[QUOTE="gs_gear"]I'm watching 300 right now. :DDavidhye

huh

how could u be watching it

lets bring it to 300 post and end it

the reason i said this movie is racist is that they say the persions are savage and show them do stupid and horrible things which is not true. Irronicley [spelling] persions were the most civilised people of that time and the spartans think they arent savage. at the battle scene they kill the persions who are on there on there knees dying. Know some people out there are going to think iranians are like bloodthirsty beasts thanks to the extreme inaccuracy of this movies history. yes it was based on a novel but it was was based on something that happened in real life so there is no reason to. lie to the people that persions are savage.

The spartans werent there for a war, they were there to kill. You think they had time to take in wounded, or care for persians. Plus its a graphic novel, who cares how the persians were potriated because it wasnt supposed to be an accurate potrail.  Plus the people may have been civilized but that has nothing to say about the army. Plus its a fiction movie. People say well its still based on true battle, yeah it is based on the true battle, but the way the author wants to create it is his choice because its fiction.

Apparently this movie has Iran up in arms. I think they are missing the point - it was just an entertaining bloodfest, not a historical commentary.

you and your petition buddies are idiots. Its fiction, FICTION. A movie, a GRAPHIC NOVEL. Yeah all think your high and mighty standing for the truth, but theres no truth to fiction, which the movie was and set out to be.  Think of all the comic books that portrait nazis as evil crazy dudes, there fiction, as 300 was.

that movie went too fast

it goes, young kid training to be a warrior---->persian guy threatens leonidas------>skewering of many persian warriors-----> the end

seriously, this movie looked good, but they chose the effects and action over characterization

this movie is actually going to be forgotten

the stories are far different, plus 300 happenedover 2000 years ago.

well in the movie well parts of it you see the persions screaming in the air like retards oh yes and spelling dosnt matter online i come here to discuss stuff not go to english class. Oh yes and you could atleast let the persions die in peace instead of shoving spears in there heads as they are totaly defensless on the ground. Im just saying that this movie didnt need to have stupid savagy behaivir like this making iranians look retarded.hornymushroom

yes die in piece, let them sit and rot and be eaten to death by gulls, or just stab them in the chest , so they arent suffering. Plus the only time the persians looked like evil savages was the immortals, and that was just frank millers art style to show how the immortals were feared. Other than that the persians had nothing else that made them look like savages. Ive read books based on the battle, the persian king did execute several of his generals.

nazis were evil crazy dudes. do you not know what took place in the  world wars???hornymushroom

to say that every nazi was evil, and they werent just doing there orders is very wrong.

Jesus H Christ, why do people insist on making it so god damn hard to just sit down and enjoy a god damn movie? I'm sorry if 300 isn't high brow Matrix entertainment. Or doesn't try to be as historically accurate as Band of Brothers. Is the concept of a nice old fashioned action movie really that hard?

what are YOU smoking? By your logic, every invasion in history is the same story, every defensive action in history is the same story, etc.

That's a big reach.  You can infer almost anything if you try hard, but I hardly doubt that was the intended message.  The movie was based on the legend and possibly historicaly accurate of an advance troop of 300 spartans (and in history 700 greeks, the thespians) that engaged the persian host at thermopylae.  It has little to do with america.  The movie was presented in more of a comic book flavor and had less to do with real world events.

your right it would be a nationalistic message for americans...if it wasnt based on something that actually happened. When frank miller did the movie he did it to make his own iterpretation of the battle of thermopalyea, becasue when he was younger he saw the movie The 300 spartans. He didnt make it to have a nationalistic message, he wanted to turn something he loved into a graphic novel, he never had any thought about pro war or anythng like that. Dont bring any anti war stuff into a talk about a fictional movie.

whether the film is fictional or based on actual events is irrelevant. the moral of the story is that: (1) war is good. (2) sometimes it is right for a commander in chief to start a war without the approval of the counsel/congress/senate/parliament. (3) people of the same nationality have a natural affinity and need to stick together.

i did not hate the movie, nor did i love it as much as some of you, i am simply pointing out observations that i have made.

  Yes, exactly. It's Fictional entertainment. Unfortunately the feeble-minded do not understand.

you make it seem like frank miller and zach snyder made it for those reason which is untrue. The fact that it can be related to events today doesnt mean that it was made for that reason. Miller made the graphic novel acoupld years ago before this war started. The movie is almost a mirror image of the graphic novel,literally i could paste a pic from the novel over the movie and theyd be exact. So it might seem like the movie is that way, but is wasnt created to do that.

1.  Most war movies always tend to portray war as good or foucs on the "glory of war" - thats part of their allure.

2.  Your second point about the commader in chief not needing the approval of the senate is weak if best.  I highly doubt that was the intended point.  The director did that most likely to explain WHY there were only 300 spartans.

3.  Fight with people just like you.  How would that apply to america since we have one of the most diverse populations?  We wouldn't be able to fight with our own.

yes it does.When you come and say they made it to be a message you mean he made it for that reason, and it was one of there intentions on release. Well the author, director didnt have that in their mind. The fact that it can be related just happened, plus its a war movie, they all have that meggase whether it comes out during war times or not.

so man goat whats up and like all the unessisary nakednessinthiscasket
