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
300:rise of an empire is great sequel as well. It tells the other half of the story. Most of the dialogue in this film comes from the history of that time. including "fight in the shade"
BEST man movie ! Best lines ever !
Can't see a damn thing it's so fuzzy, might as well play footage of traffic.
"May you live forever. " The worst thing that can happen to a Spartan. To not die gloriously in battle.
Xerxes god king 🤴🏾 forever
so, Kratos?
@@commandingsteel true lmao
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.
There is more to that
In ancient Greece "Υστεροφημία" ( Ysterofimia ) meaning " The fame after death " was VERY important
So Leonidas curses Ephialtes to live forever in BAD name ( forever known as the traitor )
( Not ONE Greek has the name Ephialtes ) it is a shame to have this name
it also is the word for Nightmare in Greek
So he lives in shame for all eternity.
To add to that: even today in Greece, when someone passes away who through his acts of bravery self-sacrificed for the greater good we don't offer the family condolences. We say Αθάνατος (Athanatos), which translates to immortal.
Ephialtes did live forever today, known in history as a traitor... the other meaning to that quote
9:20 Carneia is one of the important tribal festivals Sparta celebrates for Apollo.
The Ephors (deformed guys) don't want Leonidas to march the spartan army to fight while this holiday is going on.
A lot of those sick lines are real. Actual ancient greek bars
The Spartans were so well known for short replies (with zest) that we still have a word for that type of speaking in English - Laconic.
Laconia is the Greek name for the land on which Sparta lies.
Some famous Spartan one-liners (you probably know, but perhaps other do not).
1. Philip of Macedon (father of Alexander the Great) - "Should I come to Sparta as friend or foe?"
Spartan reply - "Neither."
2. Philip again - If I conquer Sparta, I will kill the men and enslave the women.
Spartan reply - "If."
Lastly, 2 gangster Spartan sayings - "Spartans do not ask how many are the enemy but where are they.”
“He who sweats more in training bleeds less in war.”
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.
"300: Rise of an Empire", which is set before, during and after Thermopylae shows Xerxes carrying a scar on his face after the battle. If Leonidas had killed him, the Persians would probably have spin-doctored the story that Xerxes had ascended to the heavens, but leaving a scar stripped away the aura of divinity showing he's just a man after all.
God king 🤴🏾 xerxes showed what happens to those who dare challenge him
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
Also Ephialtes in Greek means nightmare
Yes..like a curse... someone who says "may your life be interesting" is not hoping that person has fun...so likewise "may you live forever" is meant as a curse...
🌿🌿🌿
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.
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.
Oh shit I never realized that was faramir, that's awesome.
his voice is really something, for years now i have hoped that he'll narrate lotr trilogy, but alas, he's narrated only 3 books so far but i'm not into them
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.
Always remember never forget that the one-eyed guy in the beginning was just telling a story to pump the men up.
- 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.
This adds a whole new perspective to the film which makes the ending all that much better
Plataie, not Marathon. Πλαταιές..η μάχη των Πλαταιών, όχι Μαραθωνας
The Battle of Marathon was before the events of this film. The leader of the Persian army at the time was Darius I, who was Xerxes' father.
The final battle at the end of the film was at Plataea. Even Dilios (the narrator) refers to it as, "here, on this ragged patch of earth called Plataea, Xerxes hordes face obliteration!"
Everything else you said was spot freaking on! 🤘🏼
bruv no sane teacher of modern warfare tactics teaches this, maybe in a military history class? it's not that it was a bad tactics it's just not applicable in modern wars
@@Mrfailstandstil - I don't know what a "bruv" is... but EVERY sane teacher of modern warfare teaches you that choosing where and when to fight is of utmost importance. If you can pick the right terrain, it is a force multiplier.
Disagree all you want, you're just plain wrong if you think that lesson is relegated to the history classes.
I was pregnant when this came out. My hubs lobbied hard to name the baby Leonidas. 😂❤
i assume you didn't? but it's a fairly common name in Slavic countries though it's spelled Leonid not Leonidas
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....
