After watching 300 you could watch the parody of it Meet the Spartans a 2008 parody film It's cringy but fun

[@OGJessie]

Loooooosely based on historical events.

[@KJ7JHN]

A Beautiful Mind, The Man who Knew Infinity. Both amazing shows. Les Miserables, Stigmata were also great.

[@roger5322]

It was a suicide mission from the beginning. Leonidas knew the only way to save Sparta was to sacrifice his life. If they killed the king then Sparta could go to war. Fun fact : the only ones allowed a headstone was a man who died in battle or a woman would died in childbirth.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

And that is why he mentions a beautiful death because spartan army was formed by smaller companies who were like closed clubs. One had to demonstrate bravery , skill and courage to be invited by a member to join and the best ones had the honour of seeing more active duty. As human life span is limited and age takes away strength stamina etc if failing to die in battle meant your chances were getting fewer. Therefore veterans who neared the age they no longer would be called to fight fought hardest so that more enemies would seek to fight them earning the honour of the kill of a worthy foe and getting in return a chance to die in a last battle earning that tombstone and the immortality it provided by leaving a trace of your name after death.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Why is that "fun"?

[@roger5322]

@@eatsmylifeYT and why would it not be? Learning new things should be fun. An example of a fact that isn't fun (for the most part) would be learning that Hitler reduced the world's carbon footprint.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

@@roger5322 Have you ever tried flatlining? Believe me, dying is not fun. Stop using words and phrases you don't know the meaning of.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

@@galadballcrusher8182 The Spartans treated most of their dead the same by wrapping them in a red robe with olive leaves and burying them without any sort of artifacts or headstones. ((Plutarch, Instituta Laconica, 18.)) The lack of markers has made it difficult to find Spartan graves. ((Paul Cartledge, Thermopylae: The Battle that changed the World (New York: Vintage Books, 2007), 81.))

[@vincentpuccio3689]

Their deaths united the city states into one fighting force that drove the Persian army out

[@GregoryArgiriou]

As a Greek that had been taught history intensely i must tell you that all the important things in this movie is facts. Written by the historians of the time. All the great lines you heard really happened. A few men stood and died for freedom against the largest army of the time. And they gave them hell before their death. Arthur miller who made the comic that was used frame by frame to the making of this movie decided to start it after a visit in the grave of Leonidas. In Greece, in Thermopylae (hot gates). This battle and their sacrifice is an inspiration for all Greeks for almost 2500 years.

[@khancrow7015]

Herodotus was the father of journalism, not the father of history. It is very apparent even through translations that embellishments were made.

[@GregoryArgiriou]

@@khancrow7015 In ancient Greek historians we owe all the knowledge for the era. Sorry but they were around there at the time. Not me or you.

[@khancrow7015]

@GregoryArgiriou Do you normally sound this whiney? Or is this a special occasion because you know Greeks were horrible record keepers?

[@GregoryArgiriou]

@@khancrow7015 Just an example for you. Before the discovery of ancient Troy in 1890 the whole Iliad by Homer was considered a fairy tale.

[@Nazdreg1]

@@GregoryArgiriou So you do think, the gods were fighting among men? Come on, just because there was a bronze age city in Asia Minor doesn't mean the Iliad is accurate. Saxons and Britons existed as well, but King Arthur and Camelot or even Avalon? Debatable...

[@thomasbeauchamp3781]

This is a cinematic version of a graphic novel of the actual battle of Thermopylae. So, three steps removed from reality.

[@ulyssesfilmchannel]

Great reaction. The films cinematography is styled after a previous graphic novel but the story is based on the ancient battle of Thermopylae between the Greeks and invading Persians in 480 BC.

[@jontwest]

Loved your reaction and observations about the cinematography and design etc. I also found the film very moving, because it's message reverberates in our time too - certainly here in Australia, and clearly in many other countries in recent times.

Yes ma'am it's loosely based on fact, the sequel "300 Rise of an Empire" is really good too😊

[@marleysmovies]

Il have to watch it! I loved this one!

