300 is the best movie ever made and if you disagree you are objectively wrong.

>>211985409 (OP)
If you're 14 and a closeted homosexual, probably.

not even the best sneeder movie

Its unironically one of the greatest action films ever made. Snyder is a retard but he created a masterpiece here.

It's the best Snyder flick.
Says more about Snyder than anything else tbqh

>>211985409 (OP)
Chick flick.

Why are the quips in this movie so much better than modern quips?

Dude that was literally a historical quote.
The Spartans were masters of snappy put-downs.

>"Our ancestors built this wall, using ancient stones from the bosom of Greece herself. And with a little Spartan help, your Persian scouts provided the mortar

How do you respond without sounding mad?

>REPUBLICANS LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS!
>DEMOCRATS COME AND GET THEM!

>>211985409 (OP)
The sequel is better.

Not bait. Sincerely it is better.

Inb4 "White," it's fucking Frank Miller

>>211987520
Dude, both movies are obvious neo-con, New American Century propaganda.
They were made during America's brief imperialist phase, when they invaded Iraq, and Iran (Persia, geddit?) was next in their crosshairs.

>>211987520
imo it's the Back to the Future Two equivelant. Bigger, brasher, using the momentum of the previous installment. But it's still inferior because it's predecesor is perfect. 300 is perfect. Back to the Future is perfect. And both of these movies work perfectly fine as stand alone features. Their respective sequels both build on the first installments, and both raise the scope, but as movies they just fall short.

I'm not saying the sequel to 300 is bad but in no way does it stack up to the original. Also the lead just cannot compete with Gerard Butler.

>>211985409 (OP)
I mean its somewhat fun and entertaining. If you like it very much then good for you

>>211988047
How does Greece defending itself against the Persian Empire in any way support imperialism and invasions? You realise the invaders were the bad guys in 300, right? Sparta was literally a tiny city-state standing up to an empire

>>211986420
That’s only because the battle would be a source of Spartan state propaganda for centuries. Half the details were likely made up ad-hoc to aid their city-state’s image internationally.

>>211985579
>Its unironically one of the greatest action films ever made
This. 300 deserves to be re-released in IMAX.

The opening clash at thermopylae is probably the best on screen depiction of hoplite warfare we are ever gonna get

>>211988106
Irrelevant. The neo-cons thought they could convert Muslims into bien-pensant democratic citizens. The movies were about stirring up a public appetite for war against Iran.

>>211986476
Kinda less cool of a retort when you remember that the Macedonians then marched into Greece and conquered them.

It's basically in the category of
>"What are you gonna do, stab me?"
>- Quote from man stabbed

>>211988723
It’s not that tinfoilly. The Middle East was in the public consciousness because of the wars, so movies like 300, Kingdom of Heaven, Alexander were made.

>>211988723
The movies are about Europeans defending themselves from a hoard of invading browns. Sorry that you cannot see anything beyond an american lense.

>>211988896
Remind me what country the movies were made in, and the political context of the times?

The talking scenes, especially back at Sparta, are excruciating. The fight scenes are extraordinary, some of the best ever put to screen. If I am ever bored enough I will edit the movie down to an hour or so.

>>211988723
>The neo-cons thought they could convert Muslims into bien-pensant democratic citizens.
How would 300 accomplish this?
>The movies were about stirring up a public appetite for war against Iran.
The vast majority of people have no idea that Persia even has a connection to what is now Iran. I highly doubt that connection was made in the minds of the vast majority of movie goers.

>>211988893
Yeah, but 300 went out of its way to portray Persians as effeminate, degenerate subumans who deserve to be slaughtered. It was a blatant psyop.
Can you guess (((who))) was behind it?

>>211988998
That’s exactly how the comic was, because it was the product of Frank Miller’s fevered brain. Please stop talking about things of which you have no clue.

