Distorting the history in order to sell more

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2007)

This film is kind of mix of the films: "Brave heart" , "Gladiator" and The "Lord of the ring". The drama features are similar to Gladiator. Continuing the fight after a dramatic lose is look like brave heart. And the Persian army are look like ORKs in "The Lord of The Ring". The producers knew that they are speaking about a historical war that Spartans were the loser of that, but they tried to bring back hope to the audiences by ending it like "brave heart" (against the history),although, the most advantage of that 300 Spartans was their strategic situation and by losing that position ... .
Besides, some fights were very funny especially the scenes that they fight with Persian heavy army for example elephants lead to valley with out any problem and another monster was killed just by one hit.
It was clear that the director tried to zoom in dramatic and heroic features in order to attract more audiences and in this way (attracting more) he changed many historical matters in this war for example Persians in that time hadn't any slaves but in a scene a Persians guy said that we will get your wives and children as slaves!!!
The director even changed the style of Persian king like Egyptian style and the Persian commanders like Arabians.And by the whole of these changes I don't know why they use the name of Persian for such army and king which were in opposite of history, at least I think we should reject it's genre:"history".
