that was the beauty of 300 - it really painted a black and white picture of good and evil, something that isn’t done very often anymore in todays uber-sensitive political correctness ridden society. If you take it serious it’s offensive and wrong, if you take it as a piece of entertainment it’s OK. And any kind of accuracy wasn’t what 300 was going for, if they were they wouldn’t have included tall monsters, which we all know didn’t exist, lol.
As an Austrian and a German you should probably be offended by dozens of american movies that display germans as evil and Nazis as animals with no human traits. Even the serious ones, like Saving Private Ryan, paint a black and white picture. Here it is much more serious, because it is not done for entertainment purpose at all. I will not forgive Spielberg for this movie. And generally I hate it when filmmakers toy with emotions using a real-life fact or historical event.
