20:37 - Hella: "Is this movie about showing men's bodies? Because I've seen a lot." So cute.
Wel lucky for her when they adapted Frank Miller's graphic novel they added loincloths cause if it was 100% as the novel she would see more 😂
They are charming girls.
I'm unfortunately ensorcled...
the aesthetics are wonderful, some images remind me the paintings of Delacroix or Gericault.
Hella's body count has risen significantly due to watching this movie...
The reason Leonidas doesn't use him as a soldier is because the phalanx relies on holding the shield wall. If a soldier cannot hold the shield high enough or for long enough. It is a weakness in the wall. It puts the entire formation and the lives of everyone else at risk.
Leonidas was being incredibly generous in allowing him to help. Leonidas could see he really wanted to fight, to help his fellow spartans, but could also see he would not be able to fight due to his deformations. Instead Leonidas decided that he could help in other ways, that were just as equally as important as fighting.
All in all, Leonidas was being quite fair.
Ok then use him as a fighter when they break the phalanx formation and go to kill enemies individually. This was a very simple solution that Leonora’s missed
Tom Cruise mentions this battle during the last battle in The Last Samurai. 300 Greeks against 1,000,000 Persians. When Katsumoto asks "what happened to the warriors at Thermopylae?" Tom Cruise responds "Dead to the last man." Both smile. :D
Yes if they have watched The Last Samurai recently , they will remember it , i hope so.
It was more like 7.000 Greeks (including the 300 Spartans) vs about 150.000-200.000 Persians ! But yeah... that's still overwhelming odds and a heroic stand!

One of my favorite lines: “May you live forever.”
The greatest of insults for a Spartan. May you not fall gloriously in battle. May no one tell your stories. May you not have your beautiful death.
Ephilates face after that insult says it all. "Gods, what have i done? I brought my brothers to death. I will live forever with my shame as a traitor."
Guilt like that would drive someone to suicide, which I think if the story was stretched any further, would be a fitting, if cowardly end to Ephialtes existence.
Cool. Going to get myself cursed by a Spartan then. Living forever sounds great.
@@user-tt4jz3tm6tUm not really. Better to die on your feet than live as a coward on your knees.

Love your reaction compilations 👍👍
@@pat7564 thank you 😎
What does that equal? I don't know. No one does.
Just to give a small clarification about the "Come back with your shield or upon it" (roughly 10:40) It literally means: "come victorious or be brought dead". It was the worst dishonor for a spartan to run from a fight and it was common for such men to be treated badly with other Spartans some times going as far as stoning them to death.
Dilios, the narrator, was treated thus for leaving the battle to tell Sparta what happened, even though it was at the command of his King, he was still seen as a coward.
@@lordmortarius538 Exactly, it is recorder that he was ostrasized by the Spartans and lived in shame. However, he fought bravely and died in the battle of Plataies which earned him redemption
The point is: if you kept your shield you was fighting or retreating in good order, not running, because to run you need to drop the shield.
My mother in tears said something similar when I joined the Military.
Come back holding your weapon or comeback with it on you. I will not have a coward as a son.

5:50 “THIS IS SPARTA!!!” This quote never gets old, its so iconic😁😁
Same it is one of the most iconic quotes in any movies
I saw an interview with what'shisname, who said he tried 60 or 70 takes for that scene, and they were breaking down when he said he wanted to try again, and did the iconic take. Then he said, "That was too much, wasn't it?" and the director said, "Yeah, but it was awesome!"
@@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xl actually its not, this whole movie reminds us that two things, if people unify, they are able to achive anything against all odds... the second one is unending war between europeans and arabs....
Sparta is the source of two English adjectives - Spartan and Laconic. Spartan means minimalist, austere, and bare necessities only. It comes from the fact that the Spartans despised luxury as causing weakness, and inequality as causing disunity. Laconic means speech which is short and biting. The use of few words for maximum impact. It comes from the area of Greece in which Sparta was - Lacaonia. The women of Sparta were said to be especially Laconic, having to deal with relatively dull, militaristic husbands and at the same time being in charge of the households and the farms and businesses in Sparta while their husbands spent most of their days in the male-only barrackses training and justifying their place among the Peers - the equals in military prowess and income.