Dilios mentions “Free Greek” quite a lot during his speeches and commentary. Preserving that idea of being free from rule or oppression was key
Just a small factoid. King Leonidas was 65 when he fought and died on that battlefield.
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.

Listed all of these Down as I’ve seen non. Thanks
@@Kay-Pee oh wow you are in for some real cinema.
@@Kay-Pee Also .. City of God
It is about Brazil but worth watching
Braveheart too, maybe?
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
Love this movie, some of the hardest lines ever. Also i believe its based on real events but obviously exaggerated a bit.
Many of the quotes in the movie were factually made by the Spartans. Translated from the writing of Herodotus: Persian commander: "Our arrows will block out the sun!"
Spartan reply: "Then we will fight in the shade." and Persian commander's demand "lay down your weapons." The Spartans responded: "Come and take them!"
This is quite literally one of my favorite films ever made. Nice reaction my guy.
I appreciate that you "corrected " your Star Wars quote for all the nerds in the comment section. 😂😂
Its funny u mentioned running a marathon, since the origin of that is kinda "incorporated" in this story. After a victory of the Greeks, a messenger ran from those fields (the Fields of Marathon) to Athens to announce the Greek Victory against the persians and it is said the distance was 42 km. Now, its not quite a historical documented fact, some historians proclaim that the marathon comes from the same messenger that ran all the way from Athens to Sparta to call for aid when first the persians invaded (240 km distance and its also held today as a race called "Spartathlon") and the spartans at first said simply: "No".
You should check out the actors training routine for this movie… it was brutal
Scrolled the comments a bit n' didn't find it, so here it is : "Come back with your shield or on it" means : Come back victorious or dead. Ditching your shield means you've run away and shed the weight of the heavy shield to run faster, the greatest dishonour imaginable for a Spartan.
You either win, or die standing with your shield, there is no middle ground.
One of Zack Snyder's masterpieces.....Zack Snyder also master of DC comics movies like Man of Steel, Batman VS Superman, Justice League and the Watchmen
If you come back without a shield it means you tossed it as you were running away.
Thanks for adding this. It seems to be lost in the comments.
may you live forever was the greatest dishonor a spartan could be told, at that moment he recognized him as a spartan whilst damning him at the same time
So happy Rodrigo Santoro is popping up more often now 🇧🇷
"Come back with your shield or on it" means come home carrying your shield or your body delivered carried on it. The Greek shields were about 3 ft in diameter and could be used to carry a body off the battlefield.
It also alludes to the the fact that since the shields were heavy, people who ran from the battle often dropped their shields in an effort to get away faster.
Thx for this great Reaction , Your Energy is infectious 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
The Spartan phalanx: Push, stab, step, repeat.
KP, my man! Seen this flick a million times and watching your reaction YOU got me pumped up again for this! It is a great film! "Aaaa-hoooooo!" =;-D
It's so good!
Although I did enjoy watching the movie🎥300 in the Theater when it came out, I did understand that the movie maker's took a lot of liberties with the actual facts of the history of Leonidas, Xerxes and the actual battle of Thermopolyie!🏛 Actually it was Xerxes, as a young Prince, that had to fight a Lion🦁 in a cell with a Spear, in order to pass his Manhood test to become a King of Persia! Leonidas became the King of Sparta by marrying the Kings daughter! Also the brave, fierce 300 Spartans were only able to make their legendary and glorious last stand at Thermopolyie, because of the success and ingenuity of the Greek Navel Commander Themystacles, who through his navel victories over the Persians, allowed for Leonidas and his 300 Spartans to amass at Thermopolyie without Persian blockades enroute!
A lot of the crazy creatures and stuff are considered to be how they perceived the vast cultural diversity of armies Persia had. Literally people and armies they’d never encountered or knew about before. Definitely not realistic but effective
"Molon labe" in Ancient Greek, translates to "Come and Take (Them)". This is a historical quote used in military and law enforcement patches. Also Americans against a corrupt government "2nd amendment".
