Movie trailer: 300 (Another Frank Miller movie)

A visually stunning movie for 2007! Another Frank Miller (the guy behind Daredevil, Batman and Sincity) movie! BTW, I've heard that the reason the Spartans wore red clothes so the enemy could not see their blood. Wondering if it's true. Anyways, I will definitely go and watch this movie!

Here's some historical background about this movie (quoted from Wikipedia):

In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. A small force led by King Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes I could pass. After several days of confrontation the Persians attacked but were defeated by heavy losses, disproportionate to those of the Greeks.

This continued on the second day but on the third day of the battle a local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks, revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. With the rest of the army dismissed, King Leonidas stayed behind with his bodyguard of 300 Spartans and the 700 man Thespian army even though they knew it meant their deaths, to allow the rest of the army to escape.

Baek Ji-young - "I'll Never Love Again" (translated with Korean lyrics)

그렬려고 그랬어 돌아가려고 너의 차가움엔
I was going to do it; I was going to go back to your cold heart.
그래다 이유 있었던 거야. 나를 만지는 너의 손길 없어진
Yeah, there were reasons, but he outstretched hand that once reached for me is gone.
이제야 깨닫게 되어서 내 맘 떠나간 것을
Because I can see the truth now, you’ve left my heart.

설마 하는 그런 미련 때문에 그래도 나는 나를 위로해
Because of the longing I still have for you, I try to console myself
나 이제 이러는 내가 더 가여워
But now I feel sorrier for myself.
이제라도 널 지울 거야 기억에 모두를
Now, I’m going to erase you and everything from my memory.

* 이제 다시 사랑 안 해. 말하는 난 너와 같은 사람
From now on I’ll never love again. What I’m saying is that
다시 만날수가 없어서 사랑할수 없어서
I can’t meet a man like you again, because I can’t love a man like you again
바보처럼 사랑 안해 말하는 널 사랑한다
But…I love you though you say you don’t love me
나를 잊길 바래 나를 지워줘@
I want you to forget me; to erase me. *

바보처럼 몰랐어. 너의 두 사람 아직 기억하려던 그건
Like a fool, I didn’t know
그래 다 욕심이야 다짐했건만. 매일 아침 눈을 떠
I open my eyes every morning
지나간 너에게 기도해 나를 잊지 말라고
and pray for the old you not to forget me

제발 지금 내가 바라는 하나 내 얘길 너무 쉽게 하지마
Please, I only want one thing: Don’t talk about me so easily
차라리 나를 모른다고 말해줘
Better yet, say that you don’t know me
시간 지나 알게 될 거야 내 사랑의 가치를
You’ll know my love’s worth as time passes

REPEAT *

내가 없는 내가 아닌 그 자리에 사랑 채우지마
Don’t waste your love when I’m not even there
혹시 만날 수가 있다면 사랑할 수 있다면 아프잖아
If we were to meet again, if we were to love again, you know it’d hurt
사랑한 널 지켜보며 사랑한다 그 말
As I watch over you, the one I love, the words “I love you”
한마디를 하지 못해서~
is the one thing I didn’t say.

A beautiful song, hope you will like it as much as I do.
