"The 300 Warriors of Sparta": Die from a rotten political conspiracy □ Text/Vulcan choose to die tragically; or humbly yield. Or, there is no room for choice at all. Coming from an ancient rock; madness ignited with sadness. forward. It is the victory that has been lying down in a pool of blood. ——Vulcan Ji. Inscription. From "300 Spartan" to the Iranian president’s cultural adviser’s protests against the film and Iran’s nationwide boycott of the film, if Iran’s nuclear issue and US foreign policy are aside, maybe, you can. From the side, we can see the impact of this film on the Persian world and its success in film art. Not to mention whether the beautiful killings in this movie really contain terrible political metaphors. If this is just a mediocre movie, maybe Iranians will not even bother to resist it. The president’s cultural adviser said that “the film insulted Persian (Iranian) culture and was a psychological warfare by the United States against Iranian culture.” Such a big crime may not be able to kill the film, but instead. Smashed this movie even more. Many people are measuring the political metaphors contained in this movie. If the ancient Persia in the movie represents the current Iran and Xerxes represents the current Iranian nuclear issue, then maybe this movie may It really goes without saying like Sima Zhao's heart. But, is the movie really so complicated? The reason why political issues in reality are projected into the movie is simply that people in reality are overly sensitive to national self-esteem. Movies, purely watching movies and loving movies, maybe everything will be much simpler and clearer. They have their negotiating table, and we also have our movie black room. Perhaps, this is why this movie did not cause any waves outside of the movie. And since we are not negotiators, we can rest assured to eat a big meal of this visual feast.
The film begins with Leonidas as a baby and tells of his tragic life. How to bravely resist the attack of the Persian Empire in order to defend his family and the country, how to lead his three hundred warriors to use the advantage of the terrain to resist the mighty invasion of millions of troops until the brave death in the end. Because the whole story carries a heavy sense of nationality and the sense of honor of fighting for the defense of the family and the country, the whole movie is stained with a layer of sad beauty. The movie retains the beautiful and sad sceneries in the original comics and the changes to the characters’ costumes. Therefore, the Spartan warriors who should have been wearing heavy armor are all naked and bronze muscles on the battlefield for the glory of themselves and their people. Fight. For the bloody battle, the movie uses a lot of computer-made special effects, splashing blood, and fast switching between slow and fast mirrors, visually synthesizing the gorgeous effects we see. However, this also left a fatal bug in this movie. It seems that all the soldiers will never get the blood of the enemy in the war. How to train the soldiers into the most brave and capable army in the world, the film uses Leonidas' growth to describe in detail the almost cruel and ruthless education method of the Spartans. And why do you want to turn your beloved child into a heroic god of war who is not kind, not retreating, and not afraid? Perhaps, to some extent, this is a relatively extreme way of accusing people of people's desires since ancient times. And the frantic war caused by the pursuit of power. Use a more rational way to love your children. How can we give them a better life. Strict training allows them to resist powerful enemies and beasts and protect their own people and homes. Not being kind to the enemy is the best protection for themselves. The world is cruel. Only when they become strong, they may be able to protect themselves. beautiful life. This may be the Spartans' most rational way of dealing with their own ruthless demands, and their most far-sighted way of protecting their children. Rather than being captured or enslaved by the enemy or even fleeing on the battlefield, it is better to abandon him when he was not strong enough at birth, and die under the fangs and claws of wild wolves when fighting against wild beasts. glory. Respect honor. For the Spartans, death is not terrible, but the terrible thing is the cowardice of human nature. Therefore, the battlefield is the most glorious home of the Spartan warriors.
Too many harsh conditions and accidents made the only remaining Spartan fighters the most terrifying army in the world. However, Leonidas, who did not succeed but died first, did not die in the war or Xerxes's Hundred Nations Legion, but died in the political conspiracy of the internal divisions of the Spartans. What I can’t figure out is that the old and ugly priests in ancient times also grew up in the same education model as Leonidas, did they forget the glory of the Spartans and the bloodthirsty of the young when they were old? The war has transformed the desire for wealth and femininity. So much so that they would accept a bribe from Xerxes and forget their tradition of being a Spartan. Rotten so-called laws and oracles, these old people who enjoy everything are more lethal and penetrating than the millions of legions in Persia. Leonidas and his three hundred warriors finally died in the battlefield. Before dying, they used their bodies to withstand Xerxes’s crazy attack and proved their bravery. However, no matter how brave the soldiers were A government that can die of its own decay and backwardness. If it were not for the greedy desires of these priests, perhaps Leonidas could have perfected his glory in the Hippo War. It's just that, in addition to their frantic battles and brave reputation, what is left of history is perhaps only the faint sigh. The overwhelming flying arrows could not shoot through the heavy shields of the Spartans, the huge monsters galloping in could not break through the solid phalanx of the Spartans, and the immortal army of Leonidas could not disperse the defense of the three hundred warriors; however, they no longer Strong, but can't resist the greedy desire behind him. All wars stem from the desire to conquer and greed; and all the dirty and secretive rotten deals behind the war also stem from greed. Three hundred warriors can resist the longest direct attack at Hot Spring Pass and kill the most brutal enemy, but what they can't resist is still that terrible desire. Died tragically. All people fight to the end, but this still can't conceal the humanistic thinking about ugly human nature behind the movie. No matter how sad and glorious the movie portrays Leonidas and his three hundred warriors, in my opinion, their deaths are nothing but a tragedy doomed by that political farce. They must die. Then, ten thousand Spartans, ten thousand Spartans crazier than Leonidas can attack. At this time, Leonidas prophecies of victory and glorious death can honor the blood splattered by the Persians. inside. For the glory of the people, for the glory of myself, for the king who has died for the country, for the glory of Sparta. Killing is just to not be killed or enslaved. Perhaps, and only at this moment, Leonida's death showed great glory. He once said that if the Persians were not lucky enough to kill themselves, then the entire Spartan army would come out for the death of him and his three hundred warriors. Leonidas died of that foul political conspiracy, and all he could choose was to use his death to ignite the entire Spartan madness. He can kneel down temporarily, in order to remember the queen who is worried for him at home; he can remove his helmet, because the helmet suffocates him and obstructs his view; he can put down his shield, because the shield is too heavy and too heavy. Affected his body balance. He has to stand taller, see farther, and throw the spear farther in his hand to kill the fiercest enemy. When he was surrounded by thousands of horses, there was no fear, but he couldn't calm down, no longer felt afraid, no longer felt cold, and breathed calmly. Died safely. It ignited the raging anger of all the Spartans, and completely burned the enemy to ashes. When he was surrounded by thousands of horses, there was no fear, but he couldn't calm down, no longer felt afraid, no longer felt cold, and breathed calmly. Died safely.

What the end of this tragic situation ultimately leaves behind is the lament of history. And those sordid desires of political power are enough to obscure all greatness. This may be the grief and anger that this movie finally conveyed to us. It may not be difficult to defeat the enemy, and it may not be difficult to defeat oneself. The real difficulty is how to overcome the weak instinct and the desire to lead greed. The three hundred warriors of Sparta must die. This is a war without any suspense. But if it were not for greedy desire, then there would be no war; if it were not for greedy desire, then Sparta would be led by Leonidas and flock to the hot springs, and Leonidas might not die. , The Persian Legion may then withdraw from the territory of Greece and no longer invade. Maybe, in fact, there are not so many possibilities. History is not as pure and beautiful as we desire, and human nature itself will always be greedy. In a battle of tragedy that has been destined for a long time, in a war that has long been reduced to history, what we can see, what we can pray for, perhaps, is only the powerless redemption of self.
