I mean no offence but you just have to have better things to demonstrate about. Like your country being about to be attacked ? Your relatives bombed ? Are you sure your biggest problem is Hollywood is lying ?

Bollywood is seen as more historically accurate than Hollywood. Of course it is inaccurate, and of course it is propaganda, but complaining about such a silly movie surely only draws attention to it. Did you know that 'the 300 Spartans' was an anti-soviet Hollywood propaganda film of 1962 ? It's odd the US should want to portray itself as the slave-owning, child-fucking, baby-killing, proto-fascist Spartans while still alluding to Pax Romana.

Still, if you want to refight the Battle of Thermopylae then I understand, it has been misreported for propaganda reasons since it was fought. a few obvious facts pop out. First, even the Greek historians - who were notably absent - can't agree on the number of Greeks there. Herodotus claimed 7000 men, Pausanias 11200. '11200' isn't quite as good a movie title though. Even if there were only 300 Spartans, it shows how uncommitted they were to the battle which was really to defend their rival Athens. A blood sacrifice of a samll contingent can boost your states mythologising no amout I guess, much like Blairs 'blood sacrifice' in Iraq. 11200 highly trained, highly armoured, well-fed and rested men holding a pass so narrow 'only one chariot could pass through' - and for only three days - is hardly unbelievable, even against the 60000-300000 recently disembarked Persians.

I guess the only reason the battle is remembered is the modern west so enamoured with 'your greek philosophers'. Democracy back then was a dirty word much like anarchy is now. But for the select few who enjoyed it, it was at least participatory. I wouldn't watch the film myself but I doubt even Hollywood changed the ending - remember the Persians won.

Frank Miller must be blessed with increadable foresight considering this movie is a straight filming of a comic he wrote 96-97 published in 98.

The film is amazing, has a few errors historically but to do a protest about this is absolutely pathetic. Surely there are more important things in the world. The protest is a joke.
