My favourite recent historical movie is 300. I liked it for its innovative and gorgeous cinematography, and for its accurate portrayal of ancient history.

I have not seen a movie that better encapsulates the ancient Greeks' love for heroism, for proto-fascism, and for sodomy. Wait, not the latter, I must be confused with this flick I saw late last night and

What is Thermopylae? It is a minor battle, the account of which can be related in five minutes, written on half a page.
Or, Thermopylae is a legend, a celebration of martial values, of Greek love for heroism, the epitome of Spartan civilization.

300 is the best, and most correct modern account of 'Thermopylae'. Of the latter Thermopylae, the real Thermopylae.

Isn't there a saying about artists using lies to tell the truth?
