When he tells the hunchback guy may you live forever, he is actually insulting him because a spartan seeks a beautiful death in battle, he is basically saying I hope you never get that honor
Wow!! That’s blown my mind..never thought about it that way
He meant it another way as well. While we only know one or two names of the Spartans, the person that betrayed them is known by name forever as a traitor
@@damonslaughter16 Like Benedict Arnold.
In real life, Spartans did wear armour. Mostly bronze breastplates which look awesome so I'm surprised they didn't include them in this. But the funniest part is that even though the Spartans died holding off the army, it was the Athenians that defeated Xerxes which is what the sequel is about.
@@justtrustash also the line "we will fight in the shade" is a historic real line.there are lines that based on real historic quotes.
Sis you can't blame your brother for his reactions. This is a male testosterone RUSH!!!!
You say that like she didn't grow up with him lol
I'm a woman. And I had testosterone overload for a month after this movie. haha. You poor men.
The whole film was a lie and the lack was not an intro at all
In fact, the reason for starting the war was something else
The director did not even want to tell a little about the real history. And the Eternal Army was so powerful that every soldier of the Eternal Army could use several types of weapons, and in ancient Iran, if a soldier surrendered in battle, no one had the right to attack the soldier and capture him, let alone sing women and children. And in ancient Iran, women were respected very much and even girls could choose the future king, and in the whole film, many things have been lied to.
@@ShadowX-he9iz You need to brush up on some history mate.
“It is an honor to die at your side.”
“It is an honor, to have lived, at yours.”
UGH gets me every time
goosebumps and tears at the same time..
Reminds me of Last Samurai; "Tell me how he died", "I will tell you how he lived".
It also gets me how Xerxes goes "I would gladly kill any of my own men for victory.'
Whereas Leonidas goes "And I would gladly die, for any of mine."
“Our arrows will blot out the sun.”
“Then we will fight in the shade.”
That is an actual exchange of words from history, not just a script, according to the oldest historical record of this battle.
So is “Come and get them.”
Molon Labe
@@brettg274 Actually Molon Lave doesnt just mean come and get them but ''if you have the courage come to get them'', ''molon'' is past participle of the verb ''molosko'' meaning going after gathering your strength, if he just wanted to say come he would use the verb ''elthon''. Its another brilliant instance of laconism, using very compact phrases to communicate a longer message. A better modern translation would be ''if you got the balls come and take them'' thats why Xerxes was outraged.
Spartans practiced what is known as Laconic speech. Essentially they practiced talking shit lol. It was a form of rejoinders in conversation to have the wittiest terse and blunt comebacks. Many of the things in the movie and in the graphic novel were lifted from historical records.
@@gh0s7sama the Spartans were masters of the withering one liner!
@@joek600 always have the "smarty pants" that know all about old tongues
That battle has been studied at war colleges for centuries all over the world. One of the most amazing last stands in history.
Imagine going back in time and witnessing this and the strategies they used, training..currently watching a documentary on it haha
@@justtrustash for another interesting take on it should check out a band called Sabaton. They sing about historical events and figures. This battle is the topic of one of them. Song title is Sparta.
@@justtrustash If you want to look at the style more, take a look at the comics that were made from it. :)
@geekgal Frank Miller, already ordered the 300 graphic novel..you recommend any?
yeah, war. What a important subject to study.
Just so you know around 90% of all the best one liners in the movie are actual quotes from Spartans recorded in history. Like when the arrows blot out the sun the Spartans answer really was "then we will fight in the shade"
In actual history, Leonidas threw the Persian messengers down a well when they asked for earth and water, and told them "get it yourself!"
Nope thats not true i am Greek and I study archeology
@@GreekgodXX what is you being Greek got to do with anything
@@Gnossiene369 He's talking about the historical account of what happened. So much of history is down to "what other guys wrote down." We can barely prove most historical figures existed if we don't use older histories. Many of the "awesome lines" from the comic book and the script are taken directly from historical accounts of the ancients. "Fight in the shade" is another example. The Spartans were famous for their sense of humor and brevity. In fact, the English word "laconic" (meaning terse speech) comes from Laconia (another ancient name for Sparta).
The Spartans didn't just have this attitude towards the Persians, either. When Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great's father, was conquering all of Greece, he sent a letter to Sparta demanding their submission and threatening that if he brought his army to Sparta he'd kill all their men and enslave all their women. The Spartans sent back a one word reply: "If."
@@RCongaming4u because this is his historyb
Sparta had two kings they did throw the PERSIANS MESSENGERS SAYING THAT BUT WE DONT KNOW IF IT WAS THE KINGS.They later send two Spartans to be killed by Xerxes to fix the injustice against the messengers Xerxes admired their curage and didnt kill them.The Atheneans as well executed the messengers of Xerxes after voting off course
- I'm gonna take my shirt off in a second.
- Don't do that. Please, don't.
Sibling dynamics in their truest form 😂😂
😂😂 love embarrassing her
@@justtrustash I can relate. I love embarassing my younger brother 😂
“Dad! I am a SPARTAN”
(Sis) “Yup, totally you.”
I wouldn’t mind if she took her shirt off tho
@@justtrustash you're a sibling. That's equally your job and your goddarn right 😂 in addition to giving hell to anyone outside the family who dares to do the same.
I’m Native American, I understand the ‘torn’ feeling when I watched old western movies with my grand dad.
Persian Messenger: “What makes this woman think she can speak among men??”
6:19 (while you were laughing; missed one of the most epic clapbacks in movie history)
Gorgo: “. . .because only Spartan women give birth to real men.”
I was hoping they put that part in.
And they do.
