when 300 warriors met the reinforcements of Thebes midway. King Leonidas laughed at the reinforcements, despite the large number of people, but a mob, and the 300 warriors of Sparta were indeed brave and proficient professional fighters. Maybe the audience will be shocked by this plot. But in fact, as the opening of the movie said, the Spartans organized the entire country like a military camp. The sickly babies were abandoned in the wilderness and waited to die. Only well-established babies could be raised. The boys lived in the military camp from the age of seven. For training, men under the age of 60 are subject to military discipline. How could the Spartans trained in this way not be born fighters?
2. "The new era has come... the era of freedom. Everyone will know that the 300 Spartans took their last breath in order to defend freedom." In the
film, we seem to see the glory of Athens in Sparta. But in fact this is just a fabrication. In fact, Sparta is a dictatorial country. The Spartans are armed and brave. Compared with the Athenian democracy, they are actually two extremes. What becomes ironic is that Sparta exists precisely because around 1000 BC, the Dorians, the ancestors of the Spartans, invaded the Orotas River Basin, turning all the original natives into slaves. Therefore, in essence, the Spartans themselves are a free nation that enslaves others, and the militarized organization of the Spartans was established to control a large number of oppressed local residents.
3. The Persians in
"300" by the Persians are simply a copy of the Sorong army in the Lord of the Rings. It is no wonder that the people of Iran are dissatisfied and even angry with the film’s "demonization" of the Persians in history. Of course, as an ordinary viewer, it can be regarded as being loyal to the original or the strangeness and challenge of American culture to foreign culture, but this kind of ideological opposition is extremely sharp and the time to shoot this kind of film still gives people a lot of reverie. Some people even say that this is a New Year gift for Bush. However, for Iran, is it possible to switch roles? Isn’t Iran now the Sparta of more than two thousand years ago?
4. The truth
The three-day history of the 300 warriors resisting the Persian army at Wenquan Pass is indeed thrilling and exciting, and the "Passerby, please tell the Greeks, in order to obey their instructions, we sleep here forever." "There is no doubt that their spirit of resisting to the death has deeply moved the world's people for thousands of years. But it was not the 1,000 Spartans who defended freedom that defeated the Persian army last in history, but the overlord of the sea—the Athens fleet. But the bloody battle of the 30 Spartans took three days and it was undoubtedly a crucial one.
As a film that has changed from comics, it is truly impeccable elsewhere. The oil painting-like images are solemn and profound, and the bloody scenes also have another "violent aesthetic" that is different from Wu.