The Spartan military system and the strict equality among the citizen-soldiers depended on the Helots, a neighbouring people whom the Spartans conquered and used as slaves, who took over all the labour and other occupations which the Citizens couldn't spend time on because they were all full-time professional soldiers. The society was a Military Aristocracy in the most literal sense, with two classes which were also two nationalities, one who were all warriors, and one who were all slaves.
Sparta's laws were designed to make Sparta the most dangerous city in Greece by keeping the male Citizens strong and all professional soldiers trained to an elite standard. But those laws led to Sparta's death, because they caused the number of Citizens to decline over time, due to the killing of weaker males at birth, deaths in training, the fact that the male-only barracks life encouraged homosexuality and left young men without social skills for relating to women, and due to the fact that any Citizen who retreated or showed fear in battle lost his Citizenship, and only the sons of Citizens could become Citizens. The requirement of excellence caused them to die out.
There was a third class, the Perioikoi who were mostly half Spartans or Spartans who have had their rights removed for various infractions. They mostly were considered "free men" but were not allowed in the Spartan Agogi and would often take up professions as craftsmen or on more rare occasions minor traders. They were also expected to take part in war and were closer in training, equipment and reliability as the average citizen soldiers (Hoplites) of other Greek city states. Their number was pretty small in the time of the Persian War's but as time progressed they actually got pretty numerous.
Thank you for writing this so clearly. I do not think most of the public realize they held a slave class doing the other “menial” jobs necessary to promote a stable and successful society. The graphic novel and movie focused on the “heroic” Spartans.
@@lynnkainin the height of the Spartan power, the Spartan male citizens were not more than 8.000 while the helots were several dozen times more numerous. An other thing that is not often spoken about is that the slave class was also expected to follow soldiers during military campaigns to perform maintenance on equipment, foraging for suplies as well as building and taking care of the camps. It is estimated that often there were almost as many slaves following an army as soldiers.
The whole thing about them despising luxury and inequality is all myth, fyi. They also didn’t “die out” they were conquered.
@@hercdrcThank you for the information. I stand corrected.
The strategy of the Spartans was to meet the enemy at strait passage so narrow that it will only allow a few dozen enemies in at a time. It’s like if I had to fight 10 guys I would want it to be in a telephone booth where only one man could try to get in at a time and I kill each man one by one and they can’t all attack me at once because they can’t all fit into the entrance.
The movie is obviously exaggerated but I think you'd be shocked by how much is true.
It's an accurate representation of how Spartans would tell the story.
Basically nothing outside of the fact 300 Spartans went to fight in Thermopylae and died covering the retreat is real.
Yes, stylised to create emotions for the story, and probably because they wanted to express art by the method. The Matrix did it in a different (but same) way. Also reminds me of the original Conan the Barbarian.
@@nagual1992 Not correct.
@@DaneDeon Ah yes. The infamous “Nuh Uh” of a man who doesn’t even know enough to put forth a counter.
Hello girls. I hope you understand my English.
The Battle of Thermopylae gained historical prominence by being recognized as the first recorded night battle in military history. During the conflict, Greek forces led by the Spartans tenaciously resisted Xerxes I's Persians.
A Greek traitor revealed to the Persians a secret path that bypassed Greek defenses. Upon realizing the vulnerability, Leonidas sent most of his troops to withdraw, deciding to remain with 300 Spartans, known as the "300", to fight to the death. The Persians finally managed to penetrate the Greek position and surround the Spartans, resulting in the heroic death of Leonidas and his men.
The Battle of Thermopylae is part of the Greco-Persian Wars, conflicts that involved the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire. Tensions between these two powers increased when Persia, under Darius I, attempted to expand its rule over the Greek city-states. The Ionian Revolt (499-494 B.C) and the Battle of Marathon (490 B.C) were precursor events that preceded the conflict at Thermopylae.
The main cause of the Battle of Thermopylae was Xerxes I's attempt to avenge the defeat of his father, Darius I, at Marathon. Wanting to expand the Persian Empire, Xerxes gathered a huge coalition of troops from several nations to invade Greece. The Persian strategy included forced passage through Thermopylae to open the way towards southern Greece. On the other hand, the Greeks, aware of the imminent Persian invasion, decided to block the passage at Thermopylae, taking advantage of its favorable topography.
