300 the movie?

[Arthes]

The diractor of the film simply wanted to impress the lady viewrs with an eyefull of handsome men :twisted:

Well, us ladies have no argument with that...... :lol: :lol: although it would be much better if what they did have looked rather more authentic.... :wink:

If somebody want to make anaccurte film knowldge is there.
Its only bussinessmen are not convinced that historical authenticity makes moany for them :evil:

That's true.....look at all the nastiness Oliver Stone got for trying to make something close to authentic, but adding in some of the 'Hollywoodisms' that were obviously needed to get backing for the film....he made that film out of a long time admiration for Alexander .... not just as a potential money spinner...!
I would love to see the other two hours of 'cuts'.
There is nothing wrong with making a film, close to authenticity and still having nice looking men and women playing the roles.....but the public have to be pandered to.....
How often do late Romans get called 'Vikings' because they look nothing like the public's view of Romans for instance.
As for Helen of Troy being refilmed with Helen looking as she probably really looked
(picture from http://www.arch-ant.bham.ac.uk ) and Paris dressed more like a Scythian :lol: Wouldn't it be good though...!
PS...I think this Helen looks beautiful....far more impressive than the 'usual' ones we see...
