300

300 told the story of how King Leonidas with his 300 Spartans stood against 6000 Persian army. It also told a story of a good warrior becoming a bad king.

Sometimes things just didn't progress as it might seem. A strong, brave, and tactic fighter just might not cut out to be a good leader of a country.

What Leonidas did not just put his own life at stake but also risked the future of his whole country. There might be other ways to approach the issue. Instead of dealing with the issue diplomatically, Leonidas believes he would fight his way out.

The ending was nothing more than scenes of bloodshed and unnecessary sacrifices. Words for the Good warriors: stay where you are and do what you are good at. You should not take every promotion that come in front of you. You may be jeopardizing everything around you!