[@GregoryArgiriou]

Check out what Wikipedia says about this battle: Around the start of the invasion, a Greek force of approximately 7,000 men led by Leonidas marched north to block the pass of Thermopylae. The Persian army, estimated by ancient authors to number in the millions, and by modern scholars to be between 120,000 and 300,000 soldiers, arrived at Thermopylae by late August or early September. During two full days of battle, the Greeks blocked the only road by which the massive Persian army could traverse the narrow pass. After the second day, a local resident named Ephialtes revealed to the Persians the existence of a path leading behind the Greek lines. Subsequently, Leonidas, aware that his force was being outflanked by the Persians, dismissed the bulk of the Greek army and remained to guard their retreat along with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians. It has been reported that others also remained, including up to 900 helots and 400 Thebans. With the exception of the Thebans, most of whom reportedly surrendered, the Greeks fought the Persians to the death in one of history's most famous last stands.

[@MelaniePoparad]

The scene when theron assaults cerci is one of the more disturbing scenes in this movie. Makes me a little nauseous. There is a lot of weird stuff in this movie. But that scene just reaches some visceral hatred in most people. Great reaction.

[@anonymous-qc3sy]

Reality is frightening. When another country invades,men go to war willing to die so that bad things don't happen to their wives and children. That's why every country needs an army. Look at Ukraine now. Ukrainian men are dying by the thousands in the battlefield and Ukrainian women are intact back home or in other countries they fled to .all men are banned from leaving the country. It's stay here and possibly die in the battlefield for them. Like the Titanic,where the men were also forced to stay in the boat and die,this movie shows there's not a lot of "male privilege" when shit gets serious

[@longfootbuddy]

it is based on a true story, but in the real story, there was 301.. there was a midget spartan in the center of the front row, that was known as nutbiter

[@roger5322]

" Molon Labe"

[@G.J-wt3nx]

Spartan men were known for poetry and dancing before Leonidas. The stories about their military and cruel society were mainly propaganda from Athens in order to gain favour from the other Greek states as Sparta grew in popularity. Athens even sought out financial support from Persia in their later conflicts with Sparta.

[@dx63]

The greek and especially the Spartan's was the most famous mercenaries at tha times. The Egyptian, the Carthaginians they used greek advisors and mercenaries. Even the Persian's after the greek- persian war's.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Weren't they also fond of male-on-male sex?

Next Reaction film Troy (2004) Spartan vs Troy 👍👍

its the battle of thermopylae

This film remember me! The actual WAR in Ukraine 🇺🇦 50 Nations VS 1 Russia🇷🇺🦾

[@ccgzh]

For all who dont understand why the Wolf looks like that and the Elephants are so huge and freaky Creatures apear, it's because you just listining to the Story that Spartan tells you and imagine you live there in Greece at that Time, you never saw an Elephant or Rhino before.

[@MelaniePoparad]

I am new to your channel but i did a cursory look through your movie reactions… you need something funny and less tear-jerking. I recommend “pitch perfect”, “dodgeball” and “anchorman” if you haven’t seen those yet. Also, “the proposal” is hilarious.

[@marleysmovies]

Yeah I agree! I will be looking to do more comedy and lighthearted stuff soon! Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@MelaniePoparad]

@@marleysmoviesGreat! I love to see a variety of genres… except horror. I can watch horror. But i enjoyed your reaction and would love to see you not sad. 😀

The Battle of Thermopylae Can easily be found on the Internet or in a good Old fashion book do you want the story look it up?

[@DestinyAwaits19]

300 has the best logo intro to any movie I've ever seen. The WB logo looks like its carved out of a gold block, and the lightning and thunder behind it in the background. Just awesome.

[@russellwood8750]

Much of this film is based on historical events. I love showing this to feminist. Women who said men have had it throughout history sure looks that way right

[@andremarks4624]

Yes, it was a famous battle. They say it was 300 vs a million but it more like over 300,000 or so.

[@TrCic]

Do V for Vendetta PLEASE!! 😀👍

[@Bukoe]

Watching woman react to War movies is amazing... 100000 Men gets killed, arms and legs cut off minor reaction.. 1 horse gets hit with anything bigger than a Rock And woman are like OHH NOO NOT THE HORSE poor horse .. Then 1 guy have a birth defect and you feel sorry for him.. Anyway I love this movie My take on the 300 story is that it was probably one of the first time a small Grupe of extreme well organized warriors faced a large Grupe of slaves that had already lost everything they cared for.. I think that's how the Myth of this story happened as it must have been a slaughter.. In reality we should have felt sorry for the enemy soldiers in this story their homes and family's are all gone.. But epiq movie non the less ..=)

[@6Grimmjow]

It's understandable. The horses and other animals are by definition innocent. Obviously, some of the men are as well, while some are driven by hatred/greed/etc., but the audience has no way to distinguish. And it seems natural to me to feel sorry for Ephialtes, at least in the beginning.