Leonidas must have been in his sixties at the time of Thermopylae.
Following Xerxes' proposal to invade mainland Greece in 480 BC, Leonidas was chosen to lead a small contingent of Spartan hoplites - around 300 hand-picked men with male heirs - to defend the Thermopylae pass and maintain the invading force. Persian until more troops could be raised. The Spartans at this time were involved in the sacred festival of Karneia and therefore theoretically could not go to war until it was over.
Very well done my. I see you did your research. No lies detected
@@marcbrooks3423 I don't think he needs your approval
While the number of Persians was inflated for the purposes of the movie, the significance of the fight and the tactical approach of the Spartans on how they dealt with facing superior numbers was I believe fairly accurate.
Leonidas 's army numbered around 7000 Greeks. During the three day battle his army rotated units in and out of the front line to prevent fatigue. What isn't told is that besides the 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans also stayed behind. The Thespians all fought to the death, but Herodotus said most of the Thebans surrendered. And in real life, the Spartans wore chest armor.
@@4Kandlez relax, it's a compliment.
"Is this movie about showing men's body?"
Hela feeling something after seeing those bodies XD
No, it's showing how men sacrifice themselves for everything , country, wife, childern , family , marriage ,while getting a big FU back from wives , women ,
society .
Should men, real strong men , even attempt to do that today seeing as they aren't
appreciated ?
Think about that a little !
*300*
This movie is (very loosely) based on the historic Battle of Thermoplyae in 480 BC. As you can imagine, the added a huge amount of fantastical elements to the historical narrative. While the Spartan training portrayed in the movie is broadly accurate in its brutality, they left some things out. The boys in training were deliberately underfed, so that they'd learn how to survive on their own. While stealing was not forbidden, getting caught while stealing was punished viciously. Also, one of the last things a Spartan had to do before they completed their training in "the Agoge" was to murder a Helot, which was one of the slaves the Spartan's kept. In fact, the Helots were one of the main reasons the Spartans were so militaristic, the Helots actually outnumbered the Spartans, and they were worried about a slave uprising.
As for the Spartans, a major inaccuracy was what the Spartans are wearing. In real life they did not run around bear chested wearing nothing but leather speedos, though the red cloaks are accurate. They would have worn Bronze body armor known as a cuirass, bronze armor on their legs called greaves, a bronze helmet, and a large wood and bronze shield. Their primary weapon was an 8 foot spear and they carried a short sword as a secondary weapon. In fact most of the Greeks were to a certain extent, equipped in this manner, and it was one of the reasons the small force of Greeks did so well against the massive Persian army. The Persians were generally equipped with much lighter armor and generally fought in a much more skirmishing style. They were very unprepared for the much more face to face up close and personal combat the Greeks favored. The movie is right that there were only 300 Spartans present, but there were also 4000-7000 other Greeks from various City States also defending the pass with them, but acting under Spartan command.
As far as the Persians go, their were no monsters in their army, just men. Even the Immortals, who did actually exist were ordinary men, The name Immortals came from the fact that there were always 10,000 of them. If they lost men in combat, their numbers were always restored to 10,000. As far as the numbers go, the Greek Historian Herodotus, who was the first to write about the battle, puts their numbers as over a million. Historians to this day debate this claim, that perhaps it was exaggeration. Some Historians place the Persian numbers as low as 100,000-200,000 men, which, to be fair would still massively outnumber the Greeks.
The fact that the Spartan army was barred from marching at the beginning due to a religious festival did happen, but what went down with the Oracle went a little differently, according to Herodotus. He states that the Oracle predicted that either Sparta would fall, or Sparta would lose one of its Kings. Leonidas thought the king the Oracle refereed to was him, (Sparta was ruled by two kings,) and so led 300 Spartans to Thermoplyae. Initially, the battle went very well for the Greeks, with the Greek infantry holding the narrow mountain pass against the Persian army. They were aided in this endeavor by an Allied Greek Navy led by the Athenian fleet who, despite being outnumbered, held the Artemesium straight against the Persian Navy. This prevented Xerxes from landing Persian forces behind the Greeks by sea. Ultimately though, the Greek position was betrayed by a man named Ephialtes, however he was not a Spartan. Herodotus describes him as a local goat herder who showed the Persians the goat path that led behind the Greek position. The name Ephialtes later came to mean nightmare in Greek. The Greeks did get wind of it before it was too late though, so Leonidas ordered the bulk of the Greek army to retreat, while he would stay behind wit the 300 Spartans to act as a rear guard, buying time for the rest of the Army to retreat. 700 Greeks from the City State of Thespia, and 400 Thebans also chose to remain behind for the rear guard. They were all killed to the last man.