The real quote from Queen Gorgo that line was based on:
Athenian woman (in passing): “Your Majesty. The men of Athens treat women poorly, they abuse us and do not listen. How is it that Spartan women are treated so well?”
Queen Gorgo, of Sparta: “Spartan men know it is the women who birth the men.”
So in real life, it seems her point was “women are important and should be respected,” rather than “Spartan women are superior”.
@@kylebarbre4421 ...but give birth to a weakling or deformed baby...we feed it to the wolves. We also tell our beloved sons to come back with their shields or upon them (win or die, do.not surrender).
@@snarflcat6187 Ή ταν ή επί τας (With it or on it) doesn't mean "win or die" but don't be coward, don't drop it. Fight till death even if you lose.
A few actual, real historical lines:
- "Come and get them."
- "Today we dine in Hades." (in the movie they say hell.)
- "Then we will fight in the shade."
- "With this or on this." (in reference to their shield)
- "Spartan women give birth to men." (Note, Spartans didn't say Spartan women give birth to real men; they said Spartan women give birth to _men. Period._ )
Great stuff
with this shield or upon it was a spartan women equipping her son not the queen to her husband but it was said :)
The best Spartan quote doesn't relate to this story, but when you can scare off Alexander the Great's father and then Alexander himself with the word "if" you've won at being a badass.
Hades, is like saying the god of the underworld .. Remember the god of infernos or hell.
One of my favorite stories is of a Spartan soldier who thought he saw a ghost and said "Why do you flee from me, YOU SHALL DIE TWICE" 🤣
As a Greek i really respect Persians as a very old and influencial people
Loved your reactions!
And i think i am prepared to marry your sister to strengthen our beautifull countries's relations!💜
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😭
No cap shawty fine af😂💯
Haha
Good try! 👍🏻
@@trollingbigot4686 Iranian women are exquisite
"Who won" the Greeks won actually they won at the battle of marathon and beyond
And left a resentment that would drive a certain Macedonian prince named Jeff.😐. LoL 🙂 J/k.... *Alexander*
The battle of Marathon occurred roughly 10 years before this movie takes place, and was a victory almost exclusively to the Athenians, kind of left the Spartans a little pissed that they didn’t have the great hand in winning that first war. And while it is very true that the Greeks did also win this war I again have to credit the Athenians a little more than the Spartans and particularly the ingenuity and foresight of Themistocles (whom is the principle character in the sequel)
@@tomsamper4345 The Spartan goal when these events happened was not to win a war, but to unite the entire country and, it worked. Plus, the Persians pissed off the Spartans and back then, that was ALWAYS a bad idea. Of course the story is slightly wrong about the numbers and who was there, but in the end the numbers were close enough that it doesn't really matter.
As for the battle that happened after the battle of Thermopylae, that would be the Battle of Plataea where the Greeks kicked the ever-loving crap out of the Persians. The results of the battle of Plataea tipped the balance of the Greco-Persian war in the Greeks favor for the rest of that war which lasted another 30 years if I remember correctly.
@@Baronstone I’m well aware, James C however specifically referenced the battle of Marathon, which does not play into calling this either a victory or a defeat.
Go greeks!
"If you were 12 and watched this, then you would grow a beard" - Love this line and so true, Testosterone is flying everywhere and its is glorious. For the Spartans it was Quality over Quantity.
Honestly imagine number 3 comes out, I will react to the whole movie naked! 🤟🏾😂
He's not wrong. :D
Not sure I agree with his assessment that girls come out of this movie with lower voices, though--I think girls have quite the opposite reaction to testosterone.
He might as well be lol
I mean, ironically there weren't 300 people at this fight closer to like 10-12 thousand.
I am a greek teacher and let me tell you that: Well it didn't need much inspiration for the script, because all of the quotes were just copy-paste from Greek history! They just put them in dialogues! If you search in books of greek historians you will find them, exactly the same. And thank God they didn't change anything in the quotes or the story like they use to do in many movies from greek history, so that's a relief! 😌Btw I really appreciate your reaction! You are really awesome to react to a movie like this while being Iranian! You have my wholesome respect guys!!
And also I believe that your country has really beautiful and handsome men and women! I know an Iranian model that I chose for a romance series that I've written and is my favourite one!
As a Greek historian could you perhaps talk to the western audience explaining that we weren’t troll alien ninjas with a bald Micheal Jackson for a leader?
Gonna be honest, I loathe how biased this movie was. The bias is off the charts. It’s just so incredibly dumb. So dumb, it’s fun. They literally have us looking like Demi-humans.
The spartan guy telling the Persian: “Go tell your men you’re facing free men here, not slaves.” Is just pure irony. Not only because slavery was banned across Persia, but also because slave ownership was mandatory in Sparta, and every spartan was legally required to not only own one, but beat one. Crazy. They had slaves, we had tax paid personnel.
Y’all’s parents must be supernaturally gorgeous because you two are beautiful
😂😂 thank you mate!!
You ought to watch arn the knights templar the movie not the series you will like it
My first thought too
seriously though. 2 blessed people right there.
They're just Persian. Persians ARE supernaturally gorgeous.
Many of the quotes you love are real life ones. The Spartans were famous for their deadpan humour. One of the best was when Philip II (father of Alexander the Great) sent them a message saying "If I win this war, you will be slaves forever". The Spartan reply was "If".
In fact the term Laconic humor comes from Lakadaemon the region Sparta is in.
@@Aaron-io8vw brilliant.....any thing else you might share?
@@jamesrandal5442 The surviving Spartan played by David We ham, was shamed in real life and did not lead the Spartans at Plates, what he did do was charge the Persian line like a mad man in order to die and regain his honor.
