Hope you all enjoy today's reaction sunday! I've already recorded next weeks video and it's one that I laughed of so much!
Can you guess which movie it is? 🥳✨
You must see the sequel to complete the story.
Jerkes tenía pelo largo y barba por qué lo ponen calvo y como un metro sexual.y lleno de pirsin y pendientes.
The Persian Immortals were a real life unit that was always reinforced to full numbers before being sent into combat, no enemy ever saw them at anything but full strength, so they were called immortal because it _looked_ like none of them ever died.
Family, Upbringing, Honor, the unavoidability of violence and inability to change human nature is the red line that goes through all of Zack Snyders movies.
All the heavens all the hells are within you.
Always love to see the Dominican Queen 😍😍
I worked on the VFX for this movie. To this day it's the movie I am most proud of.
Which shot(s)?
@@sksknight a few shots in the Ephialtes betrayal scenes. Not much but having my name in the credits is pride material.
Thats cool man!
Well, Sir. Thank you so much. It's such a big part of the movie.
@@kalakritistudios lol wow. Like Batman said: you don't have to thank me. Lol
It must be said that, in real life, 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans freely decided to stay with the Spartans to the bitter end. It was a tragedy specially for the Thespians whose city-state was really small in size and population. All of them lost their lifes there and deserve to be remembered. By the way, great reaction, as always!
👍👍👍
The Thebans seem to have surrendered though. There is a monument to the Thespians that says "Just as they lived alongside the Spartans, they equally died alongside them."
Yep. I was going to say the same thing. The Thespians fought like demons.
@@jakobroynon-fisher9535 Thebes ended up giving earth and water to Xerxes, He kept the Thebans around because otherwise they may have joined the enemy force
@@jakobroynon-fisher9535 Yes, we know about the Thebans remaining unwillingly through Herodotus, but his version is very much contested... even by Plutarch. "The 'final problem' at Thermopylae" by J.A.S. Evans is a good read
Everyone loves the voices of Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, etc. But David Wenham gives a masterclass in narration here.
Thank you!! I completely agree. All those voices are majestic.
Yes he does
“To cry out was considered a sign of cowardice. It was not unheard of for a Spartan boy to die of a beating without uttering a word.” ~ Steven Pressfield
I just read Gates of Fire by Pressfield recently. Such a good read.
@@Fangtornit was required reading for my military unit when you became a leader.
I'll check it out @@Fangtorn
@@donaldmccombs5566was there any other required reading?
It was number 2 on the marine commandants recommended reading list. I read it once a year.
Also on the list was Starship Troopers. It’s also really good.
Leonidas saying may you live forever is the biggest insult a spartan can say to another
Yet ironically, Leonidas and the brave Spartans do "live forever" in humanity's collective memory. And its a good thing too that they never encountered an alien Vulcan giving them a certain famous blessing....
@@x_trio_3_po333 there is a vast difference between "live long" and "live forever" lol
No one in Greece, today, names their son Ephialtes. The name is now defined as nightmare.
I've always looked at 300 as a Cultural movie rather than a historical one. It is told in the same style as ancient Greeks told their stories - with grandeur, legend, heroism, and tragedy. It is not a 'historical' recreation but one that fits the Greek culture around storytelling
This movie is based on graphic novel, no graphic novel are accurate to the real history. This movie were told based on the narrator Who exagerate his story. Just like how american propaganda works
@@boboboy8189 the whole of human history is stories
Its very accurate except some details
@@petrospetromixos6962 🙈
@@boboboy8189crazy how you can make a video about a movie based on a comic based in greece somehow a bash about the U.S
Fun fact: the guy that was injured in the eye and instructed by Leonidas to go back, Dilios, is the source of the Greek word δειλός which means coward, because in Spartan society, coming back from a battle alive was considered cowardish. So in order to get rid of the social stain he actually had to go in 4 or 5 more battles and die in order for the stain to go away
I believe the nickname he was given was "he who trembled"
17:20
Fun fact: Leonidas did really chuck a spear at the persian commander and yelled "MOLON LABE!", which is "COME AND GET THEM!"
