A movie representing an idea, NOT a history tale

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2007)

Well, i read a lot of stupid comments until now, so i wanted to post one of my own. Some may like it, others may not....
First of all, the movie is based on the comic book because otherwise it would've been a teen day string of continuous fighting between and impenetrable wall of shields, spears and armored men and waves of Persians, ending in a 2 day last stand surrounded and fighting to the death. Imagine the joy of seeing a movie like that :))
The important thing is that they respected a few historic guidelines.
1) He didn't accept the offer from the Persians, it would've meant submission, slavery, and death of free will, something like what the Nazis would've done if they had it their way. 2)The "stupid" lines people find out of place are, partly, from history "Fight in the shade" blabla, those are all real lines. 3) Yeah, they fought and died so that others may enjoy freedom, they fought for what they believed in, not for honor, glory, not for the pleasure of battle, but for their city, and all the other Greek cities.
The well in the middle of the city was historically known for being a last place of rest for arrogant fools and tyrants asking submission from the Spartans.
The lack of humanity? War is fought without mercy , not just then, but even now. They killed everyone because they couldn't afford to have survivors at their backs while they were fighting.
Yeah, the monsters and other things are a little far fetched, but it's a action movie not a damn documentary, it's supposed to entertain you.
Yeah, the movie isn't a historic one because it would've been boring and pointless. It's represents an idea and an homage to soldiers everywhere who fought for the ones at home, for the ones they LOVED.
