Media Literacy on the movie 300 Question 2

Did the "God-King" Xerxes really look like the one in the movie? If different, why did the directors make him to be like that?

  1. No.They do not look the same.Xerxes wanted to take over the world so he can't look too common.That's why the directors wanted to show that Xerxes had piercings and looked tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;D by I <3 Ham!

  2. The 'God-King' Xerxes wore a robe of honour that was a large piece of fabric that was draped around him. For the king and other aristocracy, their clothes were often decorated with golden clothing ornaments.
    The director made him to be like that as that was what he percepted of the people involved in that event.