The Agoge also taught the boys the art of laconic speech, to throw demoralizing insults towards the enemy as psychological warfare. They were basically taught to be shit-talkers 😂
What's even more awesome is that Leonidas' quote was immortalized by the Modern Greek Army who uses it as their motto.
There's also the written correspondence between Xerxes I and Leonidas I where Leonidas I told Xerxes I: "Molon labe"
Not really. Nobody said or yelled anything of the sort, there was exchange of letters.
It was written not spoken but wouldn't be so dramatic in a movie now wouldn't it?
Unlike today's cockless society men were allowed to be men back then. These are the men who are remembered by history and helped shaped the future.
women also went through the agoge
That moment when he pauses to check with his Queen, whether she's ready for him to do some shit and start a war, and her nod.
Another interesting fact is that the Spartans were the proverbial fathers of the one-liners, known as laconic speech. Fighting in the shade, only Spartan women give birth to real men, the Spartan response of "IF" when Alexanders father threatened to invaded them.
One of the neighboring cities had no food and sent an emissary to Sparta. The man gave a long speech about how they needed food, but was sent away without any because the Spartans found his long speech annoying. He came back with an empty bag, pointed at it, and said "this bag needs grain". After some deliberations the Spartans agreed to give food, but felt his speech had again been on the longer side. It would be more than enough to show the bag and simply say "grain".
Sorry but they did not respond to Alexander with the IF but the Athenians who told the Spartans IF they won they would enslave the Spartans and destroy their culture their city and way of life and if the Sparta wished to avoid that then they should should submit to Athenian rule , and that is when the Spartans replied" IF".
@zwelethumahlalela8685 actually it was Alexander's father, Philip II of the macedonians, I misspoke when I said Mesopotamians
Edit: and I said it was Philip the second of the macedonians, Alexander's father I didn't say Alexander. It happened in 338 BC so now that you kept it sold it will respond that you need to amend your statements as well as work on your reading comprehension. Please.
@@alaneskew2664 again u show u no nothing the Mesopotamias are not Greek, Alexander's father was Macedonian, but they did give the exact reply to the Athenian during the peloponnesian war.
@zwelethumahlalela8685 that's interesting cuz I've be actually quite well studied in the subject. Now I was under the impression that it was Philip of Macedon who uttered the threat. I did Miss speak when I said Mesopotamians, I meant macedonians. It happens. Don't act like you haven't misspoke before. Now Before you go to ad hominem attack know that I could probably burn you down faster than you can blink. But I'd rather not go into a churlish argument. So please walk back your statement and let's be civil. Otherwise it's just going to get ugly for you. I could have made a mistake, but you could be much nicer.
Upon further research, I'm right In 338, having defeated a last, desperate alliance of the central Greek city states at Chaeronea, Philip the 2nd brought his army down into the Peloponnese.
He sent his messengers to Spartans demanding their surrender in no uncertain terms:
You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city
To which the Spartans proudly replied
If.
A side note on the movie. There is a reason why you see a yellowish/dark screen, many crazy-looking beasts, abnormally deformed people, and a huge Persian King. The narrator is telling the events that happened to his soldiers a year later. The soldiers see it in their imagination as you see it. Another interesting point of this battle was that the Spartan King sent two messengers. They were accused of cowardice for leaving. One committed suicide and the other eventually proved himself in battle. The immortals were the personal guards of the Persian King. They were called that bc when they were killed in battle they would always be replaced with others to give the allusion of immortality. Always a 10k strong force. One more thing is that this war is credited by most historians as preserving democracy.
but sparta was no democracy, that was why they were the strongest state in greece
Based on a very stylistic graphic novel, but not as realistic as "V For Vengeance".
It wasn't meant to be historically accurate. It's a legend in a mythically epic of an ancient history interpreted in a graphic novel comic book adapted into an awesome badass film! That's all. It's fantastical and inspiring of further study of antiquity!
@@genghisgalahad8465 A Boy's book of the Labors of Hercules inspired me to read when I was 6!
