- Women don't generally talk.
- Queens/wives/mothers don't get names.
- Shouting platitudes can apparently get people to do really desperate things.
- Dark skinned people are eeeeevil!
- Nose rings are eeeeeevil!
- Girls who sleep together are eeeeevil!
- Eeeeevil kings will wear girlie makeup!
- (and I can be totally jealous of whatever the hell was on his lips!)
- Dark skinned girls will sleep together.
- And be eeeeeevil!
- Any men who do not have sculpted (and perhaps, just perhaps, cgi'd) abs are pussy weakliartraitors.
- Hey also: blackmailing a woman into sex isn't rape!
- Ancient Greeks, especially Spartans, had really great dental plans.
- Persians, not so much.
- No, seriously, those Greeks? For the most part: really white, straight, clean teeth. With fillings.
- Any society that accepts imperfection: eeeeeevil!
- Facial piercings: eeeeeeevil!
- Also: when it comes to movies I might enjoy, a craptastic script rife with cliched dialogue, homophobia, xenophobia and misogyny cannot make up for visually stunning cinematography. Apparently I need some there there.
(For those who wondered: yes, there is only one woman who has any lines at all in this movie, and she doesn't get a name. Oh, wait, there's the adolescent "oracle" who gets to show some tit and whisper some ancient Greek, but she doesn't get a name either. Or, y'know, a personality. Just a tit and some cool cinematography.)
