Click on the link for more news concerning the movie of 300 Spartans.

Oh no...
I was expecting Steven Pressfields ...Gates of Fire...
I hope that they make a true film this time...not like "Alexander" or Troy...BS...

Regards

the movei will be based on the work of Frank Miller, the guy of the Sin City comic book/movie. Perhaps it will have the same style. BTW Sin City was a nice movie to watch. I liked the detective style narration. B)

here an interesting link from the IMDB forum of the movie ...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/

have fun :applause:

We allready HAD democracy! Stupid americans! :damn:

I shiver thinking of what they ll do to it.They could say that Spartans gave time for the Greeks to gather and defend democracy ,but Spartans planted the seeds of democracy?? :hammer: Bt if they were the most stubborn supporters of oligarchy!They were allergic to democracy.

I remember what they did to Alexander and can't beleive how's possible to have such a rich script with tremendous opportunities to make it an epic,and screw it up so badly.I was about to sleep at the end...

Having read Frank Millers ''300'',I would say that us.imdb.com description is not accurate.In Frank Millers novel,Spartans are described as badass soldiers who obey blindly the LAWS of Sparta,not Democracy.

today starts the shooting in montreal 17.oktober lets hope for somthing special :mgun:

wat do you guys thing of the actors and names ?

my opinion is to call a ancient greek(hellen) STELIOS its a mistake because its a modern greek name i thing ..

stelios =spartan :hammer:

Thanks for the Info Brother...but i dont see any Big name among the actors...

Hope that it will be worthy. movie.... <_<

maybe its the style of frank millers..

and the budged is small too 80 millions only...

wait and see,but wats about stelios as spartan warrior wats next MITSOS us Gladiator or somthing :roflmao:

Mitsos...as Gladiator...???...yes we will show the world our greatest warriors...aka Mitsos... :roflmao:

and KOSTIKAS in the next alexander movie ,

thing about alexander fights in the battle of gaugamela and then comes KOSTIKA and MITSOS who will fight side bye side with ALEXANDER

:roflmao: :bawl: :roflmao:

sometimes holywood are so DUMB sorry

for the others ,
kostika and mitsos are names where used often in greek jokes

I've read the comic...

Amazing artistic job from the side of Miller, but he pictures spartans being in semi-neandertal condition...

He has them as being some zulu tribe in Africa. War mongers, rude, etc.. :damn: :damn: :damn: :Cursing:

I bet it will be a thrilling movie to watch, but let's pray they will give a realistic aproach to the movie, cause only prayors can work with all these duma$$es in holywood... :hammer:

Steven Pressfield, where are you buddy? :(

yes yes indeed...steven pressfield is the greatest...

soon as iam making my first 200 mil. dollars i will produce the movie my self... :help:

anytime soon ?

The irony is that there are sources that deny both these characterizations.

Thucydides says that it is easier to convince 30000 (democratic) Athenians to go to war, than to convince 1 (oligarchic) Spartan to do the same.

Plus, Spartans had a great sense of humour. They were austere etc etc but their humour was infamous. My favourite anecdote is described in one of Plutarch's books. A Spartan and another Greek (can't remember from where) are looking at a painting of a battle between Athenians and another Greek city (can't remember which). The other Greek comments: "The Athenians are very brave...". The Spartan answers: "On the painting...". :D

Anciant Spartans are the most civilised society planet earth has ever seen.

They were mighty warriors but this is what their time was asking of them.

End of story. No point of arguing imo...

THE HOMEPAGE

I am looking forward to this movie :applause:

Hopefully they wont make it as bad as Troy or Alexander and keep the movie similar to the work of Frank Miller, just like Sin City.

:applause:

i bet you would see it different when you were there as a Helot...


Btw. i hope the movie won't suck like Troy (sry but Brad Pitt was just gay) or even worse Alexander (no comment).

wats about the helmets why the dont use the red colored horse hair, only leonidas is woring a black one ,why??

:bawl:

Actually,i found the video pretty cool.I am looking forward to d/l it. :lol:

My ancestors (Messenians) WERE the helots.


But I can not deny that Spartans had concieved the perfection that we still ask for civilisation to bring in our lives.

Spartans were living like the poorest of people. They did not had any money or posessions, they ate no meat or luxurious stuff, but "Melana Zomo" (a black tasteless soup made of weat)... Their buildings and houses were the humblest of all Greece.
They were the only political system worldwide through the books of History, that had banned the metal called GOLD to be under the ownage or the usage of its substitutes. Even the official city of Sparta did not own not even one golden coin.

And they had this life not cause they couldn't have something better (all of Greece, including Athens, was beneath them, and they could have whatever they wished, anytime they wished it. They had crashed the Pershian empire for god's shake.), nor because they dispised civilisation...
BUT BECAUSE they believed that greatness is not counted by riches or golden coins, or shiny big beautiful decorated buildings, or by big fat flannely beautiful words, but by the greatness of the man, by the glory of his deeds, by the shining of his spirit, by his obeyance to the Supreme laws of his state, by the beauty of HIS OWN body.

They were saying that there was no need of an odeum for a singer to express heavenly music with his harp, nor of great temples for a man to connect himself with the ancestral gods, etc, etc..



But this does not mean that I won't name my children, like many Messenians here, after the names of those Messenian heroes that burnt down Sparta... Names like Aristodemos or Aristomenis still are very popular between the messenians. And I would be proudly be one of their rebeled helots. ;)

That was Greece back then. Scattered city-states fighting each other. But each one of them had such glory that by the today mean's, it can't be measured.

