Rome and 300 really shouldn't ever be put in the same sentence. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 19/01/2010 01:20:16 AM
One was a respectably accurate retelling of political turmoil, with a few embellishments where sources aren't revealing about characters. The other was a complete fabrication tenuously based on a battle.

This looks like the latter, which is very unfortunate. :(

You are mistaken. Both films/shows were close to their source material.. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 19/01/2010 02:29:00 AM 537 Views
I am not mistaken. The assumption that the source material is correct is inane. Ghavrel - 19/01/2010 05:23:20 AM 630 Views
The source of 300 is the graphic novel, not history ironclad - 19/01/2010 11:35:59 AM 560 Views
And the graphic novels gets its source material/distorts its source material from where? The Shrike - 19/01/2010 04:58:30 PM 542 Views
The question is what the film aimed to be ironclad - 19/01/2010 07:45:18 PM 538 Views
It aimed to be shit. And it succeeded. The Shrike - 19/01/2010 10:55:57 PM 530 Views
And, as I said, that places it in a much lower league of quality than ROME, which was very accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/01/2010 04:17:57 AM 229 Views
You do realize that the Graphic Novel is a work of fiction, right? MightyYT - 20/01/2010 05:24:27 PM 518 Views
Golly, gee! I never knew! Thanks for all that. *NM* The Shrike - 20/01/2010 11:56:59 PM 233 Views
300 is deliberately supposed to be non-historical, but this message got lost somewhere along the way Werthead - 21/01/2010 01:47:50 AM 546 Views
That was such a stupid potential argument that I gave him the benefit of the doubt and discarded it. Ghavrel - 20/01/2010 04:17:10 AM 501 Views
Why are you guys getting so worked up about this? ironclad - 20/01/2010 11:37:53 AM 506 Views