The movie makes a big deal about the Spartans fighting for freedom yet they where notorious slavers themselves having a permanent underclass of slaves called Helots. When teenagers in the Agoge,the older boys would murder Helots as part of there training and if caught would be flogged.
@@Aaron-io8vw flogged for what reason?.....and you seem to know enough to know the scariest/strangest thing about Spartans?....which truly is so DIFFERENT we never speak about it and 300 movie spewed anti-spartan shaming??
@@jamesrandal5442 the boys in the agoge where encouraged to kill helots, steal food etc as part of their training, the Spartans wanted intelligent soldiers but ones that had no problem killing. If they where caught doing so the punishment was flogging, they show this happening to a young Leonidas in the film when he is tied to a post and beaten with a stick.
Check out the novel Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield, its a well researched historical fiction novel that follows one of the 300 Spartans and his personal slave from when he enters the Agoge to the aftermath of the battle.
I went to a high school run by the Jesuits and the curriculum would be called a classic education, besides math history and science, alot of philosophy and also Ancient Greek and Latin where the required languages to graduate
The film is very well done and is based on a comic. While some of it is fictional, to a large extent the facts are true in substance. The Greeks beat the Persians several times: in Marathon in 490 BC against the emperor Darius I of Persia. The 300 of Leonidas were annihilated on the seventh day of the Battle of Thermopylae in August 480 BC because a local shepherd, Ephialtes, revealed to the Persians the existence of the path of Anopea, which allowed the troops of Xerxes to take the rear behind of the Greek side, but the sacrifice of the shooters allowed the Greeks to have the necessary time to reorganize. The final victory over the Persians occurred in the subsequent naval battles at Salamina and Micale and in the land battle at Platea, between 480 BC and 479 BC. It can be said that the Greeks managed to beat the Persians who were in much higher numbers, both for the tactical / strategic organization, and because they were equipped with helmets, shields, leggings and other bronze tools (Hoplite warriors), while the shields of the Persians were made of intertwined branches. In 465 BC Xerxes was assassinated by Artabanus, the commander of the royal bodyguard and the most powerful official of the Persian court. The greeting of the Spartan women to their men who went to war was: "Come back with the shield or on the shield", as if to say that the Spartan warriors never gave up. Greetings from Milan, Italy
Xerxes also went on to marry the famous Biblical Queen Esther.
Not some of it. Almost half of it is fictional. Most of the history we know about Persian Empire today was written by the Greeks. This movie is based on those stories. So it's quite understandable.
Bro what are you talking about? Lol 🤣 stop lying 🤥 🤣
Along with the Leonidas and his 300, hoplites who remained with Leonidas were the Thebans, Thespians, Phocians and Spartan helots(Spartan serfs), altogether numbering around 1500-3000 men, remaining as a rear guard, while the main bulk of the combined Greek army retreated on Leonidas orders. Leonidas understood that because the Persians had breached the Greek lines by using the mountain path, the Greeks would be trapped. Another good book of fiction that covers the Battle of Thermopylae is Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.
They don't need armor because... THIS IS SPARTA!
I saw a video of a historian reacting to this movie and he basically said they would most likely have worn a bronze breast plate, especially being the King's Guard, but then he said whatever, it's Hollywood. :)
Thats not actually true , the movie is an exageration , for me it was a love / hate with this movie. I loved it for some reasons, not going into them now, but at the same time hate it for the total fantasy of the movie, because people will now believe spartans fought naked...Well nothing could be farther from the true, think of spartans like the tanks of he ancient world , in terms of armour they were actually better armoured than roman soldiers. So they were not complete idiots when it came to warfare, they knew what armour mens. Only one thing is shocking , when all the cities had walls , Sparta did not :D
@@darthsaren6519 Hey! In my imagination the Spartans fought naked. And I'm sticking with that fantasy.
@@starbrand3726 fair enough 👏🏻
This is an adaptation of a graphic novel that is accurate but not accurate they attribute all the Greeks heroics to the Spartans and they wore no armor in the novel hoplites we’re head to toe Bronze that’s why the Persians were so shocked when the Athenian army sprinted to close with them at marathon
It's exaggerated because of the narrator. Monsters, giants etc. So it's real in the sense that it depicts the exaggerations of old stories.
Besides, what better way to say that the odds were against them by saying they were fighting monsters and highly immoral people who would do anything to win?
@@majorpaiyne2124 I mean the odds were against them and they would do anything to win just like any army and military ever in history. Morals never had a place in wars unfortunately
the movie is based on comicbook which is based on history so its not realy historical movie. so it have a right to be exaggerated. Its not proper depiction of history - for me its like Avengers. :) But as its not a false depiction or forced manipulation of a historical event but only adaptation of comix so I dont think its realy offensive toward Iranians. BTW in my country we realy like and respect Iranians.
If you’ve never seen a rhino or an elephant you’d think it’s some devil thing
@@giorgosx5838 Philippines be like: i guess our revolution is smaller in the picture.
Anna is truly one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever seen! Good Lord! Apparently Persians are as beautiful as the Lore hints.
When Spartans send out their kids to level up in the wild it's cool, when I do it social services get called on my arse lol
😂😂
But your kids are not expected to pass their ritual of adulthood by killing innocent slaves in their villages huh? :)
We can't do the piccolo treatment anymore
Certain quotes said in this film are believed to be real. For example when Xerxes men asked for the Spartans to lay down their weapons Leonidas said “Molon Labe” which translates to “Come and take them”. Absolutely badass!
