I don't know. I think between showing something and doing the job, Leonidas will always choose the latter. I think his miss showed that he, Leonidas, is mortal and that he can get tired. That he is only a human. A very strong human. Actually, I think his miss showed that both of them are just humans. Nobody is ideal.
@@alexp6581he wasn't tired. He knew they could win. The mismatch was overwhelming. His purpose was to inspire the rest of Sparta. That's why he sent the messenger back.
@@marct8160 Okay, thanks for the info. Never knew there is a comic book base out there for this movie. If the last scene has the one and only meaning - the director's, so be it. But it was not that obvious for me as it is shown in the movie. Sometimes movies leave it to you to think of what might the ending means. If this movie is not it then fine.
Facts: 1. King Leonidas was around 60 years old when he fought this battle..!! Also today's military schools, teach his war tactics.. 🔥⚔ 2. Efialtis (Εφιάλτης) (The traitor who told Persians the secret passage), actually means "Nightmare" in Greek 3. The phrases below, were actually told by Spartans in that battle a) Get back with your shield, or on it. (᾿Ή τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς) b) Then we will fight in the shade. (Εἰ ἀποκρυπτόντων τῶν Μήδων τὸν ἥλιον ὑπὸ σκιῇ ἔσοιτο πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἡ μάχη καὶ οὐκ ἐν ἡλίῳ)** c) Come and get them. (Μολὼν λαβέ) (Actual translation/meaning: "If you find the mental reserves, come and get them") P.S.: Spartans didn't wore full armor because it was heavy and would make them move slow in the battle.. Also their swords, spears and shields where made from various alloys that made them very superior against other armies.. **Dienekes, disciplined, modest, and laconic, at the age of forty, had declined every proposal for promotion and advancement. He remained at the rank of Enomotarch, commanding 32 or 36 men, because, as he said, "…I only know how to count up to thirty-six!" According to the laws of Lycurgus, he could have avoided participating in the campaign since he had no male children. However, he arranged for one of his slaves to claim she had given birth to his son, allowing him to take part. Besides, he was a dear friend of Leonidas, and they often dined together. Dienekes had studied fear and asserted, “If we drive it out of the flesh, where it is born, the mind will simply follow.” His fearlessness led him, along with the Olympic champion brothers Alpheus and Maron, the sons of Orsiphantus, on a daring nighttime raid to Xerxes' tent. They nearly assassinated him, but his generals Mardonius and Orontes moved him elsewhere in time. Dienekes ultimately fulfilled the meaning of his name: "the eternal," "the one who lasts forever," "the unstoppable," through his "excellence" on the third day of the battle. Herodotus describes the furious battle of the Lacedaemonians around the dead body of Leonidas until, after killing Xerxes’ two brothers, Abrocomes and Hyperanthes, they dragged the body towards their side, routing the enemy four times. When they were encircled by the traitor Ephialtes, they retreated to the hill at the entrance of the pass. “...At that very place, they made their final stand, using knives if they still had them, or their hands and teeth, while the barbarians covered them with arrows, not daring to approach them…” Thus, the tragic truth of the unstoppable warrior Dienekes’ statement was confirmed: “...If the Medes darken the sun, we will fight them in the shade and not in the sunlight...” The brave Greeks fought to the bitter end, “In the Shade.”
The movie is loosely based on the actual historical Battle of Thermopylae that occurred in 480 BC. The story of the 300 is actually a reference to last battle scene where Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans and fought to the death.
@@user-lv5bt3nt3r - A storm did destroy a lot of the Persian ships and supplies. A very small contingent of Greeks did hold off a VAST army of Persians for several days at the 'hot gates'. The Persians did bring various 'beasts'. Xerxes was considered to be tall. They did have a lot of archers. Leonidas did stay and fight to the end. You're missing the fact that ALL of this is narrated by the lone messenger sent back to tell the tale. And he told it in the style of any Greek epic tale. And the VISUALS you are seeing are what the people hearing that tale would imagine while hearing that tale. If the narrator said Xerxes was a giant next to Leonidas, this is what the listener would see in their mind. Every bit of this film from beginning to end, is the narration that occurred later... just before the battle at Marathon. Even the wolf at the beginning... no wolf looks like that. But in the creative words of the narrator, it becomes like the darkest, meanest hellhound beast. So all the basic elements of the story are there and they are true, it's just that you're seeing it in the fanciful imaginations of those who weren't there, but are preparing for the next battle. So instead of going by the visuals, listen instead to the narration. The visuals are all imaginary.
