300

Went to see 300 yesterday.

Not really into the blood and guts and gore but having just finished reading the Persians, felt it would be good to see.
Visually, I found it interesting. The battles and the storys behind them were one sided and therefore did not do the Persian Empire or the Spartans justice. But then what should one expect from a source of entertainment?
Since Hollywood's treatment of a small part of Scottish history in the infamous Braveheart, I have come to take historical fact in films as fiction inspired by history. I hope other do, too and use this film as an impetus to find out more about the Persians (Achaemenid Empire) and the Spartans.
