In Reply to: '300 - Rise of an Empire': How much must I endure . . . posted by Billy Wonka on March 8, 2014 at 08:44:32:
good question re: how much must I....
One of the aspects I liked about the film "300" was that it loosely adapted historical events into a highly stylized and somewhat entertaining retelling. I thought it gave life to what history tells us was the Spartan lifestyle. Even though the scene where Lionidas consulted the temple priests for a fortelling of events to come, we saw how those priests had been bribed with Persian coin to steer him wrong. That is something we, in todays world, can identify with.
So given this precedent, I'd assume that this sequel to "300" must depict the battle at Thermopylae.....in exaggerated fantastical style.