After the battle, the Persian Navy would be decisively defeated by the Athenian/ Greek navy at Salamis, and later the Persian army would be decisively defeated at Platea by a Spartan/ Greek army as the movie portrayed. This ended Xerxes attempt to conquer Greece. A well known epitaph, atributed to the Poet Simonides was placed on a stone at the site of the battle. Roughly translated it states "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie." Unfortunately, the original stone does not survive, but a new one was placed there in 1955.
Hella: “Is this movie about showing men’s bodies….because I’ve seen a lot!” You two crack me up! Definitely my favorite reactors! 😂
Also, keep in mind, this whole story is being told to the council and troops by Delios (the one eyed Spartan), which is why there are some aspects that seem far-fetched and out there (Xerxes being super tall, the giant beast that Leonidas decapitated, the guy with sword hands, etc…). Much of this is embellished and exaggerated by Delios to hype up the troops and gain favor with the council so they would send the whole army.
😂😂 just abs only 😂
while spartans were heavily armored in battle, they did hang out naked a lot when they werent.
@@chronolynx360bear in mind the graphic novel this is based on had no loincloths...
"Execute him!" - Bloodthirsty Chi
Chi... was blood drunk 🤣
I knew this movie would bring out the best of Evil Chi. Especially with the way Theron treated the queen. But it started as soon as the Persian messenger talked down to the queen. And am I wrong, or did I see a slight manifestation of an Evil Hella in this one too? 😂
Favorite line - Hella: You’re not the ruler of Vietnam!
So cute.
Yes, Evil Chi is back and ready to rumble!
Whoops, I missed the addition of "Evil Chi" in the comments section! Sooo fitting, lol, I love it!
They are called "Immortals" because each time someone dies on their group, they will find a replacement of it to keep the number of their members which is around 10,000.
27:15 "too brutal, but its okay" says Chi, while putting on that cute smile haha.
The battle really happened - Battle of Thermopylae - where a few thousand Greeks stood against few hundred thousands Persians.
Immortals were called the Immortals because everytime one was slain, another immediatelly replaced him in battle, so it looked like they never lose numbers, never die, hence the name Immortals.
Eyeliner was typical for men in all kinds of cultures in the past.
Spartans were one of the finest warriors in the past, thanks to the training they had as kids and later on, so what is portrayed in here is kinda right.
Oracle to them was something like a farseer, many cultures had such a figure in their societies and they usually followed /believed what Oracle told them.
Kids were not discarded as shown in this movie. As far as I know they were left alone in forest for nature to take its course.
Spartans wore full body armor, they werent as naked as they are shown here.
"Come back with your shield, or on it" means come back with your shield in your hands alive or dead carried on the shield.
When Leonidas says to Ephialtes at the end that may he live forever, he is actually insulting him, because in Spartan culture it is an honor to lay down their life - as they mentioned, a glorious death.
I guess that is all that needed some explanation. :) Others can add to it or if I was wrong in anything then correct me. Oh and by the way, react to Kingdom of Heaven at some time in the future as well please.
They weren’t the “finest” soldiers at the time or any time before they were conquered. That’s a myth that they themselves spread and still exists today, they actually had a very hard time adapting to a changing battlefield. The only thing they really excelled at was quick formational maneuvers, as they practiced them constantly. They were intimidating only in that they were one of the first armies to all wear the same armor, and that’s about it. Spartas army was no better than most others at the time, just a bit more intimidating, but lacking real power behind the facade.
@@MetastaticMaladies
Yeah, it's history as dreamt up by Miller's fascist and xenophobic mind.
@@MetastaticMaladies for you, which has the best military force in Ancient Greece?
