I present you a trailer for 300, Frank Miller's version of the Battle of Thermopylae, probably one of the most badass battles in history, and also one of the most exaggerated about (probably). However, it's tough, when you read about it, to not believe Western civilization was saved by the actions of these men, saved to go on and destroy many other further west civilizations. O xein', angellein Lakedaimoniois hoti têde keimetha tois keinon rhémasi peithomenoi. Zing. "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie. Zing."* *- From Wikipedia, "Battle of Thermopylae"
The battle at Alamo is the most exaggerated battle in history. So much so that they compared it to the Spartan's battle at Thermopylae.

I love this story. If this battle had occured a thousand years prior, I'm positive it would be known to us as an epic mythic battle between the gods. I can't wait for this movie. |
