I think there's a good reason that this movie had so many deformed characters. All the in the movie the character's outward appearance reflected their inner self, the Spartans were great warriors singlehandly saving Greece(I know this isn't historically accurate) so they were all muscled up and handsome. The Ephors were evil men who had let greed stray them from what they were supposed to be doing and as such they had that disgusting look abou them. Ephialites was a traitor to Greece, who couldn't stand up to the patriotic Greek ideals, as such in the movie he couldn't stand up to the Spartan physical ideals. The councilmen were weak and powerless to do anything in the face of the Persian threat, they were portrayed almost universally as older, less physically fit men and so on and so forth. Every external appearance in this movie reflected in internal condition.
 
Speaking of 300... Did you see last nights episode of south park? The 300 spartans were the women of Les Bos vs. persian night club owners. Xerses was a tranny. it was really funny.

Don't plan on seeing it. I find the Spartans repugnant enough that I have no more interest in seeing a fictionalized idealistic portrait of them than I would in seeing a fictionalized, idealistic portrait of the Nazis.
Perhaps they did make Western Civilization possible by fighting at Thermopylae. So what? The USSR did an awful lot to make the defeat of the Nazis real. Doesn't make Stalin and his commissars into heroes.
I'll pass.
 
So the entire thing is just a bunch of macho BS designed to appeal to such emotions.

Some of you guys are such tight wads.
It was a great movie from the standpoint of resistance, overwhelming odds, and just plain massive burliness. I am a slim build fellow and take no offence at the improbable beefiness of those dudes. To me, strength is represented physically on screen but can manifest in many forms. I loved the part where they are all laughing on the cliffs in the rainstorm, that was buff. The movie is a 'comic book' put into film. It's supposed to be over the top. It has many great elements. I can see also how a minority person would be slightly offended, I can see how other people might take offense or see the propoganda in it - but then again, I get slightly offended everyday with crap in the news, in the media, and on my local radio station. Get over it!
