Stop the flame, people!

We know we have some differences on our education and that most of the countries doesn't share the same point of view of history, but you can't tell that all Americans, Europeans or any other are wrong or doesn't care about their education.

Remember that not everybody is the same...

None the less a good action movie.

Another mistake is that Xerxes didn't look like that... And Spartans weren't the only ones who fought.

^ Contradiction to the former qoutes ^

You first stated some things that bothered you about the film, then said it's the people that believe the Spartans were godlike. I'm confused o_O

LOL indeed im one of the rare Americans that invented 4 new mathmatical formulas....

I also value world history not just the twisted past of america.... but remember as each coin has 2 sides so does history... You cant take everything you read as true....

For example... I am a blue haired Purple tounged Green Eyed twisted liped mongoose eating mole man!...

what is just said is the past.. and now its history.. but its not true...

Ok, here I go:

The problem was not the film, but what the people think about the real Spartans, Persians or any living creature on the movie. I enjoyed the movie, I know it's based on a comic book (which I could only read some pages so far), and I know it didn't aimed to look real or to be accurate. I just wanted to point out the differences between reality and the movie.



P.S.: Don't expect me to be coherent today.
