300 got successamong other things, thanks to its spectacular image and the use of special effects that immerse the viewer in the mythology of the moment, perfectly capturing the aesthetics of Miller and Varley’s novel. The sepia tone that we see in each scene and the use of slow motion in battles they manage to awaken a feeling of emotion in the viewer hardly imitable.