Dominic West is a great actor he plays the bad guy in John Carter
One of the best reactions ever
Straight 🔥 bruv
Great reaction bro, new sub.
At 16 when this came out.. I took myself to see this in the theaters 6 times.. It's still my favorite movie of all time.. Everything it stands for plus how it was made and all of the dialog
Carved in stone at the actual location "Parser by tell Sparta, that by Spartan law we lye,!" In Greek of course 😊
To this day, “Efialtes” is the word for “nightmare”
come back with your shield or on it basically means win or die gloriously.
11:49 most of the times there was the mother saying that to her son every time he leave for war "come winner on your feet carry you shield or on it "the way spartans carry their deads" in other words win or die trying 19:30 No arrows in the spartan army they believed it was a weapon for cowards because you can kill an enemy from a distance and not in fron of his face, imagine their opinion if they see us today with modern weapons. 😁
Live forever also means: live with your shame to the end of the world, Let the knowledge that you have betrayed your own people haunt you forever, the worst spartan curse.
You said " Marathon" which is another Greek Term that comes down to us from a Greek Victory against the Persians! I have been to Thermopoly "The Hot Gates" Leonidas Words are carved in Stone!
Marathon is the Greek coastal city where the other great war later occurred and when it was won in Marathon, Pheidippides the famous ancient Greek soldier ran by foot all the way to Athens to inform them that the Greeks had won, shouting "nenikikamen" (ancient greek for: we won) and died from exhaustion shortly after. Hence the famous marathon race everyone runs. The original marathon race in Greece follows the same path he took from start to finish.
Sure enjoyed your reaction
I love this movie
👵🏻👍🏻
What this film does is capture the mentality and the historical sequence of this part of the history of the Spartans. Their philosophy of life and death, their values, their educational ethics and how they were raised, the importance of women and their war strategies & tactics. There is a famous saying that Greeks still use in contemporary Greek and it derives straight from Leonida's era. "Come back holding your shield or on it" ( Ή ταν ή επί τας). Meaning alive or with the honour of falling in battle cause they would carry them back home on their shields.
This movie is based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, who also wrote "Sin City", highly recommend to react to movie adapations of this: "Sin City", " Sin City: a Dame to Kill for", as well as the sequel to this masterpiece "300: the Rise of the Empire".
And we still remember you.
Most dont know that 300 is based on a graphic novel, thats where the visual design comes from. The actual Spartans obviously wore full armor. At the real Battle of Thermopylae There were also 200 Thespians who fought and died alongside the Spartans. The Thespians had drip, all black armor, shields, and cloaks.
The Spartan infantry was the most armored of the Greek world were tanks carried about 27 k of equipment, the fact that they are bare-chested makes no sense, but so it was in the comic book XD
Not a big fan of how you showed the footage with that weird effect, but I've seen the movie so many times that it doesn't really matter. I really enjoyed your commentary though.
The narrator is David Wenham, who also played "Farimir" in the Lord of the Rings movies and Hugh Jackman's sidekick in Van Helsing.
And to think...while this is a cinematic interpretation, it's based on a real battle that happened and protected greek culture that our western civilization is founded on.
It’s crazy one Greek historian said when the Persians looked upon the Spartans they were combing their hair and doing pushups 😂😂 fkin perfect
7:45 apparently, he is Scottish in real life. 8:07-8:09 this is Sparta! 27:48 poor 🐘.
This was a historical event. Xerxes lead an army between 100k and 300k strong against Sparta. At a narrow pass at Thermopylae, 300 Spartans (+7,000 other Greeks from neighboring states) held them back for several days. The Persians had short swords, wicker shields and no other armor. Spartans were extremely heavy infantry with spears, metal armor, full size metal shields covering from neck to ankle. They made a stabbing "death wall" that went thru the Persians like a rock thru paper.
There was a just as one-sided naval battle going on that was even more impactful against the Persians. At one point, a storm sank half their ships too(seen very briefly in the movie) Eventually the Persians broke thru, sailed around behind the 300, killed them all and matched on Sparta. The Spartan army put up such a fight that the Xerxes basically gave up and went home. Other than the main events tho, 75% of this movie never happened.
