Yeah, whatever, it's a cool movie, and the ancient Persians are still ragheads. Are you always such a kill joy?

How am I a kill joy? I admit that it's a cool movie and I can't wait to see it. Still, I would be highly skeptical that this movie is delivering a political message instead of an artistic one.

"The Greeks were exceptionally cruel to the nations they conquered."
"This is a red-herring. The Muslims have no claim to the Ancient Persian civilization."
You're killing the fantasy with your frikkin' facts! ;)

the ancient persian empire was much more kind to the jews than the greek empire

I agree. Specific kings were indeed better to the Jews through their policy of local autonomy.

I viewed the trailers on the official "300" Website.
Looks like a real winner in terms of entertainment.
I couldn't help but think that "300" is going to be the best recruitment tool for the U.S. Armed Forces we've had in our time.
Also found myself projecting our contemporary U.S. & Western Civilization vs Islamic barbarism situation on to the story line.
Very surreal film; everything in it very much "over the top", and is most definitely not a historical reenactment movie, nor is it even a factually correct story.
Even so, I have to admit that not only could I not take my eyes off of the preview trailers, but I went back and watched each one three times consecutively.
