the *300* MOVIE turns boys into MEN!! (REACTION)

Bonjour, apologies for the low visibility in some parts of the film. The actual film was rather dark which didn't translate well with the new editing style I'm trying out. Regardless, as always, Thanks for watching

"May you live forever. " The worst thing that can happen to a Spartan. To not die gloriously in battle.

When Leonidas said, "I hope you live forever," it was his way of saying "fu** you." To Spartans, there was no higher honor than to die in battle.

The hardest dialogue exchange in history: "Spartans! Lay down your weapons!" "Persians! Come and get them!"

Leonidas didn't miss with his spear. He proved that a god-king could bleed. That's what he wanted the world to see.

A lot of those sick lines are real. Actual ancient greek bars

I was pregnant when this came out. My hubs lobbied hard to name the baby Leonidas. 😂❤

from a Greek the ''May you live forever'' means that Ephialtes(nightmare in greek) name will live forever in the minds of the future generations as a traitor. No greek has named his son Ephialtes again

- The entire story is portrayed as told by the lone survivor. It's told like many Greek epic tales... plenty of exaggeration and bravado, but the core story is real. What you see in the imagery is what the average Spartan soldier would imagine as the tale of the 300 was told to them. When the tale speaks of the wolf slain by young Leonidas, they imagine the darkest, scariest wolf ever. When it talks of exotic beasts from all across the world, they imagine them as people who've never seen these animals except in crude drawings. When the tale talks of Xerxes being tall and imposing, they imagine him standing 8 feet tall and speaking in that deep, booming voice. And of course Ephialtes... the tale talks of his deformity, and thus the imagination of the listener conjures up the worst imagery in that regard. So everything you see and hear is not the actual battle at Thermopylae... it is the hyped-up version relayed to the Spartan army at the end of the film, getting ready to face the Persians at Marathon. But the core tale is real... hundreds fighting against hundreds of thousands... and delaying the advance for days on end. The battle at Thermopylae is still taught today to military officers in war colleges. It is a valuable lesson in choosing your battles, and the use of terrain in both tactical and strategic planning.

The narrator is David Wenham, who also played Faramir in Lord of the Rings. One of the best voices in the business. 'Come back with your shield, or on it' means basically win or be carried back dead. No surrender. Is this not one of the greatest hype movies ever? Gets my blood pumping every time.

This is a "based on a true story" experience. More complicated and with better armor (the Spartans basically made primitive kevlar), this did happen. And that fight protected the seed of democracy in the world. I always feel like that part makes this movie even better....

Shields are heavy so it’s the first thing you drop as you flee. Come back with your shield or on it, means come back victorious or dead.

Just a small factoid. King Leonidas was 65 when he fought and died on that battlefield.

Always remember never forget that the one-eyed guy in the beginning was just telling a story to pump the men up.

Ephialtes still lives on a by-word for traitor much like Judas and Quisling. Just like Leonidas cursed him.

"May you live forever" is like, you better not die, for if you do, you'll sink in hell since Traitors end in the worst level of hell.

Based on a Comic that’s worth checking out too. You can see scenes and dialog taken directly from the source material. Sort of like Watchmen

300 ,kingdome of heaven , gladiator , apocalypto , the last samurai , the 13 warrior , tristan and isold , the alst duel , robin hood with gerry.

Many of the lines in this movie, like "Then we shall fight in the shade" and "Come and get them.", are taken from the "historical" accounts of the battle. In quotes because Herodotus wasn't actually there but much of his account is mostly verified from other sources. This is probably the most famous "delaying action" in history. The Spartans and Athenians held for three days until they were betrayed and the Persians flanked them using the goat path. Historical accounts of the number of Persians vary but range from about 120,000 to as many as 2.6 million. There were 300 Spartans and about 7400 other Greek forces. I can't remember the narrator's name, but he is also Faramir in Lord of the Rings.

This is quite literally one of my favorite films ever made. Nice reaction my guy.