This is inaccurate in so many ways that I don't have the energy to refute them all.
This film is like steroids, gives you more testosterone than anything 😂I get goosebumps everytime whatever and whenever someone says something. Every Quote and dialogue (don't forget the music and the shots) in this film is so Epic and leaves you hyped up and makes You wanna get up from the fu***ing chair and go with Spartans to battle.
As another comment mentioned in part;
The Spartan state was *not really* the epic warrior city state history thinks it is. They had some ideas that made them revolutionary, but some others that made them completely ass-backwards compared to the other city states (like their rival Athens). Here is an excerpt that summarizes sparta very well;
*"The Spartans were at best tactically and strategically uncreative. Tactically, Sparta employed the phalanx, a close-order shield and spear formation. But while elements of the hoplite phalanx are often presented in popular culture as uniquely Spartan, the formation and its equipment were common among the Greeks from at least the early fifth century, if not earlier. And beyond the phalanx, the Spartans were not innovators, slow to experiment with new tactics, combined arms, and naval operations. Instead, Spartan leaders consistently tried to solve their military problems with pitched hoplite battles."*
So, this is a major reason why they fared so well in this, deservedly so, epic historical battle. But in the real story, they were assisted by a total of 6,500 other greek city-state fighters, mostly from Thebes & Thespiae. Then you have the other stuff that was left out of the movie;
*"The agoge, Sparta’s rearing system for citizen boys, frequently represented in popular culture as akin to an intense military bootcamp, in fact included no arms training or military drills and was primarily designed to instill obedience and conformity rather than skill at arms or tactics. In order to instill that obedience, the older boys were encouraged to police the younger boys with violence, with the result that even in adulthood Spartan citizens were liable to settle disputes with their fists, a tendency that predictably made them poor diplomats."*
Sparta rarely got along with other city states and eventually got absorbed into the greater Archaean league around ~200 B.C, making them, by comparison, a pretty shitty state, beyond all the slaving and warmongering. But they did shine in a couple of aspects, mainly the status of women and the power they held in Spartan society. And people like to downplay their fighting prowess, which might not have been ambitious or innovative. But what they did know they knew *very well*, which I think this movie showcases to great extent.
All in all, this movie doesn't try to tell an accurate or historical re-telling of what actually happened. This is basically a propaganda piece from the eyes(eye) of the lone surviving Spartan telling the rest of what happened at Thermopylae. And it's awesome lol, despite the actual Sparta kind of sucking ass.
In reality, they were called "The Immortal's" because if you managed to kill one of them, 2 new would take his place.
Besides not dying in battle, “may you live forever” also means the traitor will live forever in stories, as a traitor to Sparta.
34:32 The word you might be looking for is "Testudo", though that's usually done with a rectangular shield called Scutum.
FYI. KING LEONIDUS was killed early in the actual battle. The Spartans had to retrieve his body. It was the spartan & Greek navy that ended up pushing back the Persian army. Which would eventually give way to one of the greatest military leaders to date. ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
Great reaction. I stayed with you to the end. Please watch Rise of Empire: 300 next
My grandfather used to tell us this as a bed time story. Then it was covered in class the benefits of a clasdic education- but honestly nothing is like this movie.
So visually stunning.
The dialog.
I feel like a pumped little kid ready to take on thevworld everytime I watch this.
And GB is yummy
..
