If so, I want to watch itGive me your best recommendations>inb4 some babby anon born after 2005 asks what pic rel ishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_(film)>300 is a 2006 historical action film directed by Zack Snyder, based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, which dramatically retells the ancient Battle of Thermopylae
>>217758802It's technically capeshit, it's almost scene by scene taken from the comic it is based on. Also it's in-universe propaganda told from the Spartans PoV of course they will not mention the thousand other allies they had in that battle.
>>217758802It's based on the novel. What did you expect? People always get filtered by this.
>>217758860It’s based on a comic
>>217758883Tomato, tomato
>>217758912Not in this caseA novel would’ve been more serious. Which is what your post is making it out to be
>>217758925No.
Everyone is this thread is retarded, and yes including me.
>>217758934You can’t claim to be above “filtering” when you get basic things wrong and double down after that, just saying
>>217758802Anastasia
>>217758968I can.
>>217758802Those two animated Titanic films, both of which feature talking mice
>>217758986Great, then you’re dumbThanks for playing
>>217758802Caligula
>>217758802At no point was it implied or shown, that the movie is trying to be remotely historic or realistic. It was a beautiful action flick.
>>217758802Pride And Prejudice And Zombies
>>217758802It was a cool movie, now fuck off.
>>217758802god you are a retard, its not based on history
>>217759023I know, but the setting and plot was based on the battle of Thermopylae, instead of a fantasy It did pretty well because it was based on that
>>217759041Didn’t say otherwise, that’s on you>>217759042The battle is a real event, so that is ironic you are calling others that
hidden figures
I wanted to fuck the oracle
>>217759083The crusty inbred guys on the mountain did
>>217759077real to whom? Were you there?
It was never depicted as a factual account of what happened either in the comic or the movie. It's quite literally presented as a hyperbolic hero's tale.
>>217758802the og trailer was literally passed around on dvd it was that fucking good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6UT5Uur2v8fuck you OP you massive faggot
>>217759120Calm down Jaden Smith
>>217759077you just might be retarded anon, the actual battle and the movie are not the same thing
>>217759136I didn’t say it wasn’t. You’re seeing things lol>>217759169Of course, because the movie took many liberties with it. Meaning it exaggerated. Pls stop making me explain common sense to you, it’s painful bro
>>217758802The heckin epic warrior society Sparta never existed. There probably was a city state called Sparta which had wars with Athens etc, but basically everything you believe about Spartan society, that they were this ultra-disciplined martial society where everyone trained to be a warrior all their life etc, is entirely made up. Its a myth like Atlantis. Even at the time when those myths were written, people were skeptical because there were barely any ruins indicating a proper city state at the place where Sparta supposedly was located.
>>217759180you dumb fuck, no-one thought it was a literal docodrama of what happened it was a hyped up dramatization on steroids and everyone knew it what the fuck are you even trying to say you stupid cunt?
>>217759204they were probably busy fucking young boys all day, typical greeks
>>217759232>agrees with me>still rages like a lunatic and insists on arguingBased, the voices in your head that tell you to burn things are doing wonders
>>217759253so in short the movie was fucking awesome and OP is a faggot got it, I think we are done here.
Just hide the thread, OP. Pretend it never happened.
Yep, it werent real, you're telling me a bunch of dudes standing in a line holding long sticks managed to take over all of persia and ancient indian, the greatest and largest armies of their time?
>>217759271>>217759272You are not mature enough to discuss much, not really my fault you’re like that Thanks for the bumps though
>>217759293Indias armies were never on par with Persia’s, get real
>>217759296bruh
>>217758802Woman King
>>217759330You’re back, which means you can’t even commit to your own statementsWhat a mess bro
>>217758802nothing like it exist but there are a lot of pretenders that followed after, in a completely different vein but an awesome hopeless battle that is dramatized is Ironclad (2011) with none other then James Purefoy as a Templar Knight defending a small castle against siege by King John, yes that King John, its not stylized at all but great fun all the same. A single knight and some 1/2 assed tower guards against an army.
