Are you seriously going to tell me what I myself said? It's not my problem you can't read, stop making a fool of yourself by trying to put words into my mouth.

*Spitfire* · 10-27-2007, 02:29 PM

How did I put words in your mouth that's a direct quote of what you said. If you can't admit your own ignorance that's not my problem. I come here to have fun not get yelled at by pissy people who like to start arguments and get mad when they lose.

If it was, then it's the most beautiful parody I've ever read. (art-wise)

So...if the comic was historically inaccurate...and the movie is an adaptation of the comic...then why would there be expectation for the movie to be historically accurate?

*Sewer Bull* · 10-29-2007, 08:32 AM

Whoever said I expected the movie to be historically accurate to be able to wholly enjoy it?

*Spitfire* · 10-30-2007, 07:41 AM

Yeah I never got that assault on the film. Even the news paper took stabs at it. Obviously it wasn't supposed to be because it had monsters in it...That's from the reason why I thought the movie was bad.

It's not only about the monsters, I'd have more problems with Spartans being pictured as some noble defenders of the everlasting civilization values like freedom or democracy. In fact, Spartans, constituting a rather totalitarian state ruled by religious leaders, were very far from being the pinnacle of the Ancient Greek democracy.

I don't think many people are going to believe that trained monsters were used in the battle of Thermopylae - but some might be deceived by the depiction of Spartans and Sparta and believe they were cool, tough and freedom-loving guys, ready to fight to death for their higher values. Especially when we look at this movie in a more metaphorical manner and treat Spartans as the Western Civilization and Persians as the Muslim World.
