Why does 300 look so weird?

Question

Not weird as in bad but the way its made it looks like a Sin City movie..i heard somewhere that its made all on green screen is that true, thats why it looks weird and the background looks fake...

Answer 1

First off, it's not weird it's brilliant... I'm in LOVE with the movie ;)

But to answer your question, the movie is done by Frank Miller who also did Sin City. Frank Miller is a comic book writer so his visual often reflect that kind of thing. Sin City actually started as a comic book series, and I think the movie looks the way it does because the visuals look more similiar to a comic book versus a real live action movie.

Personally, I absolutely loved everything about 300, it added a completely different element so that it wasn't the same as any other war movie, because God knows there are so many out there.

Hopefully that helps...

Answer 2

It's done by the guy that made Sin City too. A lot of it is done on a green screen, but not all. It's the graphics that they use, that's why it looks like that. It's a movie done "new age" style. Do you know that I heard that 300 has been finished for a year but it took them so long to release it because of the extensive graphics and sound that went into it. Wasn't the sound killer too?

Answer 3

Sin City and 300 are both based on graphic novels by Frank Miller and both were filmed in front of green screens in order to get that "comic book" feel. It was filmed over a period of 60 days at the end of 2005 and finished filming in Jan. of 2006.

Answer 4

it is by the same folks who brought you Sin City that is why it resembles it so much. It's a testament to the inehrent cinematic depth of Miller's graphic novels that movies based on them are so vicariously dull. Sin City was like watching your buddy get a lap dance. 300 is often like watching that buddy play a video game.

Answer 5

I dont think thats weird at all. I am not sure how much hollister is, but i know people spend upwards of a thousand at Nordstroms. 300$ really is not that much. Last year i spent close to 200 on my back to school clothes.

Answer 6

I saw it. It was awesome. I wish all history lessons could be taught that way. I give it a 5 out 5.
It was shot the same way Star wars revenge of sith was produced. Mostly in a green room. But the action sequences were better and have come along way even by the last 2 years standards.
Peace,

Answer 7

The entire film was made using green screen. I thought the background looked good considering. What was real was the props used that they climbed on (mountains and such).

There are tons of movies that use green screen and you can't even tell where the real set ends and the green screen starts. This was intended to look like it did because it was a graphic novel. If it was something else then the cinematography would have been much different.

Answer 8

It looks weird because only the actors are real. Everything else, and I mean everything else, is computer generated. Sets, background, ships, everything. Its supposed to be the new way to make films. No traveling or expensive sets to build, etc. But something tends to get lost when you make a film using just the computer to generate everything except the human actors. Filming on location lends authenticity and creates conflict as it should be, not contrived by special effects.

Answer 9

Have not seen the movie. I am a history buff and read about the 300 men who put the Persian army towards a downwards trend.

Read your history and write to the movie directors to get it correct. Head Start children can do better.

Answer 10

i think i heard its created by the creators of sin city..maybe that's why there's a similarity..