@@MetastaticMaladies You're wrong. Spartans we're nearly undefeated for over 150+ years before they lost a war to Thebes in 378 BC. The Spartans we're feared and were seemingly invincible before losing to Thebes' army while Thebes was outnumbered, in particular the "Sacred band" which basically were the equivalent or better then the Royal Spartans which were Thebes' best fighters. The Sacred band of Thebes were 150 Pairs of ''Gay men'' that were the best in Thebes and that would die for each other in Battle similar to the Spartans. Please know your facts next time you post a comment since you seem to have very little knowledge about the Greeks.
27:14.. “Too brutal… but it’s okay!!” Lmaooo, I love you ladies! & The Spartans disposed of 20,000 Persians!
From my limited understanding, technically speaking the Persian troops were reasonably effective elsewhere, because they were used to fighting on mostly broad open environments where their speed/light infantry could be better used alongside their cavalry for tactics/strategy, presumably flanking and/or surrounding lesser/smaller armies.
The reason why so many were killed fighting the Spartans was due to several factors that severely weakened their usual effectiveness.
The geography squeezed them into a very small area with no real way around the Spartans. The Spartans were both very well equipped and well trained with full armor, shield, spear, and sword, and were trained to fight as a single unit.
The Persians had little choice but to shove men into a big metal wall that kept stabbing everything that ran at it.
Its a movie based on a comic book based on another movie based on history. As a comedy TV show put it, "it aint accurate, but it will blow your f*****g mind."
But they did discard sickly infants, send their children to military training, and a lot of the best lines are from the histories.
And they didn’t actually care about freedom or liberty, being slavers themselves, quite cruel ones at that.
@@MetastaticMaladies Yeah this movie shares that problem with Braveheart, but American audiences love the word freedom so....
@@MetastaticMaladies They didn't much care about individual liberty that is true , though they DID care about the liberty of the various greek city states to be their own kind of GREEK rather than under the boot of some foreign power. So they were sorta fighting for liberty and sorta not.
Perfect timing for my lunch time!!
Can't wait to hear Chi's cute cursing & Hela's worried screams!
I love 'em both
That dude on the horse stole Chi's skull collection.😂
The legend was that 300 Spartans held off Persians for several days killing thousands.
To my best knowledge modern history says it was a joint Greek army under Leonidas command around 5 thousand strong. The losses on the Persian side was 5 to 10 thousand, but it was disproportionately elite troops making it a good trade for the Greeks.
I doubt that ancient Greek/Persian history is widely taught in Vietnam but that era is fascinating with the personalities, warfare, philosophy, culture, history etc. if the girls ever get around to reading up on it. This movie leaves out what happened in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Thermopylae and how the Persians ran rampant through Greece until they were eventually defeated which is covered in 300: Rise of an Empire.
This movie leaves out history. Full stop. It's just permeated with Millers fascist thought and xenophobia. It's got nothing to do with actual historical events.
The saying "with your shield or on it" meant either win or die. No running away and leaving your shield. The movie itself may not exactly accurate but lots of real history in this.
The movie 300 is based on the comic book by Frank Miller. Both take inspirations from the real Battle of Thermopylae and the events that took place in the year of 480 BC in Ancient Greece. After three days of holding their own against the Persian king Xerxes and his vast southward advancing army, the Greeks were betrayed, and the Persians were able to outflank them. Sending the main army in retreat, Leonidas and a small contingent remained behind to resist the advance and were defeated. While the majority of these warriors met their end in the pass, fighting valiantly against the Persian horde, Aristodemus was one of the few who lived to see another day. His survival, however, was not celebrated as a stroke of fortune but rather viewed with suspicion and disdain by his fellow Spartans. This is how we know of the death of Leonidas and the 300 Spartans. But this sacrifice gave Sparta and other Greek countries a chance to prepare a counter to the invading Persians.
What should also be pointed out is that Frank Miller is a raving xenophobe and Islamophobe.
6:09 When you say bye bye so sweetly, people should worry. 😂
Evil Chi is my favorite!
👀😂
I love that Hella is a screamer
300 is a true story in history
While this is based on actual history (Battle of Thermopylae, a very important battle for Western Civilization), it's greatly exaggerated in certain areas. And while the Spartans were in shape (though they'd tend to LEAN muscle) and had long hair, they did actually wear breastplates, as just one example of this movie taking liberties with the truth. However, most of the cool lines (Persian: "Our arrows will blot out the sun!" Spartan Reply: "Then we will fight in the shade!") are real and are recorded by the historians of the time. The Spartans were known for being quick wits. Anyway, if you view this film as something a drunk Spartan elder might tell over a campfire to young Spartan boys or visitors from other cities, then you can enjoy it as what it is: an awesome action movie!