Yh I know, I just can’t believe how ALPHA you gotta be before you die to come up with a line like that..it’s amazing!! Thank you for watching the reaction mate ❤️
Same with the arrows blotting out the sun reply, which is my personal favorite, these dudes exuded BDE to the highest degree!
hi guys, one thing id like to add here. First i must say i love your reaction, much better than some western people. Incredible unbiased, although the movie is biased of course dooh :) You must think about something : people remain famous in history, but in general they are kings, generals etc....not a simple soldier, but this spartan soldier / hero - Stelios remained in history with this quote for over 2000 years. I doubt you can achieve this kind of immortality these days...Thats really impressive. Oh and one more thing, if im not mistaken ...part of his quote is actually the motto of one of the elite greek tank unit today :D
Along with being great warriors Spartans were also very well known in ancient greece for making excellent scathing remarks with few words. Its where the term Laconic comes from.
@Bruhbou Bruhbrioo the spartans are thought to have had around 7,000 troops when combined with the neighboring Greek states where the persians had a MINIMUM of 70,000 up to 300,000 by realistic estimates.
Another big scene, when Stelios kills the man after using Leonidas' back as a boost.
At Xerxes' first appearance, his men formed the remainder of the ladder and he stepped on his back.
By doing this for Stelios, Leonidas showed Xerxes that he saw himself as equal to the Spartans and not superior by having the title of King.
King Leonidas went to battle with only 300 men because the council refused to declare war against the Persians. But Leonidas knew that if the king of Sparta were to be killed, all of Sparta had to go to war by law, no approval needed. That was Leonidas' plan.
true warrior
And it was safe to do so because Sparta operated with 2 Kings so rhat of one fell in battle they would still have leadership.
The man that was co-ruler at the same time as King Leonidas was a bad hombre names King Leotychidas
He also wanted to fulfill the prophecy,if a Spartan King will be killed in battle,then his land will be saved
Also, if we take history into account here, Leonidas was in his 60s coming to that battle.
What a badass.
Fun fact: the exchange of “our arrows will blot out the sun.”
“Then we shall fight in the shade.”
Actually happened. Spartans were known for speaking “laconically” (Laconic is another term for Spartan) which means like an action hero badass.
The region of Laconia is where the city of Sparta was and the whole reason it was referred to Laconic Phrase was that it was speech in common usage in Laconia.
Ash literally lost his f**kin mind while watching this movie. You were hysterical to watch!
Wait till I show this movie again to my girlfriend 👀
I keep telling U, watch/review The Boondock Saints.
You need to have your sister react to more films with you. The sibling dynamic is hilarious.
Haha will do mate, she’s busy but once she’s down We’ll react to a few more movies! Thank you for your kind words mate 🤟🏾
I have 3 sisters and no brothers. I'm missing out. Watching this movie with your boyfriend is just not the same. Watching with your sisters is nearly impossible. We giggle through the entire thing
@@smokeyverton7981 😂 I reckon watching with your partner is impossible haha
@@smokeyverton7981 but also please do reaction videos with your sisters..I would be the first viewer haha
@@justtrustash Her voice was pretty low, your voice pretty low on standard, had to push it up from ny normal 25% to 65%, just a thing to keep in mind, loved the siblings reaction!
All the Badass lines were actual quotes from the Spartans.
They are quotes that have been used out of context.
@@CrankCase08 read history and you will find the lines themselves.
@@CrankCase08 Not really, as they pretty much fit the case that they were used in. Plus, some of the lines were just general Spartan sayings, though they are still quite badass.
If
"Quotes" that were written by Herodotus, but he lived shortly after the events of 300 so he had a lot of first hand accounts to build his dramas
I saw this in theaters by myself when I was 15 and I swear I could feel the music in my spine
The Greeks won cause the 300 Spartans held back the Persians long enough so that the rest of the Greeks could mobilise, so u got absolutely destroyed in the end 😎🤯
Sort of, they mobilized because the spartan king died. It pulled the greek states together, and especially committed the Spartans. The one thing this movie leaves out is the far more than 300 strong greek fleet that helped hold the Persians off.
The Persians did succeed in attacking and partially destroying Athens including the desecration of the temples. The Persians were eventually repulsed at the battle of Platea. The Persian navy was basically destroyed in the battle of Salamis and this loss also contributed to the Persians being forced to retreat back to Persia. Alexander the Great avenged this attack 150 years later. The two hosts of this video will tell you Alexander or Iskanda (The two horned one or the devil as Persians refer to him) is reviled in Iran.
if I may borrow a line from Moff Gideon:
"You had your hands full with 300.... let's see how you fare against an entire *ARMY* of them!"
Themistocles had a lot to do with that
They mobilised after the end of the religious festival that the rest of Sparta refused to send troops until it was over.
Nasser watched this recently and made the comment "I don't think the Persians dressed like that." I'll respond similarly ('cause I don't think I can remember exactly what I said) - The Persians did not dress like that and the Spartans didn't go naked into battle - they did wear armor. This is a film recreation of the comic book/graphic novel and Frank Miller was definitely using artistic license.
This is next level Herodotus, that's all there is to it. The artistic liberties were even properly motivated because it is Delios who tells the story and obviously literally demonizes the Persians, making it much more epic and exaggerates. Some storytellers from Antiquity came up with weird stuff as well.
@Bruhbou Bruhbrioo it was 6,000-7,000 Greeks
Of that number 300 were Spartans
In the case of armor, the Greeks absolutely had the better armor of the two and it showed and the Persians were still using whicker shields while the Greeks were using bronze shields. The Persians were using cloth and leather armor while the Greeks were using bronze armor.
@@andyvanderheyden3190 About 1000 of the Spartans were archers, 300+1 hoplites, and the rest were a hodge-podge of support elements. Cooks, armorers, weaponsmiths, prostitutes, and the personal servants for the 300 who could afford them..