Η τάν Ή επι τάς (in Greek) ( Ee tan ee aepee tas )
=
With your shield or on your shield
=
A Spartan saying that means come back dead ( carried on the shield dead ) or alive ( shield in hand ) but do NOT come back without your shield
( Returning alive with NO shield = Abandoned the battle = Not accepted back in Spartan society )
The Greek flag has 9 stripes of White and Blue
The Blue stripes on the flag are 5 that mean these 5 words
Ή (1) τάν (2) ή (3) επί (4) τάς (5) - With shield or on shield (5 words-5 blue stripes)
The 4 White stripes symbolize the foam of the waves hitting the sand
All 9 stripes (white and blue together) stand for the 9 syllables in the phrase "Freedom or Death" ( in Greek- Ε-λευ-θερ-ί-α -ή- θά-να-τος )
The Cross is for Christianity
So the Greek flag means
-With Shield or on Shield
-Freedom or Death
-Christian Cross
-The foam of a wave crashing on the sand
Now the movie got wrong some things
Spartan kids had to chase and kill a HUMAN SLAVE to pass the rite NOT a wolf
Spartans released some Helots ( Helots ( Είλωτες) = Slaves in Spartan society- the lowest of the caste-had no rights at all )
And then the Spartan kids had to chase them and come back with the head of a slave .. .. .......
Persians were not ORCS they were a VERY technologically ADVANCED society at that time.
Persians probably looked majestic. Not monster-like....
Ephialtes was probably a regular looking person and not a hunchback freak
.. but it is a movie ... maybe 60% close to reality .. not more ...
Also "Ephialtes" ( Εφιάλτης ) in Greek actually means Nightmare
We say we saw an Ephialte when we see a nightmare in our sleep
In ancient Greece "Υστεροφημία" ( Ysterofimia ) meaning " The fame after death " ( the legacy you leave behind ) was VERY VERY important
So Leonidas curses Ephialtes to live forever in BAD name
( forever known as the traitor ) ..
nobody was named Ephialtes ever again
there is not one Greek with that name it would be a big shame to have this name ..
....because of that traitor .. ..
.... 😶😶 ..
Now do part 2 you won’t be disappointed
Come back with your shield or on it. Means don’t retreat. When men retreat they drop their shields for speed. With your shield means you won, on it means you were dead or gravely wounded and needed to be carried.
Hey I’m definitely going to be a subscriber. I realize the copyright issues. Is there anyway you can give the viewers a little more to watch to follow to e movie. Thanks
The reason why the persians seemed deformed and monster like is because the story is being told by that one Spartan. He's telling an exaggerated story to inspire as propaganda.
cool
The Persian king and his army was so scared of Leonidas that theyd rather shoot him with all those arrows than try to face him (even in his condition with every spartan dead)
You obviously enjoyed this movie, I highly recommend Sin City... also based on a Frank Miller graphic novel. Amazing.
The one with Bruce Willis? Noted. I’ll check it out
Leonidas did good considering he was never in line to be king, massive fan from the uk also brother loving all the content.
Not accurate, Leonidas was one of the two kings of Sparta. If you will recall, the oracle stated that one of the kings of Sparta must die for the Greeks to be victorious. One of them did die.
@@sjohnson4882 wait your going on the movie logic…..
Keep it up, man. You are one of the most knowledgeable and insightful reactors out there.
AHAHAH The fernanfloo meme HAHAHAH
Lmfao did you just compare black people to spartans ? Great reaction keep going bro 💪🏻

Bro where is your reaction to the second film 🏴🤷🏻♂️🙏🏻
efialths in greek is the word nightmare.
I had emerald
it was e realy Massacre for the persians!!! at the place where the battle took place they stiil find bones!!
the greatest gay bisexual army ever!!
Too much talking.
Let the story unfold as intended with open eyes, open ears, open mind.
A closed mouth means you’re paying attention to the artistry being delivered, because silence is golden (sign of respectfulness).
Reacting doesn’t require words, it will be on your face and in your body language.
Save the thoughts, questions, opinions and discussions until after the final curtain (scene).
Just a suggestion because the number one thought going through my head during this reaction was Stop Interrupting!
So here I am turning around in my seat to throw daggers and a SHHHHH your way; I’m trying to watch a movie here.
THIS IS THEATER! (Kick)
the
He is Scottish lol.
Dilios, the narrator was seen as coward cause he left the battlefield. He died during the battle at the end of the movie after charging in like a berseker, possibly killing dozens of persians before getting overwhelmed
OV too translucent.
300 years ago? Are you daft? Try 2504 years ago. Based on events in 480 BC. Leonidas was a real person. Geez.
so no reaction . its all about you, sad