The movie is perfectly matching the comic that it's based of, including all the errors.
The comic is the inaccurate thing.
Laconic spartan speech. "Surrender and give us your weapons", "come and get them"
You guys are so funny! This is quickly becoming my Fav "Movie Reaction" Channel! Your more authentic than so many others that fake their reactions
They still teach this defence in military schools around the world...The Spartans and their allies held out for three days ( in battle) Seven altogether... In the end, the Spartan way of life led to their downfall.
8:06 "so trust in women." -hella
smart. 😉🚺
The word laconic is derived from Laconia, the capital of which was the city of Sparta. The Spartans were famed for being warriors, but also for having a sharp tongue while using few words.
Like in the movie, when the warrior say's "then we fight in the shades" which is according to legend an actual quote from this historic event.
If I remember correctly the exchange “Spartans lay down your weapons” and the response “Persians come and get them.” Was a real exchange.
@@Villa22Lobos2 Yes, there are actually multiple of those in the movie.
My favorite one (which is not in the movie) is when Philip II of Macedon, who in theory ruled over the whole of Greece, tried to intimidate them "If I conquer you, I will do this and that..."
They just answered with a single word in their message: "If"
there is also an other awesome Laconic quote from a different time period, Philip II send Sparta a message practically telling them to surrender for if his troops were to move to the region it would burn down their city, the response from the spartan side was the word "IF"
Fight in the shades 😎
@@Astuga i love this quote .. But they need to understand who Philip was at that time and how crazy daring was to say something like that to Philip and how weak Sparta was at that time as well ...and still they dared :D
“With your shield or on it.” means come back carrying your shield (marching home In victory) or dead (carried on the shield like a stretcher). The choice not offered was “without your shield,” which means that you dropped it to run away as a coward. Sparta expected absolute bravery and courage in its defense, even unto death.
The tactics used by Leonidas during the Battle of Thermopile are taught in military schools across the globe to this day.
Spartans were a true warrior society. Nobody wanted to deal with them but everyone wanted them on their side
"Too brutal...but it's okay." Awesome. Thanks for the reaction.
I think a lot of us forget this film is told from the viewpoint of the character that loses an eye and narrates the film. He’s telling the tales as he recalls them, and not only does he probably exaggerate some of it, but films are also fun when they get very creative with the characters and visuals, which is why some of the characters are basically portrayed as monsters or mutants.
Everybody seems to miss this. Its supposed to be inaccurate and exaggerated.
Yes, no mention that Sparta was a slave state or they had to have the wives dress as men so they would have intercourse with them.
There were 300 Spartans and about 7,000 other Greeks. There were probably more along the lines of 150,000 Persians.(estimates are between 120K-300K)
Its estimated that about 20,000 Persians were killed before the Spartans were defeated while covering the retreat of the other remaining Greeks.
Hela- "Is this movie about showing men's bodies? Because I've seen like a lot." LOL!!!
Yeas, Miss Hela, it is.
The efialtis was NOT from Sparta, when Lonidas say to him may you live for ever that was and is an ensolt to a Greek, By the way the word efialtis still remains to the greek language even today means nightmare
This movie is based on the real events. One thing to point out is that for the whole movie, Dilios is retelling the events of the battle at the hot gates. So while much of the battle is made grander than actual events and things like rhinos are made into bigger more brutish beasts, Its because Dilios is embellishing the story to inspire the troops. That said, there is a lot of interesting things that were real. For example, "Our arrows will blot out the sun" and "then we will fight in the shade" were lines taken from the actual messages sent back and forth before the battle. And what isn't real, can be excused as Dilios embellishing the story.
In ancient Sparta, only two types of people received what we call a funeral, soldiers who died in battle, and women who died in childbirth.

What is true and false depends on the reporter.
Thanks for the Entertainment ‼️
This is a film based on a graphic novel, which is then based on a 1962 film "The 300 Spartans," which is then based on the historical accounts of Herodotus.