Also consider that the movie is actually the character Dilios telling the events of the battle as a campfire story. So it makes sense all the bad guys are horribly monstrous looking, as he's exaggerating all the flaws of the people he doesn't like, lol
your little sis being so calm and serene while her brother is hopping around like a soccer fan.
Leonidas: “SPARTANS!!!!! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?!”
the 300: “HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!”
10:46 (while you were talking; missed another of the great lines in the movie)
Leonidas, to Daxos: “You see, old friend? I brought more soldiers than you did.”
Fun Fact:
Leonidas was around 50 - 60 years old build like a castle at the time of this battle.
Not one Spartan died at the first day of battle.
It wasn't unusual for Spartans to embarrasse they're enemies with one-liners.
spartans were called laconians back in that time. retorting with one liners is called "laconic speech". laconians were reknowned for terse responses. often 1 or 2 words in biting retort.
it was also 40 Celsius degrees
You a time traveler?

@@TheWolfalpino Have you ever been to 480 BC?
This dudes reaction is the most real I've ever seen, lol. I remember seeing this in theaters and every dude in there left fucking jacked up on testosterone. Such a hype movie.
You are not kidding. My husband and my dad got along best ever that night & weekend. Pretty sure I got pregnant that night.
Zack snapped so hard with this movie lol. Inspired an entire generation to get shredded asf. Favorite director hands down.
Not the most historically accurate movie I've seen but as a movie based from a graphic novel, it is one of the most badass movies I've seen and love!!!
It's supposed to be exagerated for a reason, the movie is narrated on by Dilios (David Wenham), he embellished his witnessed accounts so he could inspire the Spartans and Greeks to fight harderin the final showdown with Persia's army.
@@CM_87 yeah, if you take out the exaggeration like the rhinos and giant beasts it funnily enough is historically accurate down to a tee.
Some of the movie had some historical fact loosely based
Every reactor I've seen thought Leonidas missed his mark when his spear only grazed Xerxes. I'm happy to see that you knew he was only trying to make him bleed.
"With it or on it." A saying common amongst spartan mothers as they sent their sons off to war. The idea was that you either came home carrying your shield in victory or being carried on it by your comrades. Also there were only two ways to earn a headstone after death in Sparta, all other graves were unmarked. One way was to die in battle, the other was to die during childbirth. The ancient spartans attributed dying for your country and dying to bring new life into the world as equally important it would seem.
Bring your sister again bruh ! She’s so beautiful ! 😍
Her reaction to the Ephor's licking scene was priceless.
The guy is the perfect example of everyone in the theater when this came out….testosterone booster 😂
Hahaha probably be banned from every cinema 😂 thank you for watching you legend
Spartan wished for an honorable death, a glorious death. That was the pinnacle of respect for them. Also, those Spartans that died in battle were always carried back home. The ones carrying the bodies would often use the shields of the fallen as a stretcher upon which to carry the bodies. So when Leonidas told the hunchback the he wished he live forever, it's because he could never have a glorious death that way and when Leonidas's wife told him to come back with his shield or on it ........now you know what she meant.
If you came back without your shield it was assumed you dropped it to be lighter to run away. That is what the first part of the quote means. Basically it means come back victoriously or come back dead.
Yeah and when he told the hunchback that he hoped he lives forever it’s so that he could always feel that regret
"Efilaltis, may you live for ever "-- that is said here because "Efialtis" in Greek means Nightmare. So this man's name lived for 2,500 in a bad way. He lives for ever.
Hi guys im Greek and i have to say i loved the way you took this story as an inspiration and not as a competition. Our ethnic background history in a nutshell is a brief war in the persian wars and a long 2000 plus years of friendship.So by my standards,i have only love,friendship and respect for the Iranian people.And also i must say(cause im from the island of Cyprus) you two look a lot like us,check you DNA,we might even be partly brothers! GOOD JOB GUYS!
Hahaha I’m 15% Greek 😂 so one of the Spartans might have betrayed you haha joking..appreciate you mate thank you for watching and the kind words ❤️
This movie is not about the greeks realky. Iranians have nothing against greek and i don't think you would have anything about us. It's about hollywood and it's racist shameful ways.this movie is bullshit, completely racist and a sin too watch really.

Fact: The 300 fought 100,000 Persians for 3 days. 299 died and 1 survivor was sent back to tell what happened.
To finally win, the Persians had to sail troops around and attack them from behind

Persia did a lot of damage to Greece, but in the end, the invasion failed. A lot of that is because the Greece had better trained warriors, and they knew where to stand and fight where the terrain favored them. The persian defeat was a major upset, considering persia was a very, very powerful empire at the time.
But it isn't like the achaemenids lost any sleep over it. Athens helped the Greek cities in Anatolia to rebel, the Persians burned Athens' acropolis. I'd say they accomplished their war goals of making the Greeks pay.
@@RESTITVTOR_TOTIVS_HISPANIAE
Except this was the beginning of the end for the empire and their goal was to conqure greece
@@RESTITVTOR_TOTIVS_HISPANIAE No, in the end the Persians wanted to rule, not just do damage, and they ended up (after spending much of the Empires $ and military infrastructure) having to retreat back to Persia with their tail between their legs. You're right they had some 'good' times and won a few battles, but in terms of the War, well, they lost it.
Persia would won 20 times for every defeat. This war was never ever worthy enough of a mention in persian acounts. Also persia did much more good than damaging to the greek, and the west of course. Never forget that what you call a western civilization actually has it's root in the east. If anyone has done any damage it was your westerm kind who did alot of damage to this world. And as ironic it is the greek whom you call the source of western culture are actually the most easterners in the west, from geography to culture to apearance.