>>217759382>the game of thrones lady is in itThanks for the suggestion
>>217759296>I don't actually want movie recs I just want to discuss the persian invasion vs the greeks, this thread was all a ruse tee heeGo fuck yourself sideways
Why don't brainlets get that what they're watching is the story Dilios tells? The movie gives this scene a very prominent moment.
i agree with the thread OP. this is like saying "why wasn't From Hell historically accurate? Victorian England was real!"that said, Braveheart will always take the cake. there's embellishment or minor inaccuracies, then there's outright contradiction.
>>217758883um excuse me, visual novel, thank you
>>217759417But you didn’t post any, so why are you roasting yourself? Also, you claimed to be done earlier and you’re back. Make up your mind
>>217759473i preferred the original manhwa, personally.
>>217758802>Has there ever been a movie that has grossly exaggerated history as much as this one did?Schindler’s List
>>217759471The thread agrees with me too. I never said it was bad that it was exaggerated, pretty much you did. And I mean specifically (you), because I highly doubt anyone else gives a fuck about your disagreement with me, no offense
>>217759486>MANhwa>mc always looks like a girl
>>217759486do they even make those anymore, i thought all they made were shitty phone comics with huge ass blank white spaces.
>>217759486What would a kpop leonidas look like
>>217759475right here buddy >>217759382how many more do you want? this is my thing, nothing is like 300 but overly dramatized battles of a small group against great odds? hell how many do you want? lets see Ironclad already did that, ther is alos the 2nd one not nearl a good but not awful. King Arthur with Clive Owen, Centurion with Fassbender, The Eagle with Tatum, as I said hell of a lot of these came out, the second 300, rise of an empire would qualify as well, not even getting into the old stuff but that more British history aka Zulu or ww2 stuff aka dirty dozen. Would you like to know more?
>>217759605Uh, sure!I’m already looking at some trailers for ironcladAlso do you have any for Chinese or Japanese history? Thanks
>>217759475oh also no idea what you mean by >you claimed to be done earlierthis is my first post ITT >>217759136
Fuck history, it's more kino like this
>>217759645Yeah, whateverSome retard earlier was screaming a lot because he got verbally raped, I assumed he was samefagging as you
>>217759667He didn't get raped, he BTFO you
>>217759679Ohhh, yeahI’m sure he totally gets laid all the time too hahahNvm, your takes are probably going to be trash, thanks
>>217759638>Chinese or Japanese historynope, if you do go ahead I'm a sucker for small ragtag bunch of "heros" trying to fight a horde, i've seen all of kurosawa and similar stuff like yojimbo and zatoichi, wolf and cub but that more in the lone gunman/lone swords man type genre not the same thing
>>217758802One thing is sure, if they made the movie today, Leonidas and most of the Spartans would be minorities, while the Persians would be white guys
>>217759503rough day, anon?anyway, if we're being a bit more loose with "history", i group picrel in with Braveheart. outright contradictions and misunderstandings of real-world history, American actors with weird Transatlantic accents, it even "borrows" from other contemporary fiction (they didn't realise Nasir in Robin of Sherwood was an original character).
>>217759667ok, well take my recs or don't in short you will never find anything like 300 in style, it stands alone, in story telling sure there are a bunch as 300 says the story of >the few who stood against many
>>217759697Thanks, I guess ip man qualifies too since they talk about Japanese occupation in China now that I think about it>>217759716Pretty good actually, this board is slow as fuck and 1 dedicated spastic is pushing this thread fast despite thatI’ll give these a look>>217759723Alright, thanks
>>217758802The worst part about this movie is that it dominated popular culture enough to warp modern perception of Spartans. The average person does not understand it is hyperbole, they think it's overall true (outside the fantastical shit) just like other inaccurate movies like Braveheart.
>>217759794nothing about that is bad, god you /his. fags are the worst, crazy thing is legends of heroic last stands are part of history in legends and popular stories and yet we still get faggots like you
>>217759834Heroic last stands are one thing, drastically depicting a culture completely inaccurate is another. I don't give a fuck if they played up Leonidas' death, the worst crime of the movie was acting like Spartans were some retarded "pro freedom" culture which is the exact opposite of who they were.
