You can feel that hit too. Props to the extra who ate that hit too. Which I'm sure was done safely, but really showed the "stopped in his tracks" moment.
What's also really cool about this is that while the Persian had numbers, the Spartans used tactics and formation to their advantage. The narrow corridor meant that the Spartans won't be flanked and I really loved how the 2nd row moved infront of the 1st row covering them after they stabbed their enemy, it wasn't until the enemy number thinned that the Spartns broke formation but still reminded in range of each other.
They simply have the benefit of defending a narrow position. Indeed, if taken from behind, there is no winning tactic. And yes, even children and animals know that if you have three sides covered, you're ahead of the game.
@@markallison6666 agreed. That's what I really hated about this movie. If they broke formation, they would have been overwhelmed.

This portrays it that way to begin with, but then it diverges into fantasy one on one combat where the Spartans win every single engagement. It's a disservice to the real story, the makers of this movie should be ashamed. It looks great, but those heroes' story isn't told.

When this came out in theaters I was living with my gf in college. On our date night we ate at a Chinese restaurant she liked. And I took her to see a movie. I don’t remember the other choices. I ask her what she like to see. She said this movie. I hadn’t heard much about it. Said you sure doesn’t look to good. She said absolutely this movie. I said okay sure. Man I still remember sitting in this theater watching this with her. This scene. I was blown away. Told her this is awesome. Great choice. She smiled and said I knew you like it.
Are you referencing ancient Spartans as being an authority on morals and ethics re gender - considering the history of the Spartans training methods to include having the new boy recruits set up with an older soldier as his bum boy for life?
When Winston Churchill was asked "how many genders" he firmly showed his TWO fingers. This gesture is often misinterpreted as sign for V - victory. But we know the truth

Imagine being able to blindly use your abilities to kill your enemies trusting that you’re compatriots have the same abilities to cover your back!! I’m sorry there’s not an emoji for that!!
In case you wonder what the last line Spartan warriors are doing well here's the answer: the last line of the hoplite wall is supposed to stab and kill the enemies who have fallen during the battle and are not yet dead. So they won't get up and attack the hoplite wall formation from behind.
Believe it or not this is more accurate than you might think. The greeks were obsessed with fitness and the warrior class of citizen soldiers trained relentlessly. An analysis of their diet and the extensive network of gymnasiums found suggests that a high muscle low fat build similar to an mma middle to heavy weight fighter would be the typical greek hoplite. Not every soldier though, the auxiliary troops were not citizens and performed lesser duties, but the heavy frontline infantry could very well have looked this built. As for the costumes thats actually very modest as there are records of battles taking place at the height of the Mediterranean summer where you had to go skins to avoid heat stroke. Fighting for hours in armor is bad enough, hence why the shield was so large.
I understand that but also considering the sheer numbers of the Persians at that point compared to the 300 Spartans and the 6700 other Greek allies who made their stand, not wearing armor would be an awful choice in this scenario. Plus, come on, the armor looks *way* cooler than them being nearly butt naked if we're going by the rule of cool.
@praetorian9823 I dunno bro, Lotta pottery had neked buff greek hoplites, an that's one of our main sources of evidence! I understand your point though, the armor sick AF! And the front line probably wore it. The reservist in the back though...
@ryanhendrickson6012 good point. To be fair, though, a ton of stuff gets overexaggerated both ways. Even with regards to the Spartans, as far as I recall, after Rome conquered them, their training regiments got way more brutal than they originally were as an independent nation to try and sell how tough they were. Don't get me wrong, Spartan training was obviously still insane, but they added a lot more brutality to try and make it seem like it was nearly impossible to beat a Spartan.
The true story of what happened there is as equally fascinating as the movie. only mad men would dare to challenge the persian king, men with balls of steel
I know this movie is heavily exaggerated, but it’s crazy to think that the battle really happened and that only a few hundred Spartans killed up to thousands of Persians
300 is an American fantasy epic historical drama film directed by Zack Snyder and released in 2006. This movie is based on a comic series of the same name. This comic series was created in 1998 by Frank Miller, who was mentally ill, and Lynn Worley, who was mentally ill. This film narrates a fictional account of the Battle of Thermopylae, which took place between the great and powerful Achaemenid army and Greek cities. According to historical sources, these three hundred people could only resist for 2 days and during this attack, Athens fell and became a colony of Iran. Those of you who came and leave likes and comments here, take a look at the great history of Iran. It is true that everyone cares about their country, but history says something else. (Long live Iran, long live Iranians and the Aryan generation)
The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the most important battles in Greek and world history. Above all, from a moral point of view, it is a brilliant example of self-denial, self-sacrifice and obedience to the country. The battle demonstrated the advantages of the Spartans' military training, better equipment, and clever use of terrain. Conveniently you forgot to mention that after the two days, Efilatis the traitor, lead the Persian army to the back of the Greek forces and that's how they lost. Athens never become a colony of Iran because a) Iran didn't exist back then b) the Persian army found the city empty and they burned it to the ground out of spite. There was nothing to colonise. No people, no buildings. Later on, the Athenians came back and rebuilt the city after they won the battle of Salamina, where Persians suffered a significant loss. After the battle of Plateon, and the battle of Mekales the Persians were severely defeated by the Greeks and returned back to their caves. In general, according to history and not fantasy, Persians failed tragically in their attempt to conquer Greece. Greeks freed all the Greek cities in the Asia Minor coast. Xerxes, was a lunatic. His engineers built bridges to pass the Hellespont but they were destroyed by a sea storm. Xerxes had his engineers beheaded and ordered his army to whip the sea and commanded to shackle it because it didn't obey to his orders, by throwing chains in it. He led his empire to extinction out of spite, beheading everyone near him after his massive failure to conquer Greece. He even beheaded close relatives. He lost his mind completely and finally he perished by the hands of his own people who had enough of his madness and failure. Later on, Alexander the Great, colonised Persia and had his soldiers marrying Persian women, but not the other way around. There is a tribe, Kalash, that they believe they are descendants of Alexander the Great. His expedition brought the rightful end of the Persian empire. That's history. Not fantasy. Persians tried to bring darkness to the world, but thanks to the Greeks they failed miserably.
Coming from a Persian....you mad? The Greek with a way smaller army smashed your invasion and defeated you. Then Alexander will conquer you. So, long live the Greek.
First battle in a world 🌍 history 300 against a lots arround 150 000 just before Greece 🇬🇷 army go United wonderful battle even now …heroism …Termopile…no 1 in a history
