In Reply to: The "queen in Sparta?" I'll bet they weren't faithful to the Spartan posted by tinear on March 11, 2007 at 17:26:36:
There is more exposed male flesh in this film than in any bathhouse. Spartan chest armor has been eschewed in favor of fully exposed, massively muscled, hairless torsos. It is incomprehensible that the 300 do not end up being human shish-ke-bobs during the first two days of battle.The reality was that the Spartans wore body armor and the Persians wore none and had poor wicker shields.
I enjoyed the look of the film. But make no mistake, this ain't no "Gladiator."
If I were a cynical liberal, I would regard this film as poorly disguised propaganda for an American war with Iran.
