Well, remember, this is Sparta; survival of the fittest and all that.
Probably figured if you were dumb enough to fall into the well, you didn't deserve to live!
Heh.
>>>Better than Gladiator
How so?
Gladiator was a great movie and had characters that were developed. A great movie is more than spectacular fight scenes (and in 300 they were spectacular indeed). Also, where were the chest guards? And, weren't the leg guards only worn on the left leg (the forward one in a phalanx). Also, did the Greeks have such long swords? I thought theirs were quite short (maybe 14 inches of bronze).
Both movies were great. I think 300 will be remembered as the first video game type of movie. It included great action in a fast moving plot. Maybe we could say it was "bloody good."
Gladiator dragged on & on. 300 constant flow & to the point. Much better action than Gladiator.