The narrator who was one of two sent back dies at the end in the battle of Plataea. Both were accused of cowardness despite the fact that they were sent back. One commits suicide and the other dies in battle. He was still considered a coward, so he decided when the two armies met ( Greeks and Persians) to go beyond the shield wall of the conflicting armies into the enemy lines fighting to the death to show his bravery. Also at the end of the Battle of Thermopylae when he dispersed the army not all of the others besides the Spartans stayed, about 1200 stayed with the remaining Spartans and 9k were dispersed.
12:33 As he says, a single weak spot in the phalanx, and it falls apart. Every man has to be strong. The fact he struggles to raise the shield even once indicates he's not fit for it.
19:39 - They’re called Immortals because they’re interchangeable. If one dies, there’s another (or the same guy… who knows?”). They show no skin, identical weapons, identical uniforms, etc.
19:25 they were called The Immortals because there were so many of them it seemed like for everyone you kill there were two more and they just kept coming like they never died there was no end to them...... and they the history is a little off in this movie but you know they took some Liberties at this time in history The Immortals that only served the Persians for about 70 or 80 years........... not 400 but all the badass lines in this movie were actually said Herodotus wrote it down...... I've actually been to site where the Battle of Thermopylae took place...... I stood on the hill where they made their last stand.... it was badass
Another amazing reaction! Would love to see some comedy reactions like the American Pie movies, Van Wilder, Blazing Saddles and the Super Trooper movies.
And the Trader was eventually hunted down and killed afterwards...... the battle only took place for about 3 days and historians estimate that the 300 and the 4,000 Athenians that fought at Thermopylae killed around 30000 Persians in 3 days..... there's only one Spartan Survivor he returned to Sparta and everybody pretty much cast him out and called him a traitor for not dying with the rest of them....... but he made it up at the Battle of platea... the last scene of the movie the battle...... it lasted for 13 days
19:16 the mask they where hides their identity. There fore when on dies it wouldn't seem as obvious a specific one died, cause you can just put the mask on another soldier.. making them seem immortal..
Two comments many people don't get the full meaning of... 1) his queen says "Return with your shield or on it." - Those shields were HEAVY so if a soldier broke, he'd drop it to run away faster (unencumbered) and tradition was to carry the dead on their shield... So what she really said, was return victorious or die with honour. 2) The kiung to the hunchback: "May you live forever" - to Spartans (and many greeks) life was hard, and an honourable death (especially in combat) was the only way to heaven. Basically he was cursing the him to live forever and never know peace or heaven. This was based on real events. Liberties were taken but real. The 300 stood against a horde and motivated "All Greece" to stand against them and... well Greece won.
Nice reaction, this is based upon a comic book story by the renowned Frank Miller, directed by Zack Davis in the style of the comic, hence the resemblance.
You watched "The Last Samurai " This is the battle that Alderen talked about. 300 Spartans faced a million Persians after three days of battle the Persians had lost almost all desire for battle. Known as the Battle of Thermopylae In Sparta the women would say to the men as they handed over their shield. "With this or On this" in other words come back victorious or come back dead. They were called The immortals because they were always 10,000 men with in their ranks. After a battle how ever many were lost would be replaced with more men. So it was as if they never died.
btw historically the reason the immortals were called that is bc there were always 10 thousand of them and every time one died he was quickly replaced giving others the impression that they couldn't be beaten or killed.
