Even at the end of the fiercely contested summer season, the advertisements and trailers of "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" still attracted the attention of a considerable number of fans.

"My favorite thing is the slow-motion scenes in the trailer, like the scene where King Leonidas of Sparta bloodied a group of hapless and ugly Persians."

THIS IS A PROMOTIONAL VIDEO ON YUTUBE'S HOMEPAGE, IN WHICH THE YOUNG PEOPLE INTERVIEWED ARE CLEARLY INFLUENCED BY THE CONSTANT SMEAR OF THE MEDIA, "I KNOW THE FILM DELIBERATELY SLOWS DOWN THE PACE, BUT IN THIS SCENE OF A DESPERATE FIGHT, IT IS REALLY COOL AND COOL TO HAVE THE BLOOD OF THE EVIL PERSIANS SPRAYED TO THEIR HEART'S CONTENT." ”

There are many people who agree with the same opinion, and another young fan also talks about this in the video, "The cool, slow footage, in my opinion, is complete, complete, instinctive destruction. Accompanied by a splash of blood, the part of fighting with a sword is very attractive.

"My favorite scene is in the trailer where Leonidas swattes an evil Persian warrior with his shield, it's like swatting a fly, wow, think what an impact!"

At the end of the video, Nicole, who has not appeared publicly for a long time, also came out to sing the praises of the film she invested in, "If there is no Zach? Director Schneider's diverse visual innovations, if only normal visual speed is used, non-stop bleeding will make the audience aesthetically fatigued, and this kind of carefully arranged slow-motion footage will keep the eyeballs fresh, "Spartan 300 Warriors" is a film that achieves audio-visual special effects to the extreme. ”

In the midst of continuous publicity and hype, the film held a huge premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood in late July.

The most attractive thing at the premiere is undoubtedly Gerrard? Butler and Michael? The collective appearance of more than a dozen super men led by Fassbinder, although they did not wear the iconic red cape and red trousers, but when they walked on the red carpet, they caused continuous screams from female fans at the scene.

Of course, as a propaganda boo, a group of Persian 'undead legion' warriors in silver masks. With a team of Spartan warriors in helmets and armor, they walked directly onto the red carpet with neat steps and stood on both sides.

Brave and strong stand face to face with mysterious evil, and murder countless journalists Film.

Holding Nicole on the red carpet, Ryan just waved lightly to both sides, and walked quickly towards the theater, Nicole, who had disappeared from public view for a long time, was not at all like other Hollywood actresses who would be treated coldly by the media, as long as she appeared on the occasion. Almost always one of the focal points of the media.

Even if she is not a top actress in Hollywood, who can ignore a fashionable and beautiful top rich woman.

After nearly a month of planned exercise, Nicole's figure has basically recovered, Ryan accompanied her into the interview area, and very consciously let go of the side, ABC TV and Disney-Ryan online channel microphones were handed to Nicole in an instant.

Despite the rumors circulating in Hollywood, Disney reporters wouldn't be foolish enough to ask their company's directors such questions.

"Miss Kidman, this is your first public appearance in nearly a year, right?"

"Yes. I took a long vacation. ”

Even though she wanted to say something else, Nicole's eyes drifted from Ryan's face and she said, "Long-term work." It made me feel a lot of pressure, so I took a break for a while. ”

"You are the producer and main investor of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", please ask if you will go behind the scenes in the future."

"Investing in and making films is a job I love."

This kind of question is not difficult for Nicole, "Of course. I'm going to continue my career as an actor, but only if I meet the right role. ”

"Earlier there was news in Middle East Online that Leonidas and the Spartans were not heroes. They are just fascists in another sense. Excuse me, Miss Kidman, what do you think about this? ”

"As we all know, the earliest democracies originated in ancient Greece and Rome." Nicole had already done her homework on this agreed question, "Leonidas and the Spartans resisted the tyrant in order to preserve freedom, and their heroic battle at Thermopylae bought time for the build-up of the Greek coalition forces, thus protecting the germ of democracy, and they fought for freedom and democracy, nearly 2,500 years have passed, and countless historians and writers have regarded them as heroes, I think this is more convincing than the sophistry of some people." ”

As for the historians and writers, all of whom were Westerners, they were automatically ignored by Nicole and all the journalists.

After answering a few more questions, Nicole picked up Ryan and walked into the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Before the two walked into the screening hall, they saw that the main creative staff after the group photo walked into the theater one after another. Schneider took a few quick steps and caught up.

