This is a fairly old post from Solace in Cinema. It provides screen comparisons of Snyder and Miller’s work, film and comic respectively. 300 will be an example of taking a comic’s particular flavor and remediating it into the environment of film, an act that, I find, comes with all kinds of questions. The first is, why do it, which may be a rhetorical question? On the same subject, here’s a YT on Rorschack from page 5 of Watchmen.
I have no opinion about the quality of the result. What I do find of interest is the method creators use to take one form and work it into another. There are major differences in the result, as we’ve seen over the last two weeks, going from panel reading to the language of film editing.

I went to see 300 and after having the class about film editing and while reading Watchmen, I found the movie even more interesting. The subject of comic reading and converting the comic story into a movie makes me want to read the Sin City comic story and compare it to the movie that Rodriguez produced
