i loved taht movie too, but you some ppl out there who claim it's just a piece of anti-arab propaganda! i mean, the graphic novel came out way before 9/11 even happened! and the battle happened historically way before that! the only complaint i have of the movie is that i thinkthey should have really stressed how important the 300 spartans defense was. for if they hadn't rallied the greek forces..and fought back the persian empire..there would be no democracy today. no american government..nothing with that politcal view. so what they did was very very important! go sparta!!!
