Well I went and saw the movie 300 last night. It is awesome. They even included the "Molon Labe" Obviously not in Greek. Also it definitely is not for children....lots of nudity and bloody violence.
Totaly fake movie, entirely innacurate portrayal of every single aspect of not only the battle, but the tactics, the movements, the gear, nevermind remotely resembling Spartan culture or beliefs.
The movie was designed to appeal to emotions, not portray anything that actualy happened, a way of life, or even a people.
The people of Sparta would be nearly impossible for modern people to relate to if accurately displayed, so they are displayed in entirely inaccurate ways so the target audience can emotional relate and buy into it.
Glad you enjoyed it, but just remember it is not even loosely based on reality, it is based on a entirely fictional comic book.
It was an entertainment movie, not a documentary. I would hope that was obvious. Did you cry about the giant fat guy with sawblade arms or the Smeagol-looking character as being historically inaccurate too? Sorry, I couldn't help it. It's a great movie with a great theme. Take it for what it is--entertainment.

Amen brother!If you want a history lesson tune into the History Channel, if you want to be entertained go watch 300.
Dude, lighten up - it has monsters in it.
Let's see: Protecting freedom, justice, liberty and reason against tyranny and mysticism. Whatever could that have to do with a forum devoted to discussion of the right to keep and bear arms?