>>217758853Did ancient Greece look like Mordor in the comic book too?
OP I think you should be watching documentaries and not movies if that’s your issue
>>217759893It’s not an issueYour assumptions aren’t mineThis is getting tiresome lol
>>217759874gods above you are insufferable and don't even realize it, everyone knows, nobody cares its just cool as shit
>>217759919>everyone knowsthat's literally not true. ask the average person what they know about spartans they'll quote 300 verbatim because it's the only relevant piece of media about them.
This thing. OMG it's so crazy. Never mind it's based on a theory that was discredited by the time the thing was made. They just get so much culturally wrong.>>217759716One of the other RH adaptations after this has the muslims using gatling crossbows.
>>217759983That movie looks awesomeThanks
>>217759955i don't give a single wet shit what normies think
>>217759983kings of the sun is sick thanks for reminding me, going to dl it again now, its been too long
>>217759983Ok, it was the 2018 Robin Hood. The opening scene when he's still on crusade. Ye Balck Hawke is downe :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBaB7EewXc8And then this madlad went and recreated the gizmo:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kDY-uB3FTQ
>>217760651what a bunch of faggots, both vids
>>217758802It exaggerated the reality of the situtation just like greeks did when they wrote about it. It's fiction you stupid tranny. I like it because for some reason Frank Miller and Zack Snyder have been sand in the crack of the ass of every leftist since it came out.
>>217759983This looks absolutely based. Thanks for the recommend faggot.
Its one of the last films for men its just cool
>>217761167And that's why trannies screech endlessly about Zack Snyder. They will never forgive him for making this movie.
>>217761139Everyone knows thatNobody said it was a bad thing
>>217758963no you're not
>>217761191Zack Snyder should never write his own scripts
>>217761192Except for everyone in this thread and everyone online who won't shut the fuck up about "muh accuracy".
>>217761234
>>217761254>everyone in this threadLol, stop
>>217758802The Woman King. Inglorious Basterds. Don Bluth's Anastasia. Disney's Pocahontas.
>>217761191>trannies screech endlessly about Zack Snyder.He cast tranny as Flash.
>>217758968No.
>>217758802Based kino by based Snyder. The sequel wasn’t as good and has two girlbosses but based Themistocles fucks and then kills Eva Green’s character in the end.
>>217759023Did you know that Abraham Lincoln fought vampires like he did in that historical documentary made about him? Picrel.
>>217759163Reel buys real bi's
>>217759716I tried to watch this but turned it off when I saw the le noble muslim black kang hero.Not even an arab either, but a mulatto like Morgan Free Man.
>>217758802chink kino like hero, red cliff etc.
>>217758802Have you seen the sequel?
Not 50 years after the events in this movie, Sparta was allied with Persia against Athens.
>>217762421Yeah it was fine. The horse running straight from boat to boat and over fire was silly though
>>217758802schindler's list.while that's true I know it's not what you're asking for. what comes to mind is sword and sorcery stuff that is based on historical legend like escalibur and yamato takeru. valhalla rising. cowboys and aliens? godzilla minus one? 13 assassins? bahubali for sure. actually now that I think about it bollywood definitely has a lot of this. and now that I think about that, so does disney.
>>217758802>300 spartans myth>historyPick one.
>>217758802Probably enemy at the gates>Shooting your own dudes en masse when you can't supply them with ammo>Muh psychic sniper who shoots you as youre jumping>Sending normal conscripts on death charges when you have plenty of penal battalions to expend>The Germans shoulder to shoulder ready to mow the banzai charge downJust goofy as hell
>>217759293god this technology was so fucking good for it's time. so long as they had coverage on their flanks there was literally nothing to do against this. invulnerable in the front.
