You can laugh from anyone as much as you like. The problem is 1)Nowhere in the description do they write "Comedy Movie" 2)The movie is crapping an entire civilization's history+culture that's different from laughing about bush or whatever.

The special thing about the middle east is that it's in the ****ing middle of nowhere(/sarcasm).

Edit: Found a statement made by WB.

Quote:
A Warner Bros. spokesman said: "The film 300 is a work of fiction inspired by the Frank Miller graphic novel and loosely based on an historical event. The studio developed this film purely as a fictional work with the sole purpose of entertaining audiences; it is not meant to disparage an ethnicity or culture or make any sort of political statement
And that`s all there is to it.. just fiction, in other words nothing worth ranting about.

Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine?"

Example1:So if I spill hot coffee on someone without saying sorry and claiming that it's loosely based on a fiction action movie (Ronin) then it's OK?

Example2: WB burnt the toast. WB says they didn't mean to burn the toast. WB doesn't apologize for burning the toast.

Example3: A hypothetical Unixlord creates a hypothetical movie about Greeks getting mowed down by lawnmowers operated by priests. It sells well. The entire (hypothetical) western media would explode in rage and cries of "HOW DARE THEY?".

Unixlord, I bet you think Sam & Frodo were based on true story too??? You think orchs and goblins are for real??? 300 is fictional entertainment based on true story. Nothing to get too excited about. The Persians in the movie doesnt even look like persians, maybe just because its ENTERTAINMENT. As much entertainment as LOTR, you didnt cry out when Hollywood cut out important caracters included in the LOTR movies?? So buhu, who cares.... If people believe stuff that happens in movies, then they deserve to believe them, because they are morons. Let them. They are propably white trailor trash of somekind anyways!!?