3 words that define a MAN!!! DUTY, HONOUR & COURAGE!!! 1 word that defines 'just an adult male'; "cowardice." A MAN is proud of his race, Greek, Persian, Russian, Somali; I am a SCOT. Real MEN are what are rare in today's world; what our WOMEN want & Need. When a MAN Loves his Woman it is spelled LOVE. When a Woman loves her MAN it is spelled RESPECT. This film is about just this. Mr JTA you and sister did a great job! Saw your review on BRAVEHEART and another great job. Recommend: ROBERT THE BRUCE (2018), another epic film. Keep up the great work.
Actually I always thought it made Persians look like a massive power of the ancient world that rarely gets mentioned.
Yh we all know that I guess people just love a underdog story
@@justtrustash I wouldn't say Greeks were underdogs. Not long after this, they whent on to conquer everything, including much of Persia.
@@alondor8157 Then the Greeks was defeated by the Parthians (an Iranian tribe as well) in less than a century, annexed by the Romans who contested the world with the Parthians and Sassanid Persians for the next millennia. Then annexed again by the Ottoman empire who also contested the region with Safavid Persia. Eventually Persians/Iranians got the last laugh.
@@alondor8157 bro the Greeks were outnumbered 20-1 at lower estimates throughout the hellenistic wars. the Greeks were definitely underdogs
Who doesn't know the Persians were the biggest Empire at the time? I thought it was common knowledge.
The reason the Greeks were so effective at the hot gates was the superior nature the Phalanx offered, particularly against inferior weaponry. The Phalanx was an incredibly smart formation given the Greeks shield technology and longer reaching spears. It remained the dominant way of fighting in Greece until the Romans rendered it obsolete

The movie Troy and Gladiator would be great too react to two.
I’ve seen gladiator, my top 3 faiv movies but my sisters hasn’t and also Troy so will react to it
Troy is a great movie! React to OCTOBER SKY as well if you can.
Troy is garbage, in my opinion.
It couldn't be more different than Homer's Iliad (the original source material).
To give you a good example: Try imagine a version of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" without the Elves, Dwarfs, Hobbits, Orcs, Wizards, Goblins etc... With only a pseudorealistic representation where Humans fighting other Humans and having a corny "anti-war" message in the end.
However, if you liked the movie (which is fine); then you definitely should read the book.
@@Serros13 Well that would be good if i could read well but i don't so movie it is.
@@Serros13 I enjoy troy. I have read the book and it doesn't take away from my experience with the movie. What movie would you recommend I watch if I want a good one?
greetings from Greece! First of all, lets put some things historically clear. 1- Leonidas was over 60 yo in the battle. 2- he died early in the battle and spartans were fighting around his body. 3- of course spartans had armor not naked six packs, 4- persian army (the whole campaign) were near 500.000. The 300 spartans and 700 thespians fought against tens of thousands 5- most of the quotes like the arrows and sun stuff are real, 6- spartans fought even more smart than the movie shows and persians felt uncomfortable seeing spartans coming down hills without braking their formation or running (fake retreat) and stoping, form a phalanx in seconds and attack. 7- who won? well, Greeks. The mission of 300 was a suicide battle. To hold the hotgates, as long as they can and sacrifice to make Greeks unite. That happened, Salamis navy battle followed, and then Plateas and Mychale and Greeks won for good.
300 is by far my favourite movie ever since release
It’s Zack Snyder best movie for sure!!
Here we see the difference between a male and female perspective. Men: I'll follow that Greek guy with a Scottish accent in battle! Women: For god's sake, put on some armor before you go to war.
😂😂😂 so true, she’s the sensible one
Dude, I’m Greek and I just saw your reaction on the film. It’s crazy to watch an Iranian so impressed by the Spartans that he could not choose a side in the film! Wow, you lived that to the edge! This was pure entertainment for you!
The reason that I’m writing this comment is because you asked several times “Who wrote the script”.
Weel, believe it or not, most of the lines, were not just written. They happen!
The Spartans were famous for their brief, terse speech, which is where we get the English word "laconic" from (which means terse or concise speech), Laconia being the ancient name for the home country of the Spartans. The whole "We shall darken the sun with our arrows", "Then we shall fight in the shade" and "Put down your weapons", "Come and take them", was historically true according to Herodotus who wrote the history of the war.
Since I was not there LOL I cannot know the amount of exaggeration that Herodotus added to his scripts, but whatever he wrote, I saw it on the film. So basically, he wrote the script, for both the comic and the film :P
I assume that you know that King Leonidas and his 300 story is a historical fact and not a fiction. The movie was based on a comic, but even in the comic, the creator emphasized on the historical facts. I don’t know why since it is a comic, and he could add his own staff. He did that as a tribute to what happened back then? He was so inspired that he didn’t want to change the historical facts. I don’t know.
I remember, when I first saw the film, I was prepared to watch a … Hollywood scale distortion of the story as I knew it. But to my supervise, this film was so accurate, that even small details were put in place!
Anyway. You should know that as Greeks we respect and ancient civilization like the Persians!
I wish you the best and happy new year man :)
PS) I also feel very sorry about what is happening back to your home … I hope soon things to ger better for all people there!
All brave men, who die for their people, should be honored. Also see The Last Samurai and the movie Zulu--all wonderful stories and all based on true stories. By the way, all those witty jewels spoken--like fighting in the shade, were actually said. Especially, Come and take them! Talking about their weapons. MOLON LABE = In Greek means COME AND TAKE THEM!
I’m gonna start talking like that from now on 😂 thank you for watching you legend!
Some fun facts: the best lines in the movie were actually uttered by Spartans, historically (e.g. "We will fight in the shade" and "Come and get them [our weapons]," which were actually spoken during the Battle of Thermopylae. Also, Spartan swords were so short - around 46 cm. long - that the Spartans really needed to get up close and personal with their enemies; and when they did so, they aimed at their enemies' private parts, which would definitely put the fear of Sparta into said enemies.
