For the BODY COUNT folks, an estimated 20,000 Persians were killed in the real battle. Considering only a thousand or so Greeks died, that's impressive.

mc finn ... is this sarcasm? If it is, I didn’t notice and I apologize for it. But I hate when people think they know history just because they watched movie. Yes, there was 300 Spartans but there was about a 1,000 soldiers from the allied Greek-states (Athens, Megara, Corinth), they lost two battles one in land and one naval (I could be wrong tho my memory fails me) thankfully they won the war, making it one of the most important wars in human history. Think about it, how would the modern world look like now if the Persians won?
@GokuInfintysaiyan

An estimated half a million were held back over 3 days due to the placement of the battle not allowing room for persians to continue coming through. Not to mention, originally those 20,000 died in those 2 & 1/2 days and then another wave flanked them with the alternate path then killing the Spartans who remained. All in all, more impressive than pretty much any other display of war. The total number of Persians was insane, but thankfully after wasting time and resources in Sparta, the Athenian navy didn’t have too much trouble stopping the ships that came for war

The "Immortals" were called as such because supposedly whenever a member of the exactly 10,000 man unit was killed, seriously wounded, or sick they would be immediately replaced with a new one, maintaining the corps as a cohesive entity with a constant strength.

As a side note, Spartan trash talking was known as "laconic humour" named after Laconia, an area in Ancient Greece. Women were particularly famous for it, such as when a soldier was telling his mother his sword was too short; she told him "take a step forward and it will be long enough". Also (this is something the movie actually got right), women had much more freedom in Sparta than in other areas of Greece (kinda pokes a hole in all that "toxic masculinity" stuff we keep hearing these days...), and one women from Sparta was asked how they were able to speak to their men in such ways; she replied: "Because only Spartan women give birth to MEN". And as for the whole "Immortals" thing; They were referred to as the Immortals in real life because they were said to be so numerous that when one died, another soldier was there to immediately take his place no matter how many died.

I find it rather convenient that you reviewed this; just the other day I was thinking about a plot point I wanted to criticize. Ephialtes wanted to see battle, but most importantly, he wanted to die a Spartan Death; which is why Leonidas wishing him to "live forever," is the greatest insult he could give to the man... However...if all this man wants is to die a Spartan Death...why couldn't they have just let him? I understand that him being unable to lift a shield would weaken their phalanx...but who is to say he even needed to be a part of their phalanx to partake in the battle? Why not just simply have him stand in front of the Phalanx of Spartans, to greet the Persians head-on? Effectively making him - what you might call, the "Foreshot Fodder" as it were. That way, Ephialtes can fight in the battle, kill as many Persians as he realistically can, die a Spartan Death, and thus not betray Leonidas at the end... Win - Win - Win... -- Also, I find it hilarious that so many people say this is a homo-erotically charged movie, when it was written by Frank-BatmanisCrazy-Miller. Needless to say, anyone who has cross-examined the man alongside Linkara, would be pretty well aware of how he writes the sexual aspects of his comics to be.
@DeepEye1994

In the comic Ephilates was crushed and immediatley threw himself off a cliff after Leonidas rejected him. Then after the Immortals battle he woke up realizing he didn't die and decided to go side with the Persians. They filmed that scene but then deleted it... Stupid choice. I think that was more important to the story than sex scenes with the queen or that whole council subplot that isn't even in the graphic novel.

Gay relationships were encouraged in Sparta, as it was thought that a group of soldiers would work together better if they had a sexual relationship. Another fun fact! Spartan boys were purposefully given just enough food that (while they didn’t starve to death) they would stay hungry to encourage the boys to steal food, a practice that they would be beaten for. The thought process was that the boys would learn how to move quickly and quietly by doing this

I like watching 300 and thinking about how the Spartan strategy could have drastically improved. The wedge formation in that one scene should've been replaced with an echelon to divert the Persians off the cliff rather than forcing the Spartans to break-rank and rely on pure berserker rage. The son's death could've been avoided and the Persians would be out roughly 60 men. The other free Greeks could have lined the sides of the Hot Gates with archers and station a detachment at the secret path.

Sparta didn't use coins. But towards the end (which is what this whole film is about), some got used to the idea of "the new ways" and found it much simpler to just carry a few pieces of metal in a pouch rather than move around entire herds of cattle. It also allowed those who did other things, like politicians, to not have to spend the majority of their time on raising farms and focus on things like politics. That is how Sparta "fell", not by the micronation disappearing, but being integrated into the rest of Greece as their culture slowly disappeared.

Let's not forget all the Persian characters who are depicted as mutant freaks. And ephialtes was a mutant freak instead of a regular greedy traitor. Leonidas says we need the phalanx formation to fight but in the movie they just break out of formation every single battle... They definitely could have used ephialtes in their battle they did not rely on the phalanx formation like Leonidas said. And there were thousands of Greeks at Thermaploye

Instead of seeing it as a historical film (which is not but it's fine because it never claims to be accurate), I see it as a violent comic book film for adults in the same way Sin City is.
