300's inclusion in this list shows how little the author understands it. Actually very few people understand the movie in the first place. I'll explain it though:
The reason why things are so big/exaggerated/mystical is because the entire story is told through the words of a man chosen for his skill in storytelling. That is: when you see a giant 100ft elephant, it is because the storyteller is describing them to be that tall - not that they actually were.
