Seriously... Is it genetic or what?? It seems that every time a movie about a certain period or group of people comes out the majority take it as gospel and never look into the reality. It happened with Gladiator, with The Last Samurai, and now we see it with 300!! Hate to be the one to break it to you but the Germanic people's fought nekkid with only wooden spears and in the battle the movie shows they won and left only 3 men alive to return to Rome with a message not to return. The samurai did use firearms, the white guy that fought with the samurai in the Satsuma rebellion was French, and the ideal of Bushido is a very far cry from what the samurai really were. As for "300" and the Spartans I've seen someone on here post that they didn't use the phalanx and that they didn't wear armour. Yes they DID wear armour and did use the phalanx. Why can't people see movies and be inspired to investigate the reality? Why do so many blindly & stupidly take what Hollywood says as gospel?