Historically The Immortals were called that because they would take the bodies off the battlefield so nobody would ever see a dead immortal no matter what the battles like you would never see one lying there so people would think that no matter what you did to them they wouldn't die and since the armor made them all look the same
I heard that they all dressed the same and there were so many of them that when one died the man behind him would take his place. Not saying you are wrong or that I am an expert on the subject, just saying what I heard.
Leonidas made the god king bleed. One of the best retellings of the Battle of Thermopolis (heavily fictionalized as it is). Many of the lines said in this movie, like Come and take them, or we shall fight in the shade are attributed to have really been said at the battle.
Leonidas was about 55-65 when he accomplished this. The orator is slso in Lord of the rings and Van Helsing! There's a Bible tie in here. When Greece messed up the Persians and the Bible woman Ruth caught the eye and ear of king Xerxes, she started pecking them down from the inside, it was over for Persia! Type in here Jamie Foxx talks about 300 and Gerard Butler! The saying come and take them! In Greek is Molon Labe' if u see a shirt or cap with a Spartan helmet and that saying over it, now you know! 2000 years later, battle of Gonzales, the Mexican army came to town, demanding their cannon back. The texxans told them, come and take it! If u see a shirt cap or flag, yellow or white background, black sidee cannon, black star over it, with that saying, now you know! I have the cannon and star tatted on each pec, molon Labe' over one, come and take it, over the other, cuz I'm Texxan like that! Michael fassbender also played young Magneto and did the assassin's Creed movie, and inglorious basterds! The movies sin city and the watchmen, were much like this! The modern day rangers have this mentality and say, "HUAHH!" for just about everything! Watch the True Story war movie, Blackhawk down!
Actually when these events took place, Leonidas WAS NOT the military king of Sparta, it was his older insane cousin who threw the Persian messengers down the city's well, Leonidas was still training in the agoge, his older cousin died from dementia just before Leonidas returned from the agoge, and since he was the next member of the royal family member in line, he became the military King of Sparta, while his uncle remained the civilian King of Sparta, Sparta was different from all the other Greek City States, as they were the only one who had 2 Kings, one specifically to control the military, and the other to control the civilian government. but it WAS King Leonidas who stood to their last breath with his 300 men, now this movie is a "SOMEWHAT" accurate telling of real events, but this movie is being told from the perspective of a graphic novel, but the story itself, DID happen, and all but 1 of the 300 Spartans including King Leonidas, died during the Battle of Thermopylae.
In Athens not perfect newborns were put on a hill to expire. A male who was in the line or spare to be King did not go through the same military training life of others, Leonidas became a King unexpectedly after going through all of it as he was not near enough to have been expected to be King. The last words said by The King to Queen were "Marry a good man & bare good children. That is love.
This is loosely based on the war of Thermopylae which took place between the Persian empire and the alliance of Greek city-states, And king Leonidas is buried in his tomb in Sparta Greece. located in the north in the modern town of sparta snd its the only preserved monument from the ancient Agora.
Some of the hardest quotes i've ever heard came from this movie. I recommend checking out the dc animated movie Constantine city of demons. It's got a quote that I'd put in the top 10 hardest quotes of all time.
Perhaps a venture into history would be appropriate before endeavoring into something based on historical events. Sure this is a dramatization in the flavor of a graphic novel, but knowing something of history is of value to this day
And when they were making their final stand when they were surrounded the advance toward the Persians in Leonidas was one of the first people killed all the other Spartans ran up they grabbed his body and they retreated back to the hill where they made their final stand
This movie is film adaptation for comic book “300”. Because of that a lot of facts and scenes too epic and two dramatic. Spartans look more like strip dancers with shields than warriors. It’s definitely not a documentary film.
Fyi as good as this is check out LAW ABIDING CITIZEN also with Gerard Butler and Jaime Foxx keeps you guessing till the end bring your vengeance game and let it be strong and also MAN ON FIRE with Denzel Washington
MARRIED. This was 480 years before the bible. People didn’t marry like you think. And this is based on an actual event. Off course dramatically changed for audiences. Even the old Greek knew how to draw audiences.