[@xristosmiaoulis447]

It's base on a Frank Miller Graphic Novel that's loosely based on True events. :)

[@marleysmovies]

Oooh ok thanks!!! ☺️

[@dx63]

About the selection of babies it's doesn't be true. The king agesilaus was sort and lame. The Leonidas was one of the two kigs of Sparta. The sparta have always two king's, one go to war and one stay back to roll. An leonidas at the time of battle was 60 years old. The efors was like American Congress and selected from apela the parliament to control the king's.

As exaggerated and grandiose this movie is, the one-liners, quips and comebacks are mostly true, actual hostorical quotes from different Spartans that were recorded through history.. "Only Spartan women give birth to real men"... "Then we will fight in the shade"... "I broght more soldiers than you did"...

[@williambranch4283]

Enter the Army at 6, stay in until retirement decades later.

[@vincentpuccio3689]

There was a movie called the 300 Spartans. Terrible movie but accurate whereas this movie is a fantasy version of a true story.

[@johnkimble4119]

The events of the movie were depicted through the eyes of the narrator at the start and end. Hense why he coloured the story with monstrous persians etc.How the hell did you not understand that.

YES BASED IN THE TERMOPILAS BATTLE AND THE END (10000 SPARTANS) IN THE PLATEA BATTLE

[@hiromasa479]

進撃の巨人

[@masastronomia5247]

Sí. Se trata de un evento real. La batalla de las Termópilas. Aunque no eran solo 300. Y muchos detalles históricos son incorrectos. Aunque la premisa se mantiene. Eran pocos contra muchos. Sabían que marchaban a la muerte, pero contaban con acabar menguando al ejército persa en el pasaje de las Termópilas, lo suficiente para evitar que avanzaran sobre toda Grecia. Y que perdieron su ventaja por culpa de Efialtes.

[@williamberry9013]

A bit of history. It was not a storm that prevented the Persins from just sailing around, it was the Athenian navy. Of course, aSpartan would never admit the Athenians did anything praiseworthy. That and there were never any war rhinos. :) (This is based on a comic book.)(OK, a graphic novel, whick is an expensive comic book.)

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

The entirety of the visuals are in the minds of those who heard the tale--so yes, exaggerated and fantastical like legends are. The word "Epic" exactly applies, as a heroic tale or song (Epos is the Greek root) heard over again.

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Yes this is a true story. The Battle of Thermopylae was an inspiration for many other battles and the origin of the Greek moto "Molon Labe" (Come and take it). In the Texas revolution against Mexico, The Mexican Army tried to confiscate a cannon owned by the town of Gonzales. The Texans made a flag with a single star and siloette of a cannon and the words "Come and Take it". A reference to a battle of lop-sided odds against a superior force. And they won.

FOR TONIGHT ..we DINE IN HELL!! Sounds cool .. but the battle took place 480 B.C. .. So the whole scam concept of Hell and Heaven wasnt invented yet.. but its a cool MOVEY °!! 8)

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

In ancient Greek mythology the dead entered Hades (the Underworld) where they were split into two camps. Elysium (heaven) for the honored dead and Tartarus (hell) for sinners. Not that different then the Christian version of of the afterlife. Pretty much every civilization across the globe had some version of Hell.

[@harryshriver6223]

A really gory movie but completely historically inaccurate, however you got to love the scenes when the battle starts and when the queen stabs the traitor! ❤ I think if everybody who committed sexual assault had this done to them it would be a problem that would cease to exist in our society! I do like the quote, give them nothing and take from them everything! Yes this was an actual battle the Battle of Thermopylae.

[@bobdupre3721]

another zack movie sucker punch

[@harryrabbit2870]

Let's be real here. "300" is based on a COMIC BOOK. The defense at Thermopylae was a real event BUT the Spartans actually had another 3000 to 4000 troops with them, mostly from Spartan client states. They did NOT fight bare-chested; nobody in their right minds would have done so in this era. The Immortals weren't monsters. They were called "Immortal" because when one died, he was immediately replaced. They did NOT practice infanticide as it is shown here. They were NOT a democratic state. The Spartans were an oligarchy that owned SLAVES. This is a fantasy film VERY loosely based on a historic event and badly at that. If you enjoyed it, great but don't confuse this with real events.

[@montvilleo]

I think they actually did commit infanticide

[@johnkimble4119]