Sparta, Athens, Corinthos, Theba, Pella, Syracuse, Miletos, Olympia, Byzantion, Rhodes, Knossos, etc, hated each other like nothing, but they had one thing in common they were (and still are) Hellenes. Glorious and proud.

I respect Sparta as an enemy, unlike some other barbarian, envious and miserable ones.

Nice post Pytheas.

How did you find out that your ancestors are Messenians ?

well, you can not discover the obvious... :dunno:

I am Mesenian.. My father comes from a village called Androusa that lies next to (ancient) Ithomi, the capital of Messinia, and My Mother comes from a village called Filiatra, that is next to ancient Pylos (that had for king the respectful and wise homeric King Nestor). Both of the villages are in Messinia.

I lived all my life in the modern capital of Messinia, Kalamata.

:P



To be precise, not all of Messinia was helotes, but only a (small) part of it... but we dramatise things to excuse the destruction of Sparta..



For anyone that can read greek, there is a perfect link: http://www.sikyon.com/Sparta/history_gr.html on the history of Sparta, including the Messenian wars, and most itrestingly the (unknown) invasion of Lacedaimonians to Minor Asia. The reasons of the failure of that campaign were the ones that led Alexander few years later to "exandrapodisei" the Thebes... ;)

the homepage had the first update with some new pics ,have fun ..........................

My Webpage

There are times in history when man rise to greatness. The 300 Spartans did that.

I am waiting for that movie like an expectant father. If it's as good as Gladiator better, I will bring a sleeping bag to the movie house and watch the movie until I go blind.

LOL Spartan, why not buy the movie when its on DVD. Anyway I really hope they reach the same level and style as Frank Millers comics, thats just awesome. :duel:

second video journal ,here the link have fun..

second video journal

I just saw the video.........oh my God, what a tragedy!

Spartans going to battle with bare chests? BARE CHESTS? What is this? Neanderthals with spears? F*CK*N SAD.

After I saw the video, I held my face for a few minutes and almost cried. They are making a FARCE out of the bravest man who ever breathed. Spartans success was born from their discipline, bravery and BATTLE GEAR. They were literally armored tanks. From a frontal view, there was NOTHING exposed but their eyes. From the back, there was only the bottom of their feet (thus the achilles heal legend) and that's it. Their amour was light years ahead of ANYBODY in their time. And in the movie they are going to war with bare chests! BARE CHESTS!?!?! What the hell are the Persians fighting with? Plastic dildos? "Here, hit my rippling muscles with your dildo!”

I don’t mind artistic license, in fact, I love it when properly used. When Gladiator is in the fields of Elysium, he sees his family in fields of wheat. Life, death, food, love. Here we have a bunch of cartoon man gong to battle. Where is any sense of reality? Where is there even a ounce of depicting how they fought. This producer knows as much about the Spartans as any typical Hollywood producer. NOTHING.

From the first scenes I saw on this F*CK*N MOVIE, they are turned into bare chest apes with spears. I can't believe this! This is so F*CK*N SAD! This F*CK*N producer must killed as soon as possible, his body BURNED fueled by every millimeter of every tape he made. F*CK*N Hollywood, what did I expect? Reality? Even a semblance of reality? Why? How could it sell popcorn? I mean telling a REAL story of bravery for anyone who is not carrying an American flag is too much for F*CK*N Hollywood. All F*CK*N Hollywood can do is create mythology and fiction about "brave" Americans but if it comes to other cultures, they turn in into comedies and cartoons.

The day that California sinks into the Pacific is a GOOD DAY.

spartan i feel the same because i wait for 17 years to see that movie and now that ,
bud cool down im sur this will not the only one im sur GATES OF FIRE will come in future :mgun:

@THE MODS AND THE ADMINS....

Let the old warrior use any Lang he wants...in this thread...BECAUSE HE IS DAMN RIGHT....gamo to kerato mou....

I knew it I just damn knew...

unfortunelly there are more sad news bros....

The partan army is a fillthy Army...you could smell a Spartan Army before you actually saw them....some of the words I read in some "historians" statements...US made of corse...

Pathetic Son of Bitches...


But if our cinderella state dont wake up...and spend some serious money on Greek interests movies...than any pathetic weirdo will produce anything hes brainpfurt come out...

Gamo to kerato mou ...gamo

Now the Spartans smell? SMELL? A sto dialo......

They smell, the are gay, they are barbarians, they have big dicks........

For two hundred years, their enemies would shake uncontrollably and piss on themselves at the very thought of going to battle against Spartans. The entire ancient world knew of Spartan bravery, ferocity and disciplin, so much so that no one wanted to go to battle against them. They fought at Thermopile without a second thought of death. Honour was not a word, it was a welcomed death. And now they "smell".

I tell you what smells, CokaCola superman and their Hollywood. Did you know that Americans are the greatest heroes of all time? John Wayne killed a million Indians with his bare hands. Rambo could wipe out an entire regiment with his biceps. Clint Eastwood could kill a man with his eyes. Americans are the bravest, smartest, honourable man that EVER walked on the face of this earth.....ON FILM. Much like an ugly woman looking in the mirror and telling herself how beautiful she is, CokaCola superman look at their Hollywood movies and tell themselves how brave they are. It's no suprise that when it comes to other cultures, Hollywood distorts it to fit their silicone tits, rippling stomach muscles and popcorn bravery are the mark of Hollywood.

BRAVO Spartan :applause:

Uff...Damn right you are Spartan...Iam really dissapointed...and really pissed of abouted..
But as i said i didnt expect anything less...
If we dont pay/produce..give them money...we will never see our real history ...on the screen...

Indeed nice post SPARTAN.