This is one of the coolest movies ever
While based on a true battle, this movie is an adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel "300". A very accurate one, too : Most of the iconic dialogue, shots, and use of color and shadows is strictly recreating the original. A great movie, on quite a small budget for its scale, too. Still Snyder's best work, imo.
Ephialtes feeling "social pressure" for being cursed for those who first tried to kill him when a monster baby, be like 😮
I get more fond of you girls with every reaction I see.
😍🤗
This is the Battle of Thermopylae . A real battle between Sparta and Persia. The legend was 300 Spartans vs 1,000,000 Persians. I think historians say the Persians were a bit less.
"Spartan" is known in Western culture as being "hardened or elite" even today.
Don't forget the huge Persian fleet. There were an estimated 300,000 soldiers fighting the Spartans, but many more in the supply train and naval fleet.
Here's hoping you'll watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy (so, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King) next!😃 I think you'd really love those movies! Oh, and if you can, try to watch the extended versions. ;-)
Yes we will watch these movies

Fantastic!😄
Ephor: Trust not in men
Hella: So trust in women
At the actual location of the place where Leonidas & the 300 fought and died, there's a large flat stone carved in the Greek language "parser by go to Sparta & tell them that by Spartan law here we liye,!"
I could be wrong, I believe it has been there for 2000 years if not more
Spartan's were amazing warriors they had strategy, courage, bravery, no fear of death, honor. Their way of living and how each person was raised through life lasted for well over 150 years
Also I loved your matching outfits for this reaction ladies!
Thank you thank you 🥰😁
Welcome to every internet meme of 2007
"This is (insert any word that rhymes with Sparta)!!"
It should be noted that, although the battle did indeed take place in 480 BCE, the highly stylised visuals (and historical inaccuracies) were lifted straight from the graphic novel of the same name written and illustrated by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley.
The significance of the spear at the end is that Xerxius felt the sting as it cut his face and bled. You see, Gods don't bleed.
Exactly. By bleeding, Xerxes loses his mystique as an untouchable god. In some ways, it’s even worse than if Leonidas had killed him.
I mean in Greek Mythology also the gods bleed. Only there blood is golden.
The Spartans left for military training when they were 7 years old and turned from boys, to men to spartans
HAHAHAHA. "That's 300 .....times 300."
There were only two way to get a tomb stone in Sparta. One, if you died in battle and the other way was a woman who died in childbirth because they considered giving birth the woman’s battlefield. All others were in unmarked graves.
3:55 "But thats not many!" XDDD I was dead lol.
The brutality of Chi and the 300…..a perfect combination ❤
This movie is loosely based on the historic battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC but it’s mostly based on a graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics called the 300 Written and drawn by Frank Miller. Every frame in 300 is a masterpiece
32yr old man with a 4yr old daughter... One thing I intend to teach her is, when things get REALLY serious? Human teeth vs a human throat has a clear winner every single time
in europe you learn enough about greek history at school to understand the movie :-)
For a more accurate movie about ancient Greeks and Persians, watch "Alexander" it's about Alexander the great.
Which version?
What I like about this movie is the absolute defiance and tenacity of the Spartans. They refused to surrender even to the end of their lives. I admire their resilience and warrior spirit.
23:OO - "He's like a woman", I laughed SO HARD at that :D
In case you were not aware this film is actually a faithful adaptation of a comic book.
The writer Frank Miller is best known for Sin City, Daredevil, and Batman comics.
Miller was an executive producer on this film and was co-director for the film version of Sin City.
“”That’s like 300 times 300.” I love it..
This is in fact a true story, the Spartans & their allies made a stand at the narrowest point of the route into Greece in a place called Thermopylae. They bravely held back the Persian army for a few days before falling. This was a symbolic gesture in order to unite all Greeks against the invaders. This truly was the birth of Western civilization as the Greek allies routed the Persians at the Battle of Platea.
Great fun watching another culture react to the birth of bloody European history.😁👍
The Spartans were cruel though, they kept slaves to do farming and physical labor and I read that when teenagers were to become a warrior one of their tasks was to kill one of the slaves.
Now you know what Captain Algren and Katsumoto were talking about in The Last Samurai 👍🏻👍🏻
The Spartans and their Theban allies killed an estimated 20,000 Persians in 3 days at Thermopylae (the Hot Gates) before they were surrounded and killed to the last man.
