The power of great dialogue lines… Back to Blog
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching The 300. If you haven’t seen this film, I definitely recommend it! One of the things I enjoyed about the film (other than all the gorgeous, muscular men!) was the dialouge. I thought the writers of this flick did a fantastic job of creating strong, gripping dialogue. There wasn’t wasted chatter–the speeches were generally brief, the drama extreme, and I felt that every sentence uttered by the characters was of extreme importance.
In other words, I really liked what they said. 🙂
The lines in this film cut to the chase. They had great punch–and many people in the audience would respond immediately (and enthusiastically) to the comments.
So, here are a few of my favorite lines (and if you haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t read any more!):
Spartan King Leonidas: Give them nothing! But take from them everything!
Spartan King Leonidas: This is where we fight. This is where they die.
Spartan King Leonidas: There’s no reason we can’t be civil. [Stated while his soldiers slit the throats of wounded enemies.]
Queen Gorgo: This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I am not your Queen.
Anyone else have some favorite lines to share? Hmm?

This is the 3rd writer I heard talking about this movie. This is not the kind of movie I normally see, but you made me want to. *g*
The last movie I saw was Wild Hogs. I laughed all the way through it.
Oh, Edie, if you see it, please let me know what you think. The first time I saw the preview, I didn’t think it would be the best movie for me, either–but once I saw the actual film, I loved it!
And I’ve been wanting to see Wild Hogs. Thanks for letting me know it’s a good one!