@@achgelisfocke-wulf6851 Sparta was not strong, at all. They lost more battles than they ever won and they are grossly over exaggerated for almost everything talked about now. It’s also very funny how they speak of free men in this movie, considering they themselves were slavers, and they were very cruel to the slaves they used. Athens was much better, not only in warfare but in every way imaginable. Sparta was a slave state obsessed with aesthetics and ego, nothing more.
Katsumoto: "What happened to those men at Thermopylae?"
Algren: "Dead to the last man."
Katsumoto: *smiles*
Technically The Last Samurai spoiled this film for you 😂
OHMYGOD
@@Centane This movie actually gives me cringe because it's so historically inaccurate infact it's propaganda that tries to tell opposite of what happened in history.
For example: The Persian empire at the time was leading fields of science and feedom. It was the first empire to abolish slavery and the Persian ruler was not someone evil, nor were the Persians as the movie displays. The Persians defeated Romans under Darius and many other powerful rulers like him.
@@blackpanthar906 lol
@@blackpanthar906 butt-hurted persian who missed the history class i presume.
@@Gonzalo_Almendra cringe
I love how it's so clearly stylized into a story. Everything is obsessed with being realistic now, this was perfectly legendary.
Yes, the fight is an historical event but the movie is based in a graphic novel by Frank Miller, not in the historical fight, that's the reason of the stylized design
Leonidas quote of "may u live for ever" is a "curse" to a Spartan for he will never know a "Beautiful Death/Glorious Death"
And, specifically to Ephialtes, to live forever being such a disgraceful and coward traitor.
Originally, the phrase "Come back with your shield or come back on it" was given by a Spartan mother to her Spartan son right before he marched off to battle. It meant victory or death. It meant he should either come back carrying his shield, which meant he was victorious, and no one was able to take his shield from him in battle. Or he should come back dead being carried on his shield. There was no third option.
There is no record however of dead hoplites being carried back from the battlefield on their shields , I doubt if such a thing is even possible .
Well, coming back without your shield meant you dropped it to be able to run faster. Run AWAY faster. So the forbidden option was fleeing.
@@carlox1266then you must search better
@@harristv2502 Did you find any such record ?
@@rcrawford42 Indeed. Basically, Mom was saying "Don't be a pussy."
"I hope you live forever" what Leonidas says to Ephialtes just before the end is bottomline meant as an insult, as Stelios says in the beginning, what really matters to a spartan is to die an honorable death, no need for immortality. Loved the reaction and emotions, I had many of the same. Also but this is more a personal feeling, I love how they depict Leonidas and Gorgo both as equally as strong. And supportive when Leonidas asks for guidance.
Taken as a whole, the Battle of Thermopylae really took place (thermo pylae literally means "hot" and "gate" in Greek) between land and naval forces of Persia and Greece/Sparta. There's much artistic license taken though. The Spartans were the most heavily armored soldiers at the time, completely clad in bronze from head to foot, not clad in just a loincloth. And the hunchback portrayed in this movie, Ephialtes, was not deformed, but did tell the Persians about the small goat path that led behind the Spartan positions.
And to this day, over 2000 years later, the name Ephialtes still means "nightmare" in Greek
The battle of the Thermopylae is an historical event but the movie is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, not in the historical fight, in which almost 3000 Greeks joined the Spartans in the fight and almost 1000 stay to last moment with them
A note on the "Queen" : She was played by the incomparable Lena Headey, the same actress that later played Cersei Lanister in GoT
And also played Sarah Conner in "The Sarah Conner Chronicles" (2008) TV series, which is the only post-Terminator 2 show worth watching.
300 Spartans were actual King's personal bodyguardsmen. Elite of the elites. They were trained to fight against superior numbers which could revolt against king. They're like special forces of modern warfare, well trained flexible small squads against battalion sized enemies.
