You know, "based on true events" doesn't exactly mean "this really and absolutely happened without a shadow of a doubt". This IS based on true events to the extent that for a brief moment on Christmas in 1914, both Germans and the British laid down arms and shared a mutual respite in hostilities. THAT is well represented in this film and I think whoever created it did an excellent job in conveying that, even if it was through a situation that may or may not have happened.

Of course, since it is your word against history and those recounted by the men that were actually there (http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/truce.asp, http://www.firstworldwar.com/features/christmastruce.htm, http://www.lib.byu.edu/~english/WWI/historical/ChristmasTruce.html, http://expage.com/truce1, etc.), such a situation obviously couldn't have happened. Moreover, if you had bothered to read the above link, you would have seen that such an instance was apocryphal, and that men from both sides did indeed congregate to bury their dead and sing songs in addition to exchanging gifts.

Promo trailer for Frank Miller's "300"

I loved the game God of War, but I don't know if it would transfer to film all that well.

However, I think 300 looks pretty cool, but I'm a bit reserved about it. It's sort of like Gladiator in content, and alot like Sin City in style (what with Frank Miller's involvement and all . I've been hearing so much about this film for the past year that it is finally cool to see some of it in motion, but I just hope it works out well. Given the obvious R rating, I don't think the creators of the film will try to pull any punches, but we'll see. (=
