The movie 300 was made to put Persians down because the relation between USA and Iran.

I have many reasons to consider “300” the worst movie ever made because of amount of lies about History and Persians.

1. They showed the king of Persia as a homosexual which is totally not true. In fact, Greek believed having sex with another general or soldier makes them stronger in battle. They believed loving a man who's a soldier means they love their army more than their own family. So if somebody was gay, it was Greeks not Persians.

2. They displayed the movie as if the Persians were wild and violence. If you paid attention to the beginning of the movie, they showed that Greeks were killing the new born babies if their skull was misshaped. Also, they were training the children to be violence, theft and killers.

3. Xerxes was religion like any other Persian. The religion was Zoroastrian. Zoroastrian believed in 2 gods: The Evil god and the good god. They believed WOMEN AND MEN should be equaled. For that fact, they had woman in army as generals and soldiers. So that makes another misleading in the movie.

In conclusion,
The movie 300 was an insult to Persians and History. I should say that the concept art and graphics were stunning but the story line was absolutely bogus.

Actually the movie is true. Not all of it. But it did happen in real life. I watched a segment on the History Channel, and I also did a research on the movie before I saw. The movie was very graphic, and they added a lot of extra stuff. But I hope the Info I provide for you will help.

In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC, an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the invader in one of history's most famous last stands. A small force led by King Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes I could pass. After three days of battle, a local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks by revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. Dismissing the rest of the army, King Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespian volunteers. Though they knew it meant their own deaths, they held their position and secured the retreat of the other Greek forces. The Persians succeeded in taking the pass but sustained heavy losses, extremely disproportionate to those of the Greeks. The fierce resistance of the Spartan-led army offered Athens the invaluable time to prepare for a decisive naval battle.[1] The subsequent Greek victory at the Battle of Salamis left much of the Persian navy destroyed and Xerxes was forced to retreat back to Asia, leaving his army in Greece under Mardonius, who was to meet the Greeks in battle one last time. The Spartans assembled at full strength and led a pan-Greek army that defeated the Persians decisively at the Battle of Plataea, ending the Greco-Persian War and with it Persian expansion into Europe.[2]

The performance of the defenders at the battle of Thermopylae is often used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment, and good use of terrain to maximize an army's potential, and has become a symbol of courage against overwhelming odds. The heroic sacrifice of the Spartans and the Thespians has captured the minds of many throughout the ages and has given birth to many cultural references as a result.

Ok. The Persians were wimps and they lost fair and squared. The 300 Spartans DID fend off one million Persian slaves. There is no insult, read a history book.

Make a better movie telling your side of the story. No need for bombs or bloodshed.