I also wished they showed more pankraton in the movie. This was the Greek fighting system that the Spartans were so good at that they were always given a bye during the classical-age Olympics during the Pankraton event.
Even Persians want to be Spartans. THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!
FYI when you said “how good is this script” you were reacting to a quote from the recorded history of Sparta
It’s actually crazy that they spoke like that
@@justtrustash Sparta is famous for creating the "Laconic Phrase". One of my favorite Spartan moments was when Philip II was conquering Greece left and right and he wrote to the Spartan king "If we invade Lakonia, you will be destroyed." The Spartan king wrote back "If"....Philip left Lakonia alone lmao
@@bwestacado9643 but that 'if" word were eaten by Spartans themselves when they faced alexanders army. too bad.
He makes that comment about it coming straight from a comic book, and I was like, "Uh....that's because it was?"
We love the history & progress of Persian empire as it was based on simple philosophy - Humata, Hukhta & Hvarshta. Persian kings respected the human rights & banned slavery. It was the one of the few exceptional estern empire managed to defeat western powers before the rise of Japanese empire.

Most Iconic quotes were actually based on history.
Like
-Spartans lay down your weapon
- Come and get them (Μολών λαβέ).
or
- Come back with your shield, or on it. (Η ταν ή επί τας)
It is a beautiful movie.
17:25 - That’s legit. Back in 2006, this movie came out when I was in 6th grade (12 yrs old). For weeks a few boys in my class were unable to shut up about “300”. By the end of the year they indeed grew beards. 😭
Number 3 I will honestly be naked with a full grown chest hair 😂
I got pregnant the night my hubs and I saw this.
So many hilarious and fantastic reactions from both of you, haha! Loved it!
It's really cool too see you two watching and appreciating the movie for what it is: an exaggerated tale, told through these stylized Spartans point of view about their battle against stylized Persians, a story of few vs many, besides that it is a very creative and cool-looking movie! And not the whole thing about trying to be "disrespectful". Instead by the end of the film this is what I have seen from most people that watch it: just wanna hit the gym and be a badass that fights with honour.
Honestly mate it’s a comic book movie that is trying to entertain you at the end of the day and it did just that, thank you so much for your kind words you legend 👌🏾
Little-known fact-The Spartans were trained in dance at the Agogie as children. That is why they looked so nimble in battle. It was a total training. Spartan women were also trained for battle, and competed in the games vs. other women. The most fit women married the best warriors to have the BEST children. It was common for the women to train in the nude. AMAZING society, where the ONLY constant was to prepare for war. They're biggest threat came from the people they conquered to establish Sparta, who sabotaged the Spartans at every turn. The rest of Greece lived in fear of the Spartans. If a warrior returned with a wound in his back, he was killed because that means he turned his back to the enemy.
Hollywood: 300 Spartans fought heroically against hundreds of thousands of Persians.
The real story, what scientists have researched so far: Around 300 Spartans together with around 7,000 Greeks fought against 30,000 to a maximum of 50,000 Persians
Xerxe's army counted over 100-1500 thousands possibly excluding the camp followers.
As someone who has a history degree allow me to correct that. There were thousands of Greeks from various city states. At some point King Leonidas of Sparta realized they were going to be over run. He sent everyone except 300 Spartans and 700 Thesbians (warriors from Thespiae had a tendency to volunteer for suicide missions) to act as a delaying force knowing they were going to die. They picked a spot that was appprox. 300 feet wide with cliff on either side. They were able to hold for a few days before being betrayed and the Persians were able to get behind them and hit them from both directions. As for the number of Persians that number is anywhere from Herodotus saying over a million to Ctesias who put it at 800,000 to most current estimates that put it around 200,000. The lowest estimate I have heard of was a British General during WW2 who estimated it at 70,000 the problem with his estimate was that he was making it based on his soldiers, English men from the 1940s. Warriors born and raised around 500B.C. from Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Armenia wouldn't require the same level of provisions so his number is likely far to low.
@@thomasolson1154 According to Herodotus, the only known source from the 5th century BC. The troop strength of the Persians was 5 million BC. including support troops. Due to the military system and the logistical abilities of the Persians at that time, many well-known historians assume a maximum of 50,000 for this reason. It is known that ancient historians tended to give very exaggerated figures. This also applies to the Greek side, Herodotus contradicts himself several times in his story about the number of which. The Peleponesian figures from Diodorus and Marcus Junianus Iustinus are also very doubtful. 7000 is the assumed maximum number, probably only 4,000. 300 is a good film, but especially the representation of the Spartian ones Society, especially the upbringing of children, especially that of boys, is a lying fantasy story that does not even come close to the truth
Doesn't beat Simo Häyha tho.
Him and 31 other solders held against 4000 Russian soldiers for an entire winter.
Outnumbered over 100 to 1...
And the won.
Simos kill count alone was around 850 enemy soldiers (500-550 snipes and another 300-350 with granades and machine gun)
The guy took out almost a full regiment on his own.
@@F1rstWorldNomaD Yeah mate no need to compare where they were 2 completely different scenarios, im sure getting charged at by a bunch of swords spears, and arrows will be a much more painful death than getting a bullet to the head.
Regardless of your background it’s hard not to appreciate the Spartans confidence and skill. That’s what I like about this movie. Leonidas loves his country so much and was willing to die for his people.
Preach!!
