2024-12-10 10:35:17 +0000 UTCGreat reaction :) Xerxes didn't get killed in this battle in real life, so they couldn't really kill him in the movie... but I think we can see that even he thought of himself as a god, until he saw his own blood. So Leonidas' victory over him was taking away his belief in his own invulnerability, and making him fear that his slaves would realise that he was human after all. You recognised the word "Oracle" from the Matrix - Oracles in Greece were usually women like in this movie, who were often given drugs so they could "speak to the Gods" and tell your future. Really this story is an attempt to tell the true historical tale of the 300 in a way that the ancient Spartans might have told is - so the Greeks are all noble, strong and brave, and the Persians are all corrupt and deformed. Some of the lines in the movie - like "We will fight in the shade", "Only Spartan women give birth to real men" and "Come and get them" are all things that the real Spartans were meant to have said.

2024-04-04 05:06:26 +0000 UTCThe term "Hotgates" is attributed to, that in real life, there were many craters in the earth containing boiling water that emitted hot steam. The battle of Thermopylae was 200 miles north of modern Athens. Sparta was located in the southern part of Greece. Hala, this is why it was impossible for the Spartan army to travel the distance in time. It can be argued that the 300 Spartans saved Western Civilization. Had Xerces been successful in conquering Greece, he would not have stopped there. The courage and the valor of the 300 Spartans rallied Greece to victories at both Platea and Salamus, ending Xerces desire to conquer the world.

2024-04-04 02:23:31 +0000 UTCThey took over the Helot's, who were in constant rebellion in an attempt to regain their land. So, the Spartans HAD to be the best to ward off BOTH internal and any external opponent's. They developed the greatest fighting army in history. Spartan mother's had to forfeit their son's at age 7. It was the law. They trained in the army until their early to mid20's. They were even required to take dance lessons to add the element of grace to their fighting, and they were very nimble fighters. This movie displays that. Spartan women were incredibly fit, and they went through their own training, and had more freedom than other Greek women. Spartans ruled for over 300 years.

2024-04-03 20:54:14 +0000 UTCAn extraordinarily fictionalized retelling! Basically fantasy with a few historic names and themes and only the barest thread of a connection to actual history.

2024-04-03 19:41:01 +0000 UTC300 is based on the 1998 comic book series of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. The film (and the comic books) is a fictionalized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae in the Greco-Persian Wars. The Greco-Persian Wars (also often called the Persian Wars) were a series of conflicts between the Achaemenid Empire (also known as the First Persian Empire) and Greek city-states that started in 499 BC and lasted until 449 BC. Did you notice that this event was mentioned in The Last Samurai? This was followed by 300: Rise of an Empire (2014).