The battle of Thermopylae changed the course of history.
In reality, Spartans were like the Nazis of the ancient world. They did throw small or weak babies to their deaths. Only those who had undergone military training could be citizens. They employed slaves to work in the fields, they looked down on all other cultures, and all the Spartans did was learn to fight. However, their women had greater freedoms than women in other cultures. Interestingly, Persia was not at all like it is seen in this movie: Persian citizens had far more equality than the Greek city states offered their people.
Yea the Spartans weren't exactly saints.
Based on a true event but also based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller. This movie isn’t accurate at all except it got the gist right; 300 dudes died defending the pass and a yr later, the Spartans and other Greeks defeated the Persians. This is 99% fantasy but a wonderful film 🎉❤
With spartan law, all men had to be soldiers. If you were not / failed, you were exiled. They believed the only way for a spartan to have a good death was on battlefield. Any soldier that ran was again, exiled. That's why the queen said before Leonidas left "come back with your shield, or on it", meaning come back victorious, or body carried back on the shield. The soldier that lost his eye is sort of mentioned in history. Though there were actually 2. One went home as he could no longer fight, and was exiled, the other basically said "point me in the direction of the Persians" and basically just charged them blindly (literally lol)
The way she said too brutal, but it's ok at 27:13 with his hand on his cute face make me melt hahaha
9:35 "300 is kind of a small number."
It depends on how you deploy it. In the Battle of Thermopylae, which this movie dramatizes, Leonidas deployed his troops as a phalanx in a narrow pass with impassible terrain on each side. This made it possible to hold up charge after charge from the largest army ever assembled. As he explained earlier, in his talk with the ephors, "Their numbers will count for nothing."
This is what they called a Pyrhic victory. They lost the battle but their sacrifice gave countrymen courage to win the war. There many examples. The Bretons at the Goddodin, The Saxons at at the battle of Maldon. They were REAL men in those days. Death before Dishonor.
3:07 "and he's handsome." -hella
and he's an adult. 👍🏼
The took Leonidas' head. It was posted at the entrance of the Persian encampment. The Persians' feared to walk past it because they believed Leonidas would kill them from death.
27:12 "Too brutal... but its okay...." 🤣👍
300 is based on the battle of Thermopylae which is true.
The movie which is based on a graphic novel is supposed these events as portrayed by a story teller that is exaggerating aspects to make the tale bigger.
That being said there still things in the movie that are true from the real event.
Mostly a lot of the best lines are supposed to be actual quotes from Leonidas "Persians! Come and get them" and "Then we shall fight in the shade" my personal favorites.
You missed a step. Frank Miller wrote 300, based of the movie 300 Spartans. Additionally, accounts weren't first hand.
"Come back with your shield or come back on it" meant you either carried your shield back from war,or your shield would be used to carry your body off the field. The Spartan shield was about 3 feet in diameter and could be used for that purpose.
300 is based on true events, but the movie did exaggerate parts. Which all movies do so I wouldn't worry too much about what is accurate and what is not. The only thing I would worry about is if you enjoy the movie or not. I personally enjoy 300 and am glad to see you two lovely ladies reacting to it.
Hello, Ladies, the battle is real, the battle strategy that king Leonides used is what held up the Persians for several days, giving the many Greek city states to prepare.
There are a number of facts this movie either gets wrong or glosses over. It's true, in their day, the Spartans were the _best_ trained warriors in the world. They were _incredibly_ well prepared for war. Their undoing came from the fact that they were hopelessly _unprepared_ for anything _else,_ and one _dares_ not live for war alone, because _every_ war inevitably ends.
The historical account of this event shows the Spartans went up against around 10,000 or so Persians and did extremely well. Their sacrifice gave the rest of Greece time to prepare for war.
I have always enjoyed this "semi" historical movie, great action, cool story and super actors. Hand to hand combat was not a pretty sight but just how it is. You ladies are one of the best reactors, you always have great comments, great expressions and dress so elegantly.
25:10 "Hubris" (Hew - bris). The English say it with more like a "Who-bris". It's sort of like having a big ego and underestimating a topic or idea. "The snow storm was bad, but Alex and his hubris is what caused his car to get stuck in the snow."
