I think the best film would be a surealistic portrayal of Phocian hoplites wondering about the meaning of life while encamped beside an idyllic forest path. They wax all Walden over the meaning of existence and the role of their little polis as caught between the Scylla of Sparta and the Charybdis of Persia. The movie climaxes with their reveries broken by a frantic alarm and a hurried flight up a small hillock to watch all of the pretty persian colors as the immortals march past.
:lol:
