WE ARE SPARTA!!!!!
IMO people underestimate the historical accuracy of this movie......sure the rhinos / monsters and the way the spartans fought was a little.......different, the events were basically right. At birth Spartan children were examined and if they had any defects they were tossed at that spot shown in the movie, they grew up training and at 7 entered the military. The scene where Leonidas went to the oracle (historically it was the oracle ar Delphi, dont know if this was the same as the movie) but got a little different messege but it was in the same area. As the movie said, it was 300 spartans with 7000ish other greeks. The group held off the persians and killed around 20,000 of them before, just as the movie had shown, the Persians were able to get behind them. One of my favorite scenes from the movie was when they launched the arrows at the Spartans, this actually happened and the arrows were ineffective because of the Spartan\'s armor.
One of my favorite movies in a while
