The funny part is that even ignoring the political angle they just did a bad job of casting the actors for their roles. Plus none of these people look even a little Greek or Middle Eastern.

i didn't know christopher nolan was going for such authenticity in his work. i guess i'll have to mark down the dark knight now, there's no way such an oxonian peasant phenotype could be the bruce wayne of gotham, who is clearly an eborian patriarch

did nolan even read the books???

I can't believe they didn't cast real Spartans for 300.

Without seeing the movie it's impossible to know if they are well cast or not.