In real history, there were thousands of Greek comrades who fought along side with Leonidas but 300 are his special forces. But to delay the huge Persian Forces for 3 days when it was its peak was legendary & one of the most greatest military accomplishments in history. Even though 300 Spartans were sacrificed, they gave enough time for whole Greece to prepare & their mainforce to retreat giving morale boost which led to Persian's defeat. Had it not been for Battle of Thermopylae, the whole tide of Greek history could've changed & essentially the whole Europe even though Persians weren't that bad as the movie implies, the greek idea of democracy would've died with monarchy and never spread across globally today.
To anyone who loves the story of 300 and also likes historical fiction I cannot recommend Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield highly enough. It's a lot more historically accurate and nuanced than this film while still telling a really compelling story about bravery and heroism. It's one of those novels I did not want to put down.
Helena Schrader's "Leonidas of Sparta" series is also very good.
This movie is told from the narrator's perspective, and he's embellishing to drum up morale of the army around him, so historical accuracy isn't a big concern.
It's the same plot device people try to defend Thor Love and Thunder as using, and that may be true, but it was detrimental to that movie, unlike this one.
@@JakkFrost1nobody is saying this film is bad or needs to be different. They’re just saying if you enjoy this film, and want to see one on the same subject but more historically accurate, then check out this other film. Calm down. 😂
@@butkusfan23 I clearly never said this movie was bad, merely added to the original post that there was a contextual reason for the lack of historical accuracy, and stated that it worked well for this movie.
But somehow, what I said seems to have greatly put you on the defensive, so I redirect your "calm down" back to you.
Thank you very much for that book recommendation. I have ordered a copy. I plan to visit Greece from Australia next year and reading will only Hype me up further to visit the Hot Gates.
The last words spoken between This King and Queen were spoke by The King "Marry a good man and bare good children." That is LOVE!
Your jaw dropping moments during this classic was priceless ...
a few points..
He decided to sacrifice himself as it was Spartan law that if the King was killed the nation would go to war, the oracles had refused the kings request so it was the only way left open to him .
The immortals were called the immortals as there were always 10,000, when some were killed in battle they were replaced ... they were the Persian professional soldiers.
Now there was a nasty side to the Spartan also , they had defeated another Greek tribe call the helots and they became their slaves ... to keep the helots population in control spartan boys would roam the countryside and kill any helots they could find during a limited period of time each year ...
Leonidas sacrificed himself because the Oracle of Delphi, when asked how Sparta should respond to the Persian invasion, responded that either the Persians would sack Sparta or a Spartan king must die. The Spartans did not send their entire army to Thermopylae because a religious festival was underway during which Spartans were forbidden to wage war. Such religious festivals were common. The ephors refused to grant an exception to that tradition as they did not want to anger the gods. Since, y'know, ticking off the gods is a good way to lose a war.
This movie is loosely based on the historic battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC but it’s mostly based on a graphic novel from Marvel Comics called the 300 Written and drawn by Frank Miller. Every frame in 300 is a masterpiece
Watching this reminds me of what I once heard someone dub the George Lucas effect
When a new director gets early success so is given free reign and then loses his touch because those who have him free reign didn't realise that his early success actually came from the inexperienced directors experience support team.
Same happened with shyamalan
And..of course.. Snyder
He can be great. If he has more knowledgeable people keeping him focussed
@@jgreen2015 Lol, that is a lot bs that you invented and none of it true.
It's not from Marvel Comics, it's from Dark Horse Comics.
there is also pretty funny parody of kinda gay Spartans lmao
@@hoya1178 Channel Awesome 'why do good directors go bad'
You'll find it there :)
I had no idea you would trip so hard on this movie. Welcome to the club.
"Why am I saying we?" Thanks for that :)
This movie was the reason I went to Sparta, to see the statue of Leonidas - my own little pilgrimage! 😁 Aaaaaahhhhwooo! For the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games Gerard Butler went there to light the Olympic torch and gave the "This is SPARTA!" cry - awesome!
*mouth full of apple* "Besides, There's no reason we can't be civil. Is there?"
