Am I the only one that finds this comment totally ignorant?

I don't know but do you know if Persians really dressed like that? I'm guessing they did but I am also guessing they might have over did it for the movie. Maybe I'm wrong but whatever.

I know that the movie was not totally accurate (intentionally) and maybe the dress for the Persians was part of that. And besides, I was being humorous when I made the first comment.

I find Holly ignorant but that's besides the point.

I thought that the appearance of Xerxes was somewhat androgynous to juxtapose Leonidas` masculinity.

Did you not pay attention to South Park? Xerxes is a woman! (and she can scissor with the best of 'em)

@necroodin - I think you're right...I hadn't thought about that but it does make sense!

I was very impressed with the art direction in this film, even more so than Sin City, as good as that was. I just loved the stylization of the cimetography, and the color schemes that seemed to work perfectly for each particular scene.
Of course, the action was great too.

Great movie....finally saw it on the IMAX.

Yeah, Xerxes was wrong. (For one thing, he had a beard historically.) The Persians probably didn't have Uruk-Hai-like critters at Thermopylae, nor did they have elephants there -- it would have been hell getting them across the Hellespont.

The actual battle and the numbers involved WERE accurate. Talk about one hell of a last stand! The final arrow barrage is historical and the remains have been found by archeologists. There is actually a tomb and memorial at the site today....as there should be.
