My new sound-script for the film 300 looks into several things, one of which is the idea of speaking for others. The film speaks for the historical tale of the Battle of Thermopylae. The movie depicts the (all-white) Spartans as men that are practically gods. The Spartans in the film contain just about every generic manly man stereotype one could think of. The Persians on the other hand, are depicted to have feminine features. I am writing my sound-script towards a general audience as well as towards movie producers and directors. For my first major paper I will be researching the idea of East vs. West that has been developed throughout our society and which is present in the film 300.

Overall, I have a lot of nervousness and frustration towards this paper because I can’t completely compile my ideas into one concrete plan.

Artifacts: I will take concepts from Alcoff’s article about speaking for others.  Essentially the Spartans and the Persians during the Battle of Thermopylae are being spoken for by the director of the film.
