Spartans The Last Stand Of The 300 DVDRip XviD-HOLDEM
Group HOLDEM came with a nice rip of a History Channel documentary “Last Stand Of The 300″, which was aired on TV. As you can probably guess, it has some connections with extra popular movie 300 – this documentary tries to explain the historical background of the movie, which wasn’t too historical accurate. The main aim of 300 wasn’t to teach the history but to entertain, so if you liked it, this documentary can give you a deeper look about the situation preceding the 300 movie.
In the year 480 B.C., the Greeks and the Persians fight one of the most famous battles in history at a place called Thermopylae. Here, the mighty Persian war machine, which has conquered most of the known world, will attempt an expansion into Europe. The only thing standing in their way will be an army led by 300 Spartans, the greatest soldiers the world has ever known. They will fight to the very last man, and in doing so will protect the cradle of democracy during its infancy, and the battle will go down in history as the greatest military stand of all time.

Fu*K You best movie in the 21 century
I love this movie so much Power in ever scen!!!
The History Channel usually does interesting documentaries, I’ll give it a d/l.
rate it for what its worth i never heard about this and im in a good college its better to know about it than know nothing about it.
Old news. It has been released a long time ago, around a week before the theatre release of 300 (the movie).
Pathetic documentary, the comparisons and the way they express themselfs is just, well let’s say “American”.
Don’t get me wrong, many Americans do have quite the vocabulary and know have to express themselfs, the people in this documentary does not.
Avoid if you want to see serious documentaries.
P.S: Please pick apart my spelling errors and grammar so all the readers can see how juveline you are.
Totally agree with Benke!!

there you go, showing your true nature..
Well that article contains a lot of historic inaccuracies as well. It’s the Persian’s view on the subject.
Besides, the movie is based on a comic (which is more accurate than the movie, as it doesn’t contain monsters). Nobody said it was historically correct. It’s a good movie though.
As for the conspiracy theories, the comic came out long before the terrorism craze and america’s plan to invade Iran.
Read Herodotus, maybe then you’ll learn some history.
Je-he-sus.
First of, about the link to the forum thread, I must say I am astounded as to how well Persians (yes, fine, I am using the original poster as an average, but even if it is just him, I can’t imagine him being a history Ph.D. and posting on “tweakguides.com”) are versed on their history, not to mention English (and how friggin’ articulate they are). Also, there’s a couple of fun bits of information in the post. But most importantly, it goes to show that the fact that you acknowledge that you may be seen as overly sensitive doesn’t make you any less so. It *is* just a fucking movie, dude. Get over it.
Second of, as to the documentary, it scares and amazes me that anyone can produce and tout this as a documentary, or that the guys who spoke in the movie would subject themselves to the roles of supporting such a ridiculous film (oh, dear capitalism) which comprises pretty much a poorly done action whateveryouwannacallit with some “good degree” of historical accuracy and a really unoriginal soundtrack. Unlike any other documentary I’ve ever seen (and I don’t mean that in a good way).
I watched the whole thing to get some of the facts right (mostly, I wanted to know how the whole historical background came to be without ever laying hand on a book), but it was indeed a somewhat excruciating 1:30 hours.
@eth1r
I agree with you on the documentary, but the first point you made was actually kind of ironic, holding in mind the fact that the original poster of that thread knew people would say things like that. Maybe you have to be Persian to understand how such things come over. Iran has been portrayed as a country full of devil worshippers ever since Bush made his axis of evil speech. Nobody seems to be interested in the history of Iran and why it became the Iran it is right now (Google operation Ajax and learn a bit of history: aimed at the general public, not you in particular). Anyone who knows a bit about history acknowledges the Persians as civilized people with great accomplishments. We know of enough historical facts to legitimate a movie about the good things about ancient Persia, Cyrus the great, but we sadly don’t see them. This in fact has a lot to do with the east vs. west sentiments going on for a while now. When a movie is produced and millions of dollars are invested, they want to know how well the public is going to receive the movie. 300 was simply a movie in which the Americans could identify themselves with the Spartans and where the Persians (the same word is used to refer to people living in Iran now) are portrayed as children of Beelzebub. This sells and they knew it. Sadly a lot of people are influenced by this and this is shown on the Internet like the Persian guy mentioned (I have seen it as well, so don’t tell me it doesn’t happen). Whether the movie has had any influence in the way people look at Persian in ancient history and at the present time is something I don’t have the time to investigate, so people like you are always allowed to say: “It *is* just a fucking movie, dude. Get over it.”, but I do know what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan and that I don’t want the Americans to invade Iran and do this to my family. Whether I would have said the same things about this movie if I wasn’t a Persian, well…. I certainly hope so, or at the least I would try to put myself in their shoes….

Heredotus? If you only knew a little about that guy, you would know not to get all your info from him. The guy lived in freakin Persia, because the Persians could tollerate critics. The glamorizing of the Spartans is even shown in the documentary, so go get your facts straight dumba$$.
nebula, you have proved all the points that guy made on that forum. Thank you for this, thank you very very much.
Why does this neocon propaganda piece keep popping up… go read the war nerd’s review of the movie, definitely a comedy!

THIS IS A PROPAGANDA MOVIE AGAINST IRAN AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. BOYCOTT IT, DONT BELIEVE IN IT AND EDUCATE YOURSELF!
“Oh to be a king and walk the streets of Persepolis”…I read this in a text years ago, that there used to be a tradition, each year, the king must walk, without guards and unarmed, thru the streets of the capital, enough said.
I wonder if our princeling of a President would survive such a test, or if he’d even have the courage to try.
@dwadaw: I was kind of wondering where you were from until I read the part of your post where you say (imply) you’re Iranian. That explains a little bit of your open-mindness towards my post. But it makes it somewhat shocking how you came crashing down on nebula.
As for my post, I was kind of hoping the irony would be stripped out when I said I realize what the original poster said, and I still thought he was being too sensitive about the whole thing.
It’s that I don’t believe the movie is totally wrong. It’s not that I don’t know that Americans are completely ignorant about many things and still don’t care. It’s just that I think people ought to be more reasonable and realize that no-one is about to convince Americans they’re wrong. After all, they’ve got their whole government backing theirs views. And who is some Persian guy to say otherwise? (Sorry, I realize how retarded that sounded, I was just making a point).
And lastly, I agree somewhat agree with nebula that the conspiracy thing is kind of farfetched. (I reallly do think one purpose of the movie is to reinforce the whole evil-middle-eastern conception, but I think of a conspiracy as something done in secrecy. This is just plain obvious)
Oh, and by the way, the thing that shocked me most about the documentary is that they do care to mention (during the movie, at least, didn’t read the credits) any of their sources. What’s up with that?
Best of luck to you, dwadaw.
Are you fucking kidding me- the half of you (more intelligent half it seems) are upset in the least bit about the movie?
Sure, it’s bias, it depicts Persians everywhere and so on and so forth, but come to fucking terms; it’s a movie.
It’s not trying to educate you in the least bit about the battle. Don’t you think if it was, they would have put a little less money into effects and a little more into true facts and history.
It’s a real fucking shame nowadays, everyone’s has to be on their tippy-toes not to make any fucking irate black person, gay person, jewish person, persian(LOL) person, white person, female the least bit uncomfortable or upset.
Fuck that. Go watch the Passion; then cry about something.
This documentary turns really catchy history into pure boredom. It repeats itself all the time. Some good books sum this up on 10 pages, these guys need 1h30mins and thousands of bad cgis. Booooooooooring!!
