Hi,

(12-01-2009, 03:19 AM)LavCat Wrote: 300 Spartans sounds like the right title, and it was made at the right time, 1962.

Finally got it on NetFlix. It wasn't available for streaming, and got bumped a few times. Sue and I watched the first twenty minutes or so, then I fast forwarded through the rest.

I wasn't looking for a documentary, I've seen plenty. But is it too much to ask for an historical piece to be at lest a little bit right? This was a typical Hollywood production:
Romans, Greeks, Persians? Who cares, they're all ancient people. The least they could have done was had the Persian dancing girls doing a belly dance.
The American audience demands romance, so even if it's totally anachronistic and irrelevant, put in a big glob of modern ('60s) teen behavior.

And so on.

It hurts, but I've got to admit that this film is actually worse than 300. It is both less historically accurate and less entertaining. I somehow feel that I've been taken. If so, congratulations. Well played.
