In this video clip, the last scene of the movie is shown depicting only the Spartans fighting the Persian forces, although they were also accompanied by other armies (Fitzgerald). The warriors' costumes can also be seen to be inaccurate as the Spartans did not go into battle bare chested (Borza), and the scene is set to dramatic music to make the battle more intense and suspenseful.
To what extent are movies based on historical events accurate? How do filmmakers change the accuracy to appeal to popular culture and do they make movies based on the common perception of what happened (i.e. what people want to believe happened)?