"Hey, Zach."

Facing the other party's warm greeting, Ryan shook his outstretched hand, Zach? Schneider said very seriously, "Mr. Jenkins, thank you for recommending me to direct this film. ”

"It turns out you're doing a great job." Ryan patted him on the shoulder.

The other party obviously came to look for Nicole, and then said as he walked, "Miss Kidman, I have heard some news, and the Iranian government and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are likely to issue a formal protest about "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" in the near future, and I am a little worried......"

"Zach, it's good that you're in charge of publicity." Nicole didn't even lift her eyes, "We'll take care of this kind of thing." ”

"That's good."

Zack? Schneider seemed to be afraid of affecting his reputation, and now with Nicole's assurance, he immediately resigned, he knew very well that the two people next to him had won the public opinion war with the Iranian government.

"That's really good news."

Entering the screening room with a giant screen, Ryan took Nicole by the arm and said a few words to some of the people who greeted him, and sat down in the seat behind the crew, "I already see the hope of a big movie hit." ”

"Don't forget......" Nicole reminded him earnestly, "it's a country. ”

"What can they do with us?" Ryan shrugged absently.

That being said, he has made Disney and all of its affiliates tighten security measures, including cyber and more.

In recent years, Walt Disney and several other major media groups have been implementing the strategy of pouring black water on teenagers, always using some obscure ways to instill the idea that Iran is the source of evil in the world to the whole United States and even the entire Western world.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is just an extension of this propaganda strategy on the film.

Of course, anti-dictatorship and anti-tyranny have always been the main themes of the entire Western society, not to mention the special effects of the film, the subject matter alone is in line with the taste of the mainstream market.

Although this film has many unique and innovative features in terms of technique, it inherits the consistent tradition of mainstream Hollywood films in terms of concept, with clear black and white, good and evil.

In Ryan's eyes, the image of the Persian is far uglier and more evil than in his previous life, and Xerxes I's body is full of piercings and hanging rings, no matter how he looks like the monarch of a country, but like the most bizarre modern hippie in New York's gay bars.

Also, the close-up of the Persian soldiers and generals is even more perverted than the perverted characters in traditional American horror films, and Hollywood is sending to the world in this way that people like Persians who are evil and perverted on the outside must be tyrannical and cruel on the inside.

The focus still shifts to the movie itself, to paraphrase the words of the mainstream media in North America - this is a classic battle that took place 2,500 years ago, this is a visual feast of swords and swords, and this is also known as the most anticipated epic blockbuster of 2006.

The reason why this movie is attractive, in addition to those social factors other than the movie, is more than half due to its suffocating image charm, and the CG composite image quality created by using blue-green technology to the extreme has a charm that surpasses reality.

Among them, the dark and warm tones, splashes of blood, and tumbling soil are repeatedly expressed, and the frozen images of the camera also constantly appear between the fast and slow rhythms, which can mobilize the audience's emotions with a light yì, which almost integrates the existing technique of qiē table xiàn image tension, and can also make the audience watch it with great interest.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is based on a comic adaptation, so it should be faithful to the story of the original comic book, rather than the record in the history books, perhaps the audience familiar with history can find the discrepancies, but the slightly magical content involved in it is to better attract the audience and increase the selling point of the film.

Among them, there are also tall, strong men with eight-pack abs who run like Hercules, and whenever the close-up is shown on these men, there will be screams from female viewers from time to time in the back......

As an epic film, of course, fierce war scenes are indispensable.

In the many attacks repelled by the Spartans, the tragedy of the Persians is indescribable, and the three hundred people are almost portrayed into god-like characters by the film, dealing with ordinary enemies is like chopping melons and vegetables, in this harsh and bloody battle, the Spartan warriors regard death as home, until the last drop of blood on their bodies is shed.

It's a film that is basically devoid of tenderness, with broad shoulders, protruding biceps, and a drunken body all over the screen.

In other words, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" doesn't need tenderness, all it's about being strong and gritty.

The features of the film are very prominent, and the shortcomings are also obvious.

Because they are so attracted by the picture and rhythm, most viewers are difficult to be impressed by the characters and their personalities after watching it, even if it is the character of the protagonist Leonardo, I am afraid it will not be better than Gerrard? Butler's exaggerated muscles left an even deeper impression on the audience.

The performance in this film can only leave an extremely diluted imprint. (To be continued......)
