Ancient warfare movies

[Cbvani]

I liked 300, and here is why.
It wasn't a war film, it was a propaganda film, and a damn cool one at that. Think "Triumph of the Will" only less Hitler, more ridiculously defined abs.

Just to head this one off now, I appriciate Triumph of the Will on an artistic basis, and think Hitler was evil.

I agree with it being a propaganda film. Sadly, 99% of the population here (in the USA) with their 5 minute attention spans were too busy running back home to watch American Idol or some other such serves only as a distraction bullshite to ever think long enough (hopefully, a few seconds would suffice) to realize that what they were seeing was blatant propaganda.

"OMG dood, thoze buff freedom loving completely heterosexually masculine spartanz TOTALLY kicked those muslim persians' asses!"

This country is certainly doomed within the next 50 years, if that, given that the generation just after mine (I'm 26) may as well have come from Mars for all I can tell. I'm not supposed to be talking about the "damn kids" like this until I'm 50 or so...

about the HBO Rome- it was a great serries but unfortunatly it ran out of events to run on
(death of ceaser to octavian but idk)
I bet you all
Ceasers campaign in gual and assasination by senators then civil war and octavian then cleopatra is like the most recognizable historic fact about the roman republic/pre empire by anyone who has went to school
i gurantee u that :D

HBO's Rome was not intended to go for more than 2 seasons and I think that is quite good this way. I prefer a short series with stable high niveau instead of a long series that grows stupid or boring with time. Quality over quantity should be the maxime of TV stations!
