved the film, and I recommend it to anyone who found a lasting peace watching "The Creature Wasn't Nice" aka "Spaceship".
