"This movie never claims to be historically accurate, so asking for a historical review is, quite frankly, a waste of time." Does the movie claim to be historically inaccurate? You forget that this is based on real people and events of history and frankly as an Iranian I am not bothered whether we lose or win, rather it is the depiction that troubles me. (Our king is shown as a gay!) Art for the sake of art! Truth for the sake of truth! Freedom for the sake of freedom! you will notice that some of these examples and others can not coexist! Should we lie in order to entertain!? Is morality above pleasure or not? and many other questions that need to be answered philosophically. People (majority) who argue that 300 is just a movie based on comics, have little understanding of reality of current world affairs and little understanding of responsibility and implications of our every single action. There is nothing sacred but pleasure for them and if it means to lie and slander a nation then so be it. This backward mentality is a direct effect of liberalism and destroying morality. Ironically it is the very aim of this movie to generate such feelings as honour and courage among people who have almost totally lost touch with spirituality and God, who know nothing other than this material world. Finally as an Iranian I tell you that we are Shia Muslims (mostly), and Islam is against nationalism and ancestor worship, placing the element of unity solely on belief. Brother is one who holds the same principles and values sacred and enemy is one who defiles and opposes them. The situation is extremely black and white and there is nothing grey! Only when an individual holds no particular view on an issue he can be considered to be standing in the shade, the truth is that the moment people believe in something they are already either black(false) or white(true). Perhaps the future clash between US and Iran will enlighten people of earth. Have nice dream و عدو الهم مستطعتم من قوه

Sodagar, you're kidding, right? This movie never claims to be historically accurate, so asking for a historical review is, quite frankly, a waste of time. It sure is fun to watch people make such fools out of themselves though.

It is a proven scholarly fact that the Persian Empire in 480 B.C was the most magnificent and civilized empire. Established by the Cyrus the great, the writer of the first human right declaration, Persians ruled over significant portions of Greater Iran, the east modern Afghanistan and beyond into central Asia; in the north and west all of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), the upper Balkans peninsula (Thrace), and most of the Black Sea coastal regions; in the west and southwest the territories of modern Iraq, northern Saudi-Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, all significant population centers of ancient Egypt and as far west as portions of Libya. Having twenty nations under control, encompassing approximately 7.5 million square kilometers, unquestionably the Achaemenid Empire was territorially the largest empire of classical antiquity. Based on the Zoroastrian doctrine, it was the strong emphasis on honesty and integrity that gave the ancient Persians credibility to rule the world, even in the eyes of the people belonging to the conquered nations (Herodotus, mid 5th century B.C). Truth for the sake of truth, was the universal motto and the very core of the Persian culture that was followed not only by the great kings, but even the ordinary Persians made it a point to adhere to this code of conduct. We did not expect Warner Bros. Picture company, as one of the world's largest producers of film and television entertainment to ignore the proven obvious historical facts, and damage its own reputation by showing the Persian army at the battle of Thermopylae as some monstrous savages, and thus create an atmosphere of public mistrust in its content, and hurt the national pride of the millions of Persians while doing so. While announcing our disgust at such a heresy, we demand an immediate historical review and quick apology from the responsible people.

Well 300 is a great movie, but just this year alone, Children of Men is still #1 in my book and I doubt anything will knock it down.

Certainly it's the best film of the 21st Century so far, if one considers cool beheadings to be the criterion for judgement.
