First Battle Scene | 300 (2006) Gerard Butler, Movie CLIP HD 

It’s hilariously lame.

​@@footrot17nah. Its awesome

​@@footrot17 I like the part where the Scottish guy pretending to be a Greek guy says that thing to all the white guys and they all go AH OOH cos that's what Latin people do

Damn you went from 40% to 50% in a movie theatre?!

@@YiNephu He ate all the persians. He still got away cheap if you think about it.

I see this quote all over the web nowadays. Is it some tiktok thing? You a bot?

Achilles to Agamennon in the movie ''Troy''

Theoden, King of Rohan

Alexander the great

Best part of the entire sequence! That shield bash was as brutal as it gets.

Which makes no sense for Leonidas to deny the offer from the disabled man earlier, he said every man is crucial for his allies in the line, but he can just put him in back doing the thing you said, hence he wont get betrayed

@@Personnoname114 nah because if things went bad and their formation was threatened, they'd need every man ready to get right into the thick of it. The disabled man would've been useless in a situation like that

In the Bible the same tactic was used by Jonathan and his armor bear when going up against a philistine outpost filled with 20 enemies. You can read it in 1 samuel

​@@danielpickrell8311 ya know ya stuff

@@Personnoname114 In fact, in reality, or at least in legend, the traitor plows neither a disabled person, nor anyone who had known Loenida. Simply many Greeks were in the Persian Empire (which unlike what was shown in the film, had loyal subjects because it was a magnanimous empire that allowed freedom and rights).

True, although in reality they wouldn't break formation and leave the cliff pass, that was their most advantageous position.

They simply have the benefit of defending a narrow position. Indeed, if taken from behind, there is no winning tactic. And yes, even children and animals know that if you have three sides covered, you're ahead of the game.

This movie already had the script written from the comics. Rebel moon he had to write his own stuff and it showed

I liked Rebel Moon, of course it could be better. I do agree Zack Snyder shouldn't be writing movies.

@@pnut3844able Yeah I dunno why he doesn't just hire a good writer, he's incredibly talented when it comes to effects and directing, but writing is clearly not his forte

probably just means it was a fluke

@@pnut3844able Ehh, his work in DC also was written from the comics...

Snyder simply had to copy a comic. Story, dialogues and even the scenes are not his

The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the most important battles in Greek and world history. Above all, from a moral point of view, it is a brilliant example of self-denial, self-sacrifice and obedience to the country. The battle demonstrated the advantages of the Spartans' military training, better equipment, and clever use of terrain. Conveniently your forgot to mention that after the two days, Efilatis the traitor, lead the Persian army to the back of the Greek forces and that's how they lost. Athens never become a colony of Iran because a) Iran didn't exist back then, b) the Persian army found the city empty and they burned it to the ground out of spite. There was nothing to colonise. No people, no buildings. Later on, the Athenians came back and rebuilt the city after they won the battle of Salamina, where Persians suffered a significant loss. After the battle of Plateon, and the battle of Mekales the Persians were severely defeated by the Greeks and returned back to their caves. In general, according to history and not fantasy, Persians failed tragically in their attempt to conquer Greece. Greeks freed all the Greek cities in the Asia Minor coast. Xerxes, was a lunatic. His engineers built bridges to pass the Hellespont but they were destroyed by a sea storm. Xerxes had his engineers beheaded and made his army to whip the sea and commanded to shackle it because it didn't obey to his orders, by throwing chains in it. He led his empire to extinction out of spite, beheading everyone near him after his massive failure to conquer Greece. He even beheaded close relatives. He lost his mind completely and finally he perished by the hands of his own people who had enough of his madness and failure. Later on, Alexander the Great, colonised Persia and had his soldiers marrying Persian women, but not the other way around. There is a tribe, Kalash, that they believe they are descendants of Alexander the Great. His expedition brought the rightful end of the Persian empire. That's history. Not fantasy. Persians tried to bring darkness to the world, but thanks to the Greeks they failed miserably.

You have selected 300! If that's correct, say yes!

@@whynotlin7998 hey you know why Rhiannon Leigh wryn don’t act anymore in movies or tv series ? If you know tell me please gives

Thanks for this insight.

I understand that but also considering the sheer numbers of the Persians at that point compared to the 300 Spartans and the 6700 other Greek allies who made their stand, not wearing armor would be an awful choice in this scenario. Plus, come on, the armor looks *way* cooler than them being nearly butt naked if we're going by the rule of cool.

​@praetorian9823 I dunno bro, Lotta pottery had neked buff greek hoplites, an that's one of our main sources of evidence! I understand your point though, the armor sick AF! And the front line probably wore it. The reservist in the back though...

@ryanhendrickson6012 good point. To be fair, though, a ton of stuff gets overexaggerated both ways. Even with regards to the Spartans, as far as I recall, after Rome conquered them, their training regiments got way more brutal than they originally were as an independent nation to try and sell how tough they were. Don't get me wrong, Spartan training was obviously still insane, but they added a lot more brutality to try and make it seem like it was nearly impossible to beat a Spartan.

🤣😂 keep convincing yourself by lies

Wow who would have thought that a movie exaggerated details to make it more interesting. Like no one gives a fuck

Dude, what? This war was 1 year long, roughly. Yes, the Persians marched in and burned Athens. But a months later, the entire Persian navy was destroyed at Salamis. Almost exactly a year to the day the Greeks utterly annihilated the Persian army at Plataea. In terms of ancient wars, thus was an absolute fucking blowout in favor if the Greeks. The Persian Empire wouldn't be able to project power again for 2 centuries.

Less restrictive, this allowed for faster and free flowing movement when fighting.

@@robertparker3489 Fine when fist fighting - but in the middle of a storm of steel ...? Most movies have battle scenes without helmets - so that we can admire the actors hairstyles. At least these guys keep their helmets on - if little else.

They wouldn't and didn't in reality. They wore bronze breastplates weighing about 50 to 60 pounds.

@@m-h1217 Thank you. I suspected some level of plate armour, to stop each & every thrust from being deadly! So this is just homoerotic fantasy on the part of the director? Was this a Freudian slip - or a keen calculation that the fanbase for homoeroticism was bigger than anyone had measured?

@@imankhandaker6103 The movie was based on the comic by the same title.

You are very right about everything except the width of the pass. At the most narrow section it's estimated to have been 15 meters (50 feet) wide.

@@m-h1217 I've just had a re-read of the battle and you're right! I never realised it was that narrow and some reports state that the Greeks had more men than they needed for the width and were able to move units in and out of the line to rest them. What is amazing these days is that the spot where (in the film) the Spartans watched the Persian fleet being destroyed by the storm now looks out over a green plain - the sea having retreated some miles further out due to the bay getting full of sediment and drying out!