*Stabs wounded man pleading for his life* "None, sire."
gets me every damn time xD
GIVE THANKS MEN! ufff that last phrase breaks you entirely. Their sacrifice allowed them to have enough time to gather a strong enough army to face the Persians. Awesome movie. FYI there's a monument in Thermopylae of Leonidas that says "MOLON LABE" (come and get them)
Spartans dying in battle was the ultimate honor, telling that hunch back “may you live forever” was the ultimate insult
You don't see the other Spartan king in this movie but even though one goes to battle there is the other that stays home. That's why he and his soldiers are willing to take on a large army by turning the enemy into a logical nightmare, because they have another king holding the fort, and the soldiers have "backup" sons to keep the family bloodline going.
And one reason the 'elders' of Sparta decided that Leonidas should march into war.
@@zoltanposfai3451the reason that Leonidas himself decided to go to war, it was a Delphi oracle prophecy that he said "or a king of Sparta with bloodline from Heracles himself it dies in battle, or the Sparta will burn to the ground" so Leonidas who it was distance offspring of Heracles and believes in that prophecy fleet from Sparta knowing that he never return alive...
@@harristv2502 The reason he went from the two kings might have been that, but the decision that Sparta should go, was done by the elders.
This was peak Zack Snyder IMO. None of this other movies even remotely compare to 300, it was lightning in a bottle. The visual style, poetic narration, editing...the whole movie is just one big work of art.
I agree with that 100%
The sequel is just as good.
100% accurate comment. Snyder often has great ideas and concepts, but 300 was the one time they were perfectly executed.
And Watchmen Directors Cut
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but Dilios (the narrator) is the actor that portrayed Faramir in TLOTR.
This movie was based on a graphic novel written by frank Miller. He's best known for a comic called Sin City. It was also turned into a movie directed by Robert Rodriguez. I highly recommend giving it a watch.
I read the graphic novel. I think it's Frank Miller's greatest.
For the record, Spartans did wear some thick armour in all their battles. I think the film wanted to reference the fact that in ancient times Greek heroes were often depicted "heroically nude" to display their extraordinary physique.
Glad to see that your channel has grown quite well in the past 1-2 year. I think your honesty and empathy comes through clearly. Keep up the good work!
Narrated by a Spartan and all Spartans hate Athens, so this bit makes sense. He attributes a storm for destroying Persia's ships. That was the Athenian navy.
There was a storm historically that severely weakened Persian’s ships.
For all of the actual quotes they tried to include in this film, one of the great shames of this movie is the one they didn't include at departure scene where he bids his queen farewell. According to the ancient historian Plutarch, Queen Gorgo was said to have asked Leonidas before he left what she should now do; his response to his wife was "Marry a good man, bear good children, and live a good life."
"the man who fancies himself a god feels a very human chill crawl up his spine" damn man what a line
I have watched a lot of your videos u r awesome and I heard u say u were a RN. From one RN to another, thank you for everything u do. I worked er and trauma for multiple years and worked on ambulances transporting critical brain bleed patients. Thank you from the bottom of my heart😊
Many of the lines like, "we shall fight in the shade." comes from the actual lines that were reported to have been said at the Battle of Thermopylae. Back then, "The Hot Gates" were very narrow, but now, through erosion, they are very wide. You can still go there to see the battlefield.
This was (very loosely) based on the battle of Thermopylae, where a Persian army of severel hundreds thousands of men met a force of 7,000 Greeks. The battle was fought for several days with the Pesians being unnable to bring the weight of their numbers against the Greeks in the narrow passes. The persians were informed of the goat path by a Greek traitor, and moved to outflank, and trap the Greek army. King Leonidas led a force of 300 Spartains ( along with up to 2000 other Greek troops). in an attempt to give the remaining Greeks time to escape. King Leonidas was moderately successful with some 3000 greeks escaping, with the bulk of the rear guard (including King Leonidas) fighting to the death. The Persians won the battle of Thermopylae, but payed a heavy price (about 20,000 dead). This cost (along with a decisive naval loss) convinced King Xerxes to retreat back to Asia
You have such good reactions. I really enjoyed this!
34:08 The Spartans master the “spear” perfectly! What if he hadn't missed his shot? Persian King is considered by himself and his army as a god, this is what affirms his power ! Leonidas would not have wanted to kill a man, but killed a god, by making sure that we no longer believe in him, a bleeding god is not a god.

