[So] I just watched 300. [possible spoilers within]

Didn't Ryko or someone' sig from a while back say "I don't mean to derail threads, it just sort of happens".

I think it's like that.

I hope people don't see Spartans as some type of freedom fighters. I mean they were the cruelest slave masters around. The reason they never traveled far from their main city was because most of their population were slaves and if the army was gone, they would revolt.

The 300 fought along side 700 slaves.

And they would fuck with their slaves, like kill a couple of them for no reason, to make them so afraid of the Spartans.

Don't get me wrong, the movie looks awesome, but I get the feeling people are going to start to think the Spartans were "good guys". They weren't really, and not a couple decades later, they side with Persians to cause the downfall of Athens, one of the greatest cities of Western history.

Oh boy @ political symbolism.

They sound fucking awesome. I'd be their slave. Athens had it coming, those democractic sissies.

On a serious note, I heard the most inaccurate thing is that the movie doesn't do a very good job of explaining that theres an alliance between the Greeks and that it isn't just Sparta trying to hold the line. Like, it was Sparta along with others holding the line on the land, while Athens etc. were trying to control the sea?

Spartans were bred for military service from birth. The women were just as physically hardy as the men were. Also, it has to be nice to know you are at your peak physically as a warrior.

What's the better tagline?

Spartans - the original elitist pricks!

OR

Spartans - we're better than you, and we know it!

I'm definitely going to see this movie.

DBZ showed me that no matter how insanely powerful you become, you can always take it up to the next level within a few episodes if you have to.

You can always take it up to the next level by having a near-death experience. I hear that totally doubles your power.

If there is anything the Spartans did right, it was keeping their populas(sp?) in shape and battle ready, even the women.

This is something the incredibly obese world of today could use >_>

Just got back from watching 300. I must say it's worth every cent that I've paid for this movie.

I loved the scene on how they introduced the spartan king as a little boy and the entrance of the persian messenger. The battle scene can be said to be very well done except for a few matrix moments which seems redundant. The chopping of heads were corny though. The whole head flying up and such. The blood splattering seemed to be wierdly done. Why do people splatter more blood when they're speared instead of getting your heads chopped off.

Anyway great movie. Oh btw there's free boobies shot! :D

[Miji]

Yeah.. I forgot it came out the 9th. Guess I'll be going then. >.> Packed theatres ftw. Return of the King was packed and "The Hulk" was packed. I am sure many where disgusted by "Hulk".

Can't help myself.

The most noticeable thing I took away from the fight scenes on the previews was that spartan that tries to jump stab a Persian. All I could think to myself was, wow, could you really not have come up with something yourself? Did you really have to copy Troy?

300 is just perfecting where Troy fails....which is every part of the movie.

"Real Spartans were pretty hard core," he said. "It's like the way Spartans raise their children. They do crazy stuff — they beat on them, they make them fight. If they're not perfect, then they chuck them off cliffs. They're pretty hard core."

damn.