Sparta eventually failed because they were the original chad bros. They kept picking fights with the other city states who ended up cutting them off from the rest of Greece.
I know it wasn't mentioned, but here's a little commentary of my own.......The sayin "Lover not a fighter" is one of the most oxymoron sayins ever. Only those that have love completely replaced by fear don't fight. Money. Power. Justice. Revenge. Protection. Religion. Life itself. All who fight, fight for what they love. The Spartans fought to preserve their country and protect their families. Xerxes fought for power. Usually the one who loves his cause the least or has the least moral or virtuous love will lose. I quote Kevin Costner as his character portrayal of Robin Locksley (Robin Hood): "A man defending his home is more powerful than 10 hired soldiers."
Don’t confuse immortality with invulnerability Inmortal means that age cannot kill you Invulnerability means that no matter if you get stabbed you won’t die
the funny thing i find about this movie is its about a scotsman in ancient sparta (leo) i dont even think scotland was founded yet back during the times of sparta
I hate this movie. The true story of the '300 spartans" is far more interesting, and far more moving, than this rubbish movie. Herodotus, the first western historian tells the story of the defence of the pass at Thermopylae and recorded that the cenotaph that marked the event, nearly two and a half thousand years ago, bore the inscription: Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by That here, obedient to their laws, we lie. To take an event which literally shaped the birth of Europe (along with the earlier battle of Marathon) and european civilisation, and turn it into this awful sh.te is travesty.

"loosely based"? The only thing it has in common with the history is some of the characters. Other than that its pure fantasy.
@user-lv5bt3nt3r it's called historical fiction. It isn't fantasy...
@ its not even close to being ‘history’. That makes it fantasy. Unless you think the greek’s opponents at Thermopylae were giant monsters.

I loved Steven Pressfield's book “Gates of Fire”. It’s a fictional account of the 300 Spartans, and it's highly recommended after watching this movie.

Leonidas wasn't trying to kill xerxes. The point was to show xerxes he wasn't invincible. That he both could and one day would be killed.
Don't think the Spartans had no chest armor. This is based on a comic book that is based Loosely on the real historical event

3:49 Well, he has been too kind, other people such as Mongols or Romans, wouldn´t be so... `Civilized´.
13:41 Persians were very good archers but horrible soldiers in general terms.
24:18 she's like "keep my husbands name out your fuckin mouth" 😂too soon?
Sparta eventually failed because they were the original chad bros. They kept picking fights with the other city states who ended up cutting them off from the rest of Greece.
I know it wasn't mentioned, but here's a little commentary of my own.......The sayin "Lover not a fighter" is one of the most oxymoron sayins ever. Only those that have love completely replaced by fear don't fight. Money. Power. Justice. Revenge. Protection. Religion. Life itself. All who fight, fight for what they love. The Spartans fought to preserve their country and protect their families. Xerxes fought for power. Usually the one who loves his cause the least or has the least moral or virtuous love will lose. I quote Kevin Costner as his character portrayal of Robin Locksley (Robin Hood): "A man defending his home is more powerful than 10 hired soldiers."
Don’t confuse immortality with invulnerability
Inmortal means that age cannot kill you
Invulnerability means that no matter if you get stabbed you won’t die
Reacción a apocalíptico saludos
To fast sorry
the funny thing i find about this movie is its about a scotsman in ancient sparta (leo) i dont even think scotland was founded yet back during the times of sparta
Fun fact Scotland is Scotia named by Greeks who went there to trade copper and bronze.It means the land of darkness.😊
I hate this movie. The true story of the '300 spartans" is far more interesting, and far more moving, than this rubbish movie. Herodotus, the first western historian tells the story of the defence of the pass at Thermopylae and recorded that the cenotaph that marked the event, nearly two and a half thousand years ago, bore the inscription: Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
To take an event which literally shaped the birth of Europe (along with the earlier battle of Marathon) and european civilisation, and turn it into this awful sh.te is travesty.
you have to go see the 2nd movie
the greatest stories are the true ones. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
