300 Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to 300!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Years before Zack Snyder began sculpting the DC Extended Universe with Man of Steel and Batman V Superman, he made a name for himself with a Dawn of the Dead remake- but really hit the mainstream with his intensely stylistic Frank Miller graphic novel adaptation 300.
300 is a very cool-looking movie, but definitely raises a lot of questions. Like what’s up with that giant hole? If it’s the city’s well, why did King Leonidas just murder a bunch of people in the drinking water? Why are the Spartans obsessed about not kneeling, when they all kneel to Leonidas, who kneels to some guys with weird skin? Could Leonidas really have not found ANY use for Ephialtes even though he couldn’t raise his shield? Why did Dilios decide to tell the troops about a musical goat? How many ABS are in this movie?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to 300! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Interestingly, the whole thing with raising the height of the shield, while seemingly irrelevant in the film, as those guys fight on their own in the movie, was very important in actual historical Greek combat. They ALWAYS and ONLY fought in the Phalanx formation, so being able to defend the guy next to you with your shield was what it was all about. The film doesn’t portray that, though...

[@lucideandre]

@Isaac Mounce yeah, but then they break it up and fight one on one. Which looks more interesting in film, but is entirely antithetical to how Greeks actually did combat. Now, I’m not saying that’s necessarily bad. It’s not a film made to be historically accurate (and it isn’t in any way whatsoever). It’s meant to look good, and it does that. But it is funny that they say that, and then don’t do it.
