In order for the sequel to be in the same line as the previous one, the two must have had a lot of exchanges in private.
The quality of the film is the same as the previous one. The special effects are exquisite, the pictures are beautiful, the scenes are shocking, and the details are outstanding. It relies on slow motion and close-up to show the scenes of war and close combat, and brings the aesthetics of bloody violence to the extreme. And the savagery of human nature, it conveys all the uplifting positive energy, which makes people excited and excited.
The first plot is relatively straightforward, the story is told very smoothly, and the audience is very impressed by the legendary story of the 300 warriors. The story of this episode revolves around the timeline of the Battle of Wenquan Pass in the previous episode. It can be said that it is another branch of the story of the previous episode. The plots of these two films are somewhat different from real history, but they are not completely true to history. Let's take a look at the context of this film based on the plot of the film for the time being.
In fact, these two films are both about the Second Bohemian War. At that time, the Persian attack on Greece was mainly divided into two battlefields: one battlefield was on land, that is, the Battle of Wenquan Pass in the first movie, and the other battlefield was at sea, that is The Battle of Salamis in this episode. The Battle of Wenquan Pass will not be discussed here. For details, please watch "Spartan 300 Warriors".
At the beginning of this film, it did not directly tell the sea battle of Salamis, but explained the reason why the Persian King Cecilus attacked Greece with the help of the Queen of Sparta in the first few minutes, pulling the timeline down. By the time of the Battle of Marathon (ie the First Bohemian War) ten years ago. In that battle, Themistocles (the commander of the Athenian navy), the hero of the film, shot Cesis's father seriously with an arrow, causing him to die after returning home. This behavior of Themistocles completely ignited the anger of Cesis, coupled with the incitement of the female boss Themisia (the Persian navy commander) of the film, which completely forced Cesis into a desperate situation of revenge. Set off the second war between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states.
Knowing that Persia was about to attack Greece for the second time, Themistocles attempted to organize the Greek city-states into an alliance of resistance. At that time, the 300 warriors of Sparta had not yet gone to the hot springs. Themistocles went to Sparta, hoping that Sparta would provide Athens with ships for naval warfare, so that he could stop the Persian naval fleet in the Salamis Sea. . However, the result was not approved by the Queen of Sparta, Gogo.
After returning, Themistocles got news from his own mouth: Cesis will personally lead a team to attack Greece from the land, and send the Persian naval commander Themisia to attack from the sea at the same time. At that time, the Spartan King Leonidas (the hero of the first episode) had already led 300 warriors to the northern hot springs for defense. Following closely, Themistocles also organized a small fleet to meet Themisia in the Sea of Salamis. Although the number of ships is far less than that of the Persian navy, in the first two naval battles, the Athenian navy relied on ingenious combat tactics to defeat the Persian navy and suffered heavy casualties.
The first two naval battles made the Persian navy rout, and they had to be careful and careful layout. Finally, in the third naval battle, he used a strategy to make a complete counterattack, almost destroying the Athenian fleet, and even Themistocles was almost killed. At the same time that the Athenian navy was defeated, there was news of the fall of the Hot Springs Pass, and all 300 Spartan warriors had died heroically. Themistocles sent people to spread the news of the sacrifice of 300 warriors throughout the Greek city-states, thereby uniting everyone and vowing to wipe out the Persian navy in the fourth naval battle. Finally, with the support of the Queen of Sparta, he completely defeated the Persian navy, and Themisilei was also killed by Themistocles.
The general context is like this. In fact, the story of this episode is still very complete, but because it has to revolve around the timeline of the Battle of Wenquan Pass, the story of this episode is a bit confusing, but if you look closely, you can still understand it. of.
All in all, this is a good sequel.