This was so entertaining and much fun! I really hope you watch the second movie, sadly many reactors forget about it... 👀❤
For some reason back in 2006 there were a ton of people thinking this movie was historical? Some criticism was like "this is not realistic". People genuinely criticized the movie for not being historical.
No shit, it's clearly a fantasy movie, and it's based on a comic book. Movie is underrated because of that
Well it is based on History and many of the pertinent facts are there
What you have to realise though is the film is not meant to be like as if the camera was there recording - the entire film is the story as told by the narrator. We are seeing the story he is telling
eh there's usually a number of idiots that try to claim much of this is historically accurate (it is certainly not) each video. Because something did happen (the battle) and someone did exist (the king) people want to believe the rest happened as shown. It did not.
@@hadoken95 many of the quotes are real quotes
The strategy of using the narrow strait to undermine the vast numerical advantage is true
If you think of it as a relating of the tale told around the campfire that evolved from the actual historic event then it is accurate. That's how legends come to be.

Partly just because the heat of battle makes it inaccurate. Partly to communicate how terrifying it was.

@@Centane You're so welcome. Marketing is part of my background and I have no doubt they will. Have a great week ✌🏻💕
Watching this I so heart you.
This battle is actually referenced in The Last Samurai which I'm sure you reacted to.
Tom Cruise tells Katsumoto about the battle of Thermopolie where 300 Greeks defended against a Persian army of 1 million
"1 million you understand this number yes?" 😊
In case you did not study history, this was a romanticized version of the truth... Of course there were actually 300 spartans, but along with a few thousand other soldiers from other parts of Greece. In the historical record, there was bridge of ships that crossed that part of the Mediterranean, called the Hellespont. At Thermopylae, he was victorious, and then all the way to Athens. He was finally assassinated by his own guard 15 years after this battle. His third son (his second son was also assassinated at the same time as Xerxes) took over the Persian Empire. Leonidas, on the other hand, was requested to join the battle and did... with 1200 men, only 300 of which were considered Spartan warriors. At the Hot Gates, he joined an army of 7000 men who were placed under his command. He actually died early on in the battle. History (for me) was more compelling, as there were more people involved, including a battle at sea, with its own heroes! All at Thermopylae! And, yes, he knew it was going to be their death. This is why in the scene where they were embarking on their journey, he asked if all the men had sons to carry on their names.
Spartans were also an unimaginably evil people who ran a brutal slave state.
@@patrickwaldeck6681 LOL! They were not liked by the other greeks, for sure! I just didn't want to burst Kamilla's bubble too hard! But now that it's said....
Crazy to think, that while this is mythicized, these events actually happened in history.
One of the greatest last stands in history, and will be remembered forever.
History is completely full of surprises! 😁
I love watching your reactions, great job
Great reaction to one of the greatest warrior movies ever made. Thank you.
530-480 B.C.) was a king of the city-state of Sparta from about 490 B.C. until his death at the Battle of Thermopylae against the Persian army in 480 B.C. Although Leonidas lost the battle, his death at Thermopylae was seen as a heroic sacrifice. Leonidas, (died 480 bc, Thermopylae, Locris [Greece]), Spartan king whose stand against the invading Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece is one of the enduring tales of Greek heroism, invoked throughout Western history as the epitome of bravery exhibited against overwhelming odds.
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it yet in the comments, looked through a bit and didn't see it, but Leonidas didn't actually miss his mark at all when he threw the spear at Xerxes in the end. He wasn't actually trying to kill Xerxes, which would only have left a power vacuum that could easily be filled and the war would continue with the Persian army at virtually full strength. Instead, he wanted to show Xerxes' followers that he could bleed, that he wasn't a God after all, and thus sow doubt and division within the ranks, weakening the whole army psychologically.
The wolf in the beginning is an allegory to Persia. Great filmmaking.
Such an epic movie!! In my opinion, one of Zack Snyder's best!!
