About this deal

Artistic License: As Frank Miller put it, he doesn't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Neither does Dilios, who is clearly embellishing the tale more with each retelling (although the sequel film reveals there are a lot of crazy things he is definitely not making up).

With 300 graphic novel, Frank Miller has successfully delivered a monumental moment in history. His interpretation of the world at that period of time is fascinating and the way he pictures the valor of the Spartans is simply remarkable. The story is bluntly to the point and unadulterated, while the artwork is intense, theatrical, and moody. Those combination makes Frank Miller’s 300 graphic novel a thrilling and captivating read. Preview of 300 by Frank Miller (from Dark Horse Comics) Miller’s politics seemed to become more eccentric as his drawing did the same. In 2011, he published what he called “a propaganda comic”: Holy Terror, a gory tale of a caped superhero taking on al-Qaida. In one scene, the hero tortures a suicide bomber as his Catwomanish girlfriend observes that she’s “OK with that.” It’s just one of the book’s many other acts of gory revenge on Miller’s Muslims, who stone and behead people and scream, “Praise Allah!” Readers and critics responded with bafflement and anger; one critic called it “one of the most appalling, offensive and vindictive comics of all time”. It's What I Do: Leonidas explains to the Arcadians that despite having a numerically smaller force, he brought more soldiers then they did.a b " Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson, Vol. 1".

We don't know exactly what the real Ephialtes of Trachis looked like, but he almost certainly wasn't the deformed wretch he is in this movie.

DeFalco "1980s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 228: "Produced by Frank Miller and illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz, Elektra: Assassin was an eight-issue limited series. Because its mature content was inappropriate for children, it was published by Marvel's Epic Comics imprint." Loophole Abuse: Leonidas legally cannot send his army to fight the Persians. So, he decides to just take a walk. To the Hot Gates. With 300 bodyguards. The problem is not that 300 is just a terrible film and a piece of cinematic propaganda. Part of the problem is that " 300 presaged the howling fascism of the alt-right," as Tom Breihan writes for The AV Club. Extreme fringe political groups that advocate white nationalism and a global uprising of white Christians defeating the world have made 300 into a cult item, using it to justify the worst elements of humanity such as genocide, racism, repression, conformity, imperialism, and violence as a solution to any problems.

Retrieved November 25, 2011. Miller works Matt's narrating captions between the present, the past, and his dream imagery of Elektra, a fragmentation given a voiceover straight out of an old crime book, but with a heavy dose of sensitivity that never veers into the maudlin.

The Quisling: Ephialtes turns the tide of the battle in the Persians' favour by revealing a mountain pass that will allow them to outflank the Greek forces. The Persians also bribe the Spartan priests and a member of their senate to facilitate the Persian conquest.

Two-Faced: One of the concubines in Xerxes' harem has massive scarring on only one half of her face. She actually looks normal until she turns her head to look at the traitor Ephialtes. Breccia, again recovered Article by Juan Sasturain. Published on 10-31-2011, Página/12 (in Spanish) He added: “I can’t think of any reason why as a population we should be expected to stand by and see a gross reduction in the living standards of ourselves and our kids, possibly for generations, when the people who have got us into this have been rewarded for it – they’ve certainly not been punished in any way because they’re too big to fail. I think that the Occupy movement is, in one sense, the public saying that they should be the ones to decide who’s too big to fail. Gorgo's reply to the messenger's query of why she dared to speak in the presence of men "Because only Spartan women give birth to real men" was something she said, although historically she said it to a visiting Athenean lady, not a Persian messenger.
