300 and the Battle of Thermopylae

300

(i suggest watching it at apple for highest resolution possible)

wooooow. holy shit does this movie look badass as fuck. It's based on the events of the Battle of Thermopylae and jesus christ, it's a good read on the wikipedia.

quote:
The casualties on the Greek side were small: Ctesias claims that the first 10,000 Persians killed only two or three Greeks. It seemed that with regular reinforcements the Greeks could go on ad infinitum.

quote:
After their spears broke, the Spartans and Thespians kept fighting with their xiphos (short swords), and after those broke, they were said to have fought with their bare hands, teeth and nails.

quote:
Estimates from historians of the critical school stand at 20,000 Persians dead, including the elite Immortals, though Ctesias implies that Persian losses were over 50,000.

christ on a stick, how many chuck liddells could you chuck at the greeks before they died?

ad infinitum

anyways, add another film to the must see list.

The thing I hate about historical films as that they rarely follow the actual history and that alone ruins the movie for me. I doubt this one will be any different
