Unul dintre cele mai astepate prequel-uri (functioneaza si ca sequel), intra anul acesta in cinematografe. Ma refer, desigur la follow-up-ul „300: Rise of an Empire”- „300: Ascensiunea unui Imperiu”, film care va oferi detalii suplimentare despre batalia de la Termopile, oferind publicului secrete inca nedezvaluite din romanul grafic nepublicat de acelasi autor, Frank Miller. Inspirata de bataliile epice transpusepe ecrane, aman putin articolele dedicate filmelor de epoca (urmeaza unul dedicat biografiilor sau biopicurilor) si fac de data asta un top al celor mai complexe batalii surprinse in scene de pelicule. Desigur ca sunt subiectiva, la fel ca de fiecare data si ca exista riscul sa fi omis alte momente care poate ca imi plac mai mult decat cele selectate. Unele sunt expresii artistice ale unor lupte scoase din arhiva, altele doar plasmuirea unor scenaristii, dar au in comun acelasi lucru: spectacolul. Va invit la completari, asa cum am obisnuit 🙂

 „A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! „

• Gladiator (2000) video aici

„Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!”

• Avatar (2009) video aici

„The Sky People have sent us a message… that they can take whatever they want. That no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. Tell them Toruk Macto calls to them! You fly now, with me! My brothers! Sisters! And we will show the Sky People… that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this… this is our land!”

• King Arthur (2004) video aici

„If your majesty were to offer justice, justice in the form of a charter of Liberty, allowing every man to forage for his hearth, to be safe from conviction without cause or prison without charge, to work, eat, and live on the sweat of his own brow and be as merry as he can, that king would be great. Not only would he receive the loyalty of his people, but their love as well.”

• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) video aici

• John Carter (2012) video aici

” I don’t believe you. We may have been born worlds apart, but I know you, John Carter. From the moment you caught me in the sky, I knew. I felt the heart of a man willing to lay down his life for others. A man willing to fight for a cause, here, on Barsoom.”

• The Last of the Mohicans (1992) video aici

„Their Gallic laziness combines with their Latinate voluptuousness with the result that they would rather eat and make love with their faces than fight.”

• Centurion (2010) video aici

” In the chaos of battle, when the ground beneath your feet is a slurry of blood, puke, piss and the entrails of friends and enemies alike, it’s easy to turn to the gods for salvation. But it’s soldiers who do the fighting, and soldiers who do the dying, and the gods never get their feet wet. „
