Yeah the movie looked kind of like Zionist propaganda against Iran, the persians were shown as mutants like those orcs in Lord of the rings.

Re: 300 Spartans movie

The only thing I liked in the movie is the way the Spartans make their fighting strategy...heavy sheilds and short swords. and the long spears.

when I was watching the movie came in my mind our ancient Armenian army which consisted of 4 catagories. heavy and light infantry, heavy and light cavalry...and we were very powerful army...utilizing both western and eastern fighting ways.

I don't agree with those filmmakers to image the Persians as they did....the Persians are Aryans as the Greeks.

Re: 300 Spartans movie

The Persians by Aesychles is probably more historically accurate as it was written during the period by a Greek warrior and views this war from the view of the Persians who lost to a smaller Greek army.

Occassionally, this piece is performed in the theater.

Also, Persians are not Arabs. All that towelhead stuff, monsters and fantasy stuff was pretty deragotary to history and distasteful. I agree with Aramis.

And, back in the days, Armenians controlled the Roman Empire for a decade. Basically, forced the Roman Army to cave in.

Re: 300 Spartans movie

300 was 15 minutes of story and 105 minutes of fight sequences. It was stylish but it worked out to be an average movie.

I agree and more...just imagine...Tigranes The Great had half a million cavalry...so, feeding half a million horses everyday...what a wealthy, and powerful country were we...plus lets go back in time....we fought the Persians many times against Darius...although they write that we got defeated...but thats wrong...an army or a country gets defeated once and thats over...but defeated many times???...means we were kicking them....we had very good military strategy knowledge. Also during Arshag II...we fought the Persians for 22 years in row

I like to go deep in our ancient army warfare and what our army had etc..but am not finding any source.

300............xxxxs

Is a true historical fact.....but here coming from Hollywood.Help the American propaganda against -iranians-muslims-people who dont agree with american politics general.
Use the Spartans (Usa is the Spartans and Persian is the Irianians) but the Spartans never says -for the low and the order-this is a American moto.Spartans fight for the -fathers graves- and the his country the Greece.
Persians want to occupate the Greece like American against the world.After from Iraq is the Iran?I hope no....I hope Iranian make Iran a big ''Vietanm''' for American Army.
The most of people in Greece 96% belive this film is a big xxxx and is not the real story of Leonidas and 300 Spartans with 700 Thespieis(Figheters from another Greek city).The Greeks stoping the Persian Empire in Marathonas in naval battle of Salamina,with generals Miltiadis-Themistoclis and save the Greece and Europe.....sorry we dont make the same in Majikert against Turks(who help from some Armenians) and now all area have problems from Turkish politic.