His only good movie
Nice reaction. You are fun to watch a movie with, especially the action flicks.😁
thank you 🤍🤍
Don't know if you noticed some the actors in this, but you had Faramir (Boromir's brother) in LoTR, Michael Fassbender, Vincent Regan (the father who lost his son) who is in the Netflix One Piece live action show, and Lena Headey (Queen) from Game of Thrones.
12:01 I worked as a line cook at a respectable fine dining restaurant.. we had a great team with a great Chef De Cuisine.. Our Exec Chef would yell out to us "Chefs! what is our profession!" during a 10hr dinner rush, Super hot kitchen, our chef coats drenched in sweat, no lunch break, steam, flames, pots and pans flying, and we would respond back Ahhooo! Ahooo! Ahooo! lol great times.
This is death and war as ancient poets might have imagined it, glorious and provocative ... 300 is a powerhouse actioner.
As someone who grew up reading about every historical war and myth and legend from Europe, I’m always confused when people don’t know about Spartans, Persians and gladiators and Marcus Aurelius before seeing these films. Other kids were obsessed with Batman and Spider-Man. I was obsessed with historical figures. I became more accustomed to the traditions of the past, the obsession with war and killing… how women were treated and viewed. All things people find unthinkable now
As a hungarian, we learnt all of this in school... This battle in as well...
I learned about it in junior high school in a small city in Wisconsin in the 80s. I wonder what they are teaching kids these days.
@@az_atheistSame. Eighth grade for the Persian Wars. I didn’t directly know of that conflict before then but I knew Greek mythology, the Trojan War etc already when I was six. American Revolutionary War ofc.
I think only West and Iran Learned this history but as a Muslim, we also have our own 300 based on war of badar
what a beautiful reaction. This movie is so unique on the special effects and all the actors were incredible. Love those tears rolling down your face. Makes your video better :)
As always, you were so caught by the movie and your genuine tears never cease to reach my heart, great choice to ract to. If you take a suggestion make sure you watch "IMMORTALS" which is the exact same type as "300" it'll amaze you just as much as this one and is full of Mythological characters as well, I hope you enjoy it! if you decide to, take care Centane, love you
I saw this movie in 3d when it released in theaters. I was with two buddies of mine and we brought water bottles filled with vodka into the theater. We were hammered, standing up and screaming like lunatics for half the movie and most people in the theater joined us. It was epic. This was also 3 months before I joined the Marines. It hyped me up.
Sounds like quite an experience.
I loved this movie when it was realised but I think I loved your reaction even more, you seemed totally enthrolled! You also look very cute when you cry!
Weirdo comment of the day
I really enjoy your reactionns. They all come from the heart.
Saludos desde Chile!!!
That sofa under the skylight looks like such a divine place to sit and read a good book.
My favorite thing about this movie is that it exaggerated the look of the “bad guys”. From the Persians and the Immortals, to the Ephors the movie made them look like monsters the way a Sparta soldiers would do if he was telling the story.
Bcuz they took it from the comic.. real battles but with a twist of dark comic story
I read very often the same lame line. Do you think this was like the first story ever told by Greeks so they would lose sight with reality?
There was and still older stories, example Iliad with many more battles and none of the enemies were portrayed as monsters as in this version of the story.
So NO, this is not the way a Spartan soldier would tell the story since they asked "where is the enemy" and not "how many", this is how Zack Snyder decided to re-write that story.
Sad fact: If you go today to Sparta, you will find miniature soldiers replicas from those "hoplites" in the movie and not replicas of the real Spartan Hoplites.
Bettany Hughes the historian has some very interesting videos about the Spartans. The women had much more freedom & authority than other women of those times. They were very athletic too. The first woman to compete in the olympics was a Spartan.
Not to mention that it is the woman who both owns and inherits property from the man whilst the latter lives in barracks or is in campaign.
It is also said that Spartan Women are only buried with rights and tombstones if they die by childbirth which Spartans consider as a woman's battlefield.
they also trained with sword spear and shield just like the men
Hello Centane 😊👋🏻
I really like your reaction video to the movie 300 😊❤
Congratulations on the 58,000 followers of your CZcams channel, you deserve it very much 🥰💖✨🫶🏻
Thank you so much! 💓💓
It’s based- loosely, on a true story. You can still see the monument for King Leonidas & his 300 at Thermopylae.
