^lmao.

look man, at the end of the movie they state they're about to take on the Barbarians. That's who the opposing army was at the end. if i didn't already delete the file i'd record the scene so you know whats goin on

I told you...because it's pretty goddamn obvious there are more than Spartans in Greece, and there were more than two battles in the war. Not that difficult to understand. All you can do is pull shit out of your ass when the movie is a fictional version of the war. If you want to know, since you won't let people tell you, look at the war itself.

what your dumbass im-hungry-to-look-right self doesnt understand is im not talking about the historical account of the battle, im talking about THE MOVIE!! THEIR EXPLAINATION you fuckin dumbass

holy shit man is it really that complex for you?

__________________

There IS NO FUCKING EXPLANATION IN THE MOVIE. If you use your fucking head, you'll realize there are more than two battles in a war --- you shouldn't need to fucking have the movie explain that to you. Is that too complex for you? If you actually read what I said, you'd see I was saying there wasn't an explanation in the movie.





You shouldn't fucking say shit is too complex for someone if you're too dumb to read and comprehend what I'm saying in the first place.

clown, the movie makes no connection between the two battles. there's no refference, there's no inclinaton or anything that they're connected. and that's exactly what this thread is about. there is no explaination in the movie, i said it, you say it, then wtf are you arguing for?

you wanna talk about history and read between the lines and assume shit that wasnt' there and all this other shit man, hardcore hungry to look right about...

guesses.



hang yourself

A connection between what battles? Thermopylae and Plataea? That the battle itself was Plataea? Are we still on the original topic of 'why did Xerxes not continue on and fight Sparta'? Elaborate.

dude im talkin about the battle they were having the whole movie and the battle they were going into at the end. so with that context in mind, re read this.. then still hang yourself.

Okay, so you're saying there is no connection between the battle at the end of the movie and Thermopylae in the movie? Are you fucking retarded? Except for the fact that Dilios (the guy with the fucked eye that went back to the Council) says to the army at the end that the Persians were unable to hold back 300 Spartans, they must be scared as shit to be facing ten thousand Spartans and many other thousands of soldiers from other places in Greece? Leonidas sent Dilios back to Sparta to tell the Spartan Council how easily they dominated the Persians until the betrayal at the end, and the sacrifice the 300 made. The entire subplot of the movie with the Queen was so that they could rally up the rest of the Spartan army up for battle instead of giving into the peace offerings of the Persians. At the end, which happened a year later, they brought up the Spartan army and confronted the Persians at Plataea, with Dilios as commander. Not only are there Spartans there, but many other Greek armies are present. Use some logic. I would tell you about the Battle of Salamis which happened before and other battles the Spartan army were at before Plataea, but you wouldn't care because they're not movie canon and you need to be spoonfed. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that you're seeing only part of the army of Xerxes or it has been decimated through constant battling (the Spartan Dilious, in the movie, mentions they are fighting 120,000 Persians at the time). But no, you seem to think the movie wants you to believe the Persian army sat down for a year, had some tea, and slept until the Spartans and the other Greeks rallied up an army. The reason they showed Plataea is because that's when the army of Xerxes was permanently beat out of Greece.

But no. Because this isn't specifically mentioned in you movie, almost eight hundred thousand Persian soldiers disappeared, and there were two battles in the war, because you refuse to read between the lines.

"Here on this ragged plain of Plataea, Xerxes' horde faces obliteration. Just there, the barbarians hover. Hear terror ripping tight, their hearts, with icy fingers, knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of the three hundred. It is here now, across the plain, ten thousand Spartans, commanding thirty thousand free greeks...HOOO! The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one. Good odds for any Greek."

The quality isn't good so you can't see the opposing force, if indeed that is what you are seeing for that four seconds when you look over Dilios' shoulder. He calls them barbarians, because of course you're calling to call your enemy names, and call them pathetic. The word itself has connotations of dirty invaders trying to destroy your way of life. And even if there is a completely different army there, you refuse to listen to what I say just because it isn't in the movie, because it doesn't need to be in the movie because it's COMMON SENSE.

I would tell you how, after the Battle of Salamis, Xerxes returned to Persia and gave control over to Mardonious, but you wouldn't care. I'd tell you how the Peloponnese were being attacked and the Spartans watned to remain there but were eventually moved out, but you wouldn't care, because the movie didn't spoon feed it to you that other battles had occured. It's funny how you're all over RV telling people to think for yourself, but you expect to sit there gaping dumbly at the screen unable to figure out simple shit like armies (especially the size of Xerxes') do not stay in one place together, and that plenty of battles have occured.

Now, predictably, you won't answer any questions, and you'll repeat what I've already proven wrong.

Hang yourself.

probably just a way for them to tell the story

probly had nothing to do with the war before, but i could be wrong, hyping the soldiers up for a battle that they had a chance at
