Re: the movie 300-awesome or not?
That is something that really disturbed me. WHERE IS ALL OF THEIR HAIR?? Is it that their muscles are so big that hair can't grow? Or maybe Spartan men were metrosexuals??Originally Posted by Crimson Sky
I told my best friend that I didn't like the move A WHOLE lot. He almost pulled over to push me out. lol
Anyone heard of the crazy 300 work out? I saw a video clip of it, kind of reminds me of something you would see at a strong man competition.
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
Re: the movie 300-awesome or not?
*shrugs* I always considered the naval battle at Salamis to be part of the last stand at Thermopylae. In those days, word travelling as slow as it did, I tend to lump any connected battles together, even if a month passes between them
With the liberties they took with the death of Leonidis, and the contributions of the other greek soldiers, AND the deformed Gollum-like betrayer, I would rather have seen the naval battle over the love scenes.
In those times, what's a month?
Again, just my opinion, in a vain attempt to make peace between history and Hollywood.
As far as the hairlessness? How in HELL was the studio going to get our wives/girlfriends to go willingly with us to see a movie of this sort?
FILL THE BATTLE SCENES WITH MUSCULER, HAIRLESS, HUNKS OF BEEFCAKE!
Re: the movie 300-awesome or not?
artistic liberties aside, i would say the movie was really good. i havent confirmed this yet, but my friend looked up thermopylae and found that people, places, events, and even statements were all accurate. the part where leonidas says he cant bow before xerxes because of a cramp in his leg... that apparently happened in real life.
my favorite part was the beginning phalanx. if they had more of that instead of breaking formation eventually and turning it into a brawl... well that would have been super cool.

300 is about as historicaly accurate as Ice Age 2: The Meltdown was to prehistory.

Re: the movie 300-awesome or not?
That's an exaggeration. The Graphic Novel "300" was actually based off of the events that took place at the battle of Thermopolae, with a very slight twist put on them.
Anywho, don't go to the movies for a history lesson. That should be obvious =/

Yeah. Ok. slight twist. Time for you to shut off the PC and back slowly away...

We all know that everything is a slight twist, Crimson. That's how we can make things sound modest.
