Hi All,
I have a copy of the script of 300 (a friend auditioned for a role) and the inaccuracies in the film script are much worse than in the graphic novel - oh well!
As an aside - one problem with the Alexander battle scenes were the close order phalanx being far to far apart and the effect of Persian volley fire (from an inordinate distance too) was too devastating. f you could decimate a Macedonian phalanx with such volleys that would have been all the Persian's would have done and Alexander's numbers would have dwindled far too quickly. But that is just being picky!
Cheers
Murray