Sparta was the most brutal yet most liberal culture in all of Greece. The Agoge, the training program for boys, not only taught them to fight and kill, but also singing(as they would sing and play music when marching)and stealth. Part of the conclusion of the training was to kill a slave without getting caught. One major thing they (understandably)omitted from the film was the education known as pederasty, which today is known as p***philia, where grown men would...ahem..spend "quality time" with the boys to teach them how to do the deed.
The women had more liberties in spartan society compared to other regions at the time, as they could also train to fight should their army fall and they would be the city's last line of defense.
In what way was Sparta the most liberal culture of Greece , apart from the women's rights ?
@@carlox1266 Well, mostly for the women's rights, which is considerable given the typical greek societal system at the time.
@@SleepySloth2705 Indeed
Faramir is such a great narrator!
25 centuries ago, and the true story of Leonidas and the 300 made the world as it is today - it deserved this movie.
the usual GREAT Reaction
thank you! 💓
Your reaction was priceless!!!
I actually watched it last night lol
You should watch movie RRR
This!
your reaction at the beginning, about the raising of the children, was f'n hilarious
Your expressions are priceless!!!! :D
The sequel to this is pretty good. Eva Green is fantastic as the Persian general Artemesia.
This is loosely based on the real story, but there are many elements in this movie which are accurate. What some people may call the brutality of spartan life was part of who they were, and just a sign of the times. In the day and age of Spartans it was might made right, and so they were trained from a young age to be strong, or perish. Because that's what was going to happen anyways.
300 is forgotten sadly in Zack talents. I saw it in theaters, the amount of fire that came out was so awesome.
God bless your pure soul, Kamilla!
All of western civilization owes a debt to these brave men.
Honestly, I'm not sure which end would have been better on the long run.
@@zoltanposfai3451 All of the middle east is fleeing to Europe and North America. Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, that's essentially the entirety of the Achaemenid borders. All fleeing.
@@zoltanposfai3451 Every region of the Achaemenid empire in modern times are now fleeing by the masses to the west.
@@rubydragon1034 And what does that have to do with 5th century BCE events? You are projecting daily politics to events 2500 years in the past.
@@zoltanposfai3451 You literally said you're not sure which would be better in the long run... The present moment, modern times is the long run. We just have to look which end did better and we can clearly see it's the west.
Thats is so sweet and funny.your reactions are better than the movie itself.
HAPPY NEW YEAR SUNSHINE ❤❤❤
The fight in the shade bit is half of a full conversation that really happened. The full quote is
Persian: our arrows will block out the sun
Spartan: the we will fight in the shade.
The last of the 300 fought to protect Leonidas' body. It was so bad of a bloodbath that Xerzez ordered for all the bodies to be buried before the reset of his army was allowed to come through.
Great reaction! :D
I love 300 , I see that movie back in the day in the Cinema was Perfect
Adapted from Frank Miller's 300 graphic novel. You might also be interested in watching "Sin City". It is another Frank Miller graphic novel that was turned into a dark, but brilliant move.
In the real fight they were more spartan then 300 but 300 did stay to hold the Persians for 3 day till all of Rome escape and they had a lot of armor the movie just wanted to make it look so epic
not sure if you saw "Game of Thrones" but the Queen in 300 was the Queen in Game of Thrones (Cersei Lannister)
Letsss gooooo 300💜💜
I love this movie because it perfectly showcases how history -- especially oral history -- transforms into myth and legend.
As old as mankind is the dream of men to go out in a blaze of glory like Leonidas and his 300!
This was my favorite movie as a kid 😂 I still love it as a 20 year old! I’m gonna have to watch it soon!!
The craziest thing about this movie is that this battle actually happened, maybe not exactly as in the movie of course, but it happened and that is really crazy. I can't imagine living in those times.
I forgot how dope this movie is