>>217759018Knowing what I know of Caligula, he woulda done it if he could/had the means
>>217758802this is one if zack snyders best films,i dont get how you go from this to making batman vs superman and rebelslop
>>217758802This is one of the most faithful movie adaptations ever, people just dont know what the real source is
It's meant to be exaggerated. It's the Spartans telling a story about themselves…
>>217761167Based Holly Hunter agrees. >"It was interesting to be in a movie that had so much testosterone, all these incredibly powerful guys," Hunter said.>"And I thought that, you know, as a senator, she brought her female-ness to the job in how she listened in her curiosity, in her ability to evaluate," Hunter said of her character. "[It] felt very female to me.">Hunter had only high praise for 32-year-old Cavill, with whom she spent the most time filming.>"Henry is utterly adorable ... just a lovely guy," she said. "Utterly lovely."
>>217761234Right. Snyder can make a damn good adaptation but he doesn't have many original ideas.
I did a book report on this film and got an A+ it's just that accurate plus I threatened to rape the teacher
>>217758853it's also WOT propaganda slop
>>217758802that one shitty movie starring Tom Hanks as a US senator during the Afghan-Soviet war
>>217763706Charlie Wilson's War (2007)Great fucking film, highly overlooked.
>>217758802But it actually fucking happened
>>217763737as a movie it's okay but it's resonsible for the retarded reddit myth of ''WOWZERS!!! 9/11 was a blowback because to the US support of the Mujahedeen!!!''
>>217762647>there was literally nothing to do against thislmao. the romans figure out to.... go around it and basically never lost a battle against a phalanx after Pyrrhus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae_(191_BC)Ironically enough the most famous example being in the fucking hot springs.
>>217763706How CIA created Taliban which defeated the USA twenty years after Dubya invaded Afghanistan and mutts spent trillions to replace Taliban with Taliban.
>>217759232The critics at the time literally complained about the movie not being historic enough, or being too fascist.
>>217763798lol, it was a psyop to make us feel guilty enough to allow the migrant crisis 5 years later.
>>217761234>>217763201Tell me how many original scripts he wrote. Please. I want to test something.
>>217759293Persia was already dying
Been watching a lot of Chinese movies lately and noticing a pattern>Chinese expat director The movie will be absolute misery porn about some poor privileged Chink who was forced to give up their 10 properties and 75 slaves to work a normal job which is so beneath them that they kill themselves. Critics say it's the most important movie you will ever watch.>Chinese directorDirector makes a good film set in China which doesn't spend it's entire runtime harshy criticizing the government. Critics call it CCP propaganda and it gets reviewbombed by redditors on every aggregate site.
>>217758802Yes, The Passion of The Christ.
>>217759794People who don't understand fluent English were furious with it
>>217758802Schindler's list
>>217764232That's not even history
>>217759465Probably because they didn't actually watch the movie.
>>217759465Anon most "people" can't even follow a basic plot and if the movie is even slightly complicated or weird they throw their hands up in the air and say "wow this movie is fucking crazy nothing makes sense!"
>>217764232inb4 Jimmies rustled greatly aka long-winded autistic screeching from the for some reason pretending to be a devout Christian on 4chan crowd
>>217758802Schindler's List
>>217758802Only brown people care this movie and, more specifically, this comic are great.
>>217759057It's based of Herodotus's account of the Battle Of Thermopylae, a battle that happened when he was 4
>>217765415what are you trying to say, retard?
>>217758802There are less accurate depictions of history put to screen every week. 300 isn't even egregious, it depicts the key beats of the true historical event more faithfully than a lot of Ridley Scott films
>>217763813It actually seems like they almost always went head to head against it reading the accounts of the battles. If you try to just "go around it" generally the greeks will usually have time to just retreat and decline battle. The two lines of heavy infantry do seem to meet head on even if terrain and/or manipular flexibility fucks up the phalanxes as it goes on, but I'm yet to actually figure out how the Romans close that distance in the first place. I think I understand how the Romans win from when they get in sword distance but have no clue how you get past six comically long spears.
>>217759465What are those goofy ass Sideshow Bob looking feet lmao
>>217759888It looks like that in real life, it's a barren shithole
>>217758998Also the entire titanic gets saved by an octopus and literally nobody gets hurt
