This is a movie base on Frank Miller's 300

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2007)

Just remember that when you go watch the movie.
It is the adaptation of the graphic novel and is not about historical accuracy.
It is an excellent movie with graphics to die for.
Maybe the "freedom" overtone was a bit over the top, but it is quite enjoyable. About the Persians, well, we know it is not accurately depicted. Phlanx do not fight the way they fight in the movie neither. So whatever compliant on that front is very stupid.
However, one should never forget, the Spartans died defending Greece despite Greece was not united and had internal strife well before the Persians invasion. Yet the Spartans died defending its neighbors and allies. And whatever advance the Persian had in poetical or social arena, they were nonetheless the aggressors.