Based on history, he never marched aiming to win that battle.. They knew they would die. Plan was to win time in order to gather troops from as many city-states as they could for the second battle it showed at the end of the movie, which they were victorious only because of the 300 delaying Persians advancing for some days
I was expecting you to like be all 'Persian' about this movie. But I was wonderfully surprised. Loved your reactions. Was it good, was it entertaining, how was the music and the dialogue - that's what you focused on and it was fantastic. And yes you are right, every frame was like a work of art.

Sister hands down
Thanks for having an open mind. The movie is awesome. FYI a lot of the lines you love like "Come and get them" and "We will fight in the shade" were from the Greek historian Herodotus from around 450 BC or so. So those were real quotes.
Though exaggerated, this was a real event. The Persians had to go through Sparta to get to Athens, which was their only target. The Persians had no beef with Sparta. And Sparta and Athens didn't even like each other. But Leonidas put together 300 men "with children living" to block up the hot gates (Thermopylae) for a few days to let Athens prepare for war. They all knew they were going there to die and did it anyway. That's the historical lesson to all future generations: this is what you do when another nation is threatening you, you fight, even if you may die.
You just gotta respect the self sacrifice and people need to stop getting mad and disrespected by this movie as most of it is exaggerated for our entertainment! Have you checked out Dan Carlin’s podcast on the battle, it’s amazing!! Thank you for kind words mate!!
Yeah but the whole threat to Athens was because the Ionian Greeks in Anatolia unprovokedly killed their innocent Iranian & non Iranian neighbors & burned a temple of mithra in a land (Persian empire) where there was freedom of religion & freedom speech & racism or race favoritism was punished & slavery was abolished ! ( *dude the more I talk about the Achaemenid empire the greater it's gonna be* )
& when Persia got angry for such a vile act they sent in soldiers & punished the ionians ! *some ionians escaped & even though it was a direct order for everyone to not meddle in this, the Athenians gave shelter to the escaping Ionians & protected them* !!!
Ofcourse Persia would have gone mad because of it ! *& the Spartans were just on the way (they could just peacefully not meddle in anything but they did* )
Also Imagine a world when the world power is shifted to China in the east & they make a movie to demonize us Americans as orcs while showing the vietnamese as demigods who will win over the "wild west" !!! It's just sooo ironically ridiculous*
@@justtrustash Well I was offended in your place so I apologize on behalf of my country for producing these racist rubbish that was 20% accurate in history !
You Iranians are obviously very open minded ! Perhaps that's why you created the 1st world wide superpower & actually managed to get all the different races to like you :)
Even in history we read that the Achaemenid empire of Iran (starting with Cyrus the great) *gave freedom of religion, freedom of speech, outlawed prejudice & abolished slavery* !!! (I've also read in some historical records that lying was a crime punishable by death during the Achaemenid empire !!! I'm not sure how much of it is true)
Respect brother !
Lol that “but who won though? ‘Sheeeeesh!’” Was fucking hilarious
Leonidas was actually 60 in this battle.... just crazy how a 60 year old can move like that if it's true 💪🏻💪🏻
the Xerxes depicted in this is the same King Xerxes in the Old Testament, in the Book of Esther. as for the war with the Spartans, there is a paragraph saying that he had "trouble" with the Greeks.
"This looks like a comic book!" Yes, that is Zack Snyder in a nutshell. I love the guy.

Dude I'm loving your channel and content! I know this is an older vid but just truly entertaining stuff broseph.
"Why is there a hole there?"
The Persian envoy asked for earth and water (the internationally acknowledged diplomatic token of submission at the time), so the Spartans threw him into a well, saying "you will find plenty of both down there". Besides being funny, it was also the kind of badass quote that built up the Spartan reputation, so they basically made it into an artform, known to this day as "Laconic humor". Another example also portrayed in 300 is: "Good. Then we can fight in the shade". Macho crap, but hillariously badass all the same. :)
Actually, it's not a well. It's worse than a well. It's a cistern, basically a sewer pit. Greeks had plumbing systems even back in those days, although primitive. They basically kicked the messenger and his men into a literal shit pit!
Yep, that much enthusiasm is to be expected XD
Fun Fact:
When the reinforcements arrived, they literally fought over Leonidas' body for 3 days straight.
This video was in my recommended today, but I seen it back when it was first posted. It was the first video I ever watched of Ash. It helped me remember how long I’ve been watched your channel.

There is something really special about this movie. It manages to find every bit of testosterone inside the male body and turns it on to max setting.
To a point where you wanna never wear clothes and reply with one word answers 😂
This movie was based on Frank Miller’s comic book “300”, which in turn was inspired by the 1962 film “The 300 Spartans”. A lot of the depictions of the battle of Thermopylae in popular culture are drawn from the Iliad, an epic poem by the Ancient Greek writer Homer (not Homer Simpson 😜).
'The Illiad' narrates the final weeks of the Trojan War, which was fought between the Achaeans or Greeks (including Spartans, yes) and the Trojans. It is NOT about the Battle of Thermopylae, which was fought around 700 hundred years after the Trojan War was thought to have taken place. The main ancient source chronicling the Battle of Thermopylae remains being Book VII from Herodotus' 'Histories'.
That is incorrect. Your mixing different historians and different battles. Herodotus and Simonides are the Greek historians that give details of the battle at Thermopylae.
"How do you kill a Rhino?"
"Slo-mo spear, of course with a slo-mo spear lets go lets go!"
The Spartans lost the battle at Thermopylae but The Greeks Unite and beat the Persians less than a year later. And then Alexander the Great Rises & conquerors all of Persia.
The movie, "300" is an awesome fantastical interpretation of such historical events. With awesome frame, after awesome frame, after awesome frame. It's truly a visual cornucopia of violence and brutality portrayed as moving art. Zach Snyder is an absolute boss.
