Question

Is the representation of the Persians in the movie 300 distorted? What social issues of 2007 (or even the present) resonate against this representation? (200 words)

Answer 1

Let me simply state right of the bat I thought this present film's portrayal of the Persians and Spartans showed a degree of poor taste that was astounding. For the record I'd like to call attention to that I am mindful the Persians Empire was a socially modern spot for now is the ideal time, and a far less savage one contrasted with even the more dynamic and edified Greek urban communities of the period. Not to mention Sparta which actually speaks to one of the most brutal and authoritarian systems to have existed in mankind's history. Having said that I guess the movie producers were endeavoring a more emblematic than strict portrayal of the Persians as observed through the eyes of the unenlightened and panicked Greeks of that period.

Social issue of 2007 was-

In 480 B.C. a condition of war exists between Persia, driven by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), social issues were there in Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), lord of the Greek city territory of Sparta, drives his severely dwarfed warriors against the monstrous Persian armed force. In spite of the fact that unavoidable demise anticipates the Spartans, their penance moves all of Greece to join against their shared adversary.