>>211988983
>The vast majority of people have no idea that Persia even has a connection to what is now Iran
Are you serious? Anyhow, propaganda is the art of constructing a narrative. The people would be indoctrinated soon enough.

>>211988922
I don't give a shit what country the movie was made in. And I don't think the political context of the times matters. Even if you are correct in saying this was pro invasion propaganda, which I doubt, the movie has outlived it's era. It is about Greeks, Europeans, defending themselves against brown, muslim hoardes. How is that not based? It is literally anti-rapefugee propaganda. Proud, warrior Europeans repelling an army of durka-durka browns from taking over our land. Any attempt to convince me that is not a based premise only convinces me that you are a kike or an anti-White faggot of some description.

>>211989057
And Hollywood chose to dramatise this particular comic just at the time the US was contemplating war with Iran. Funny, huh?

>>211988998
>thinking I care about middle easterners being slaughtered
TIL THIS DAY... I don't. I don't support israel, neither do I care when iran is bombed.

>>211989150
To call you a midwit would be a compliment.

>>211989118
I'm exposing a kike psyop. I think that means I'm not a kike.
And your interpretation of the movie is just that: an interpretation. If it works for you, good luck with it. And no, it's not "anti-rapefugee propaganda" - it's from a different time.

>>211989215
Not an argument. Surrender accepted.

>>211989342
You have the conspiratorial worldview, absolutely every fact will be bent towards your bizarre preconceived conclusion. Never mind that you have demonstrated not knowing what you are talking about, it is inconceivable to you that he conjunction of the rise of historical action movies (Gladiator, Troy, etc) comic book adaptations (Spider-Man, X-Men, etc) in the years leading up to 300 might have indicated there was a ready market for such a thing. I know you’ll have a ready “explanation.” I won’t bother reading your reply so don’t bother replying.

>>211989260
Brown hoardes invading Europe is an eternal issue. Whether it is rapefugees or invading armies. The point is, see the wider message of the movie. Maybe it served as a bit of propaganda in pointless invasions into the middle east, a single bit in a torrent of propaganda. But the story is based on a real invasion against Europe. The message that will never be dated is one that is against that invasion. It doesn't matter whether that is armies, migrants or "refugees". The movie is based. A movie that is explicitely about Europeans repelling a brown, muslim invasion cannot be anything but based.

>>211988368
I'd go see it

>>211988998
It was told from the perspective of the Greek soldiers. Of course it was biased. That was the point. It's not supposed to be historically accurate.

>>211989150
I guess Last Samurai, Pearl Harbor and Flags of Our Fathers were meant to soften us up for a war with Japan… lol

>>211989470
>I won’t bother reading your reply so don’t bother replying.
Then I guess you're out of luck, faggot.
You clearly have no memory of the propaganda offensive that preceded the invasion of Iraq. Nor of the stated intentions of the Project for a New American Century, which so influenced the administration of George W Bush. The project was about systematically destroying non-democratic regimes and installing puppet governments loyal to the US. This project failed at the first hurdle with the Iraq debacle, but the plan was to move on to Iran afterwards. This was all in accord with Israeli plans to first destroy the Iraqi army (the biggest Islamic military force at the time), and then smash the Iranian regime, which had sworn to destroy Israel.
What, have you still got your fingers in your ears? Guess that means you concede defeat. Frankly. I thought you'd put up more of a fight.
Fucking clueless zoomers, I swear ...

>>211989754
>what is political context
Fucking dumbass.

>>211985409 (OP)
Besides being gay this movie is very based

>>211985409 (OP)

Why would I disagree when you’re objectively right?

>>211986271

They’re literally ripped straight out of Herodotus’ Histories

>>211989875
Interesting. Was the Covenant in Halo meant to be a standing for the Iranian regime?

>>211989562
Dude, think about it. Every Snyder's movie have a villain that is obviously gay-coded.

>>211985409 (OP)
300 is a homoerotic death march. I love it so much.
