300 - MP4 MOVIE DESCRIPTION/PLOT

The Spartan Dilios narrates a story of Leonidas, chronicling his journey from a boy to king of Sparta. Years later, Persian messengers arrive at the gates of Sparta demanding it submit to King Xerxes. Leonidas and his guards kick the messengers down a well. Knowing this will prompt a Persian attack, Leonidas visits the Ephors—ancient, leprosy-ridden priests whose blessing he needs before the Spartan council will authorize going to war. He proposes they repel the numerically superior Persians by using the terrain of Thermopylae (the Hot Gates), and funnel the Persians into a narrow pass between the rocks and the sea. The Ephors consult the Oracle Pythia, who decrees that Sparta must not go to war. After Leonidas departs a messenger from Xerxes appears, rewarding the Ephors for their covert support.



Leonidas follows his plan anyway, setting out with only 300 soldiers, which he calls his personal guard to avoid needing the council's permission. Though he knows it is a certain suicide mission, he hopes the sacrifice will spur the council to unite against Persia. Along the way to Thermopylae, the Spartans are joined by Arcadians and various other Greeks. At Thermopylae, they construct a wall to contain the approaching Persian advance. Meanwhile, Leonidas meets Ephialtes of Trachis, a hunchbacked Spartan whose parents fled Sparta to spare him certain infanticide. Wanting to redeem his father's name, he asks to join Leonidas and warns him of a secret path the Persians could use to outflank and surround them. Though sympathetic to the eager warrior, Leonidas rejects his request as Ephialtes cannot properly hold a shield, which would compromise the Spartans' phalanx formation. Before the battle, the Persians demand that the Spartans lay down their weapons. Leonidas refuses, and with their tightly-knit phalanx formation the Spartans use the narrow terrain to repeatedly rebuff the advancing Persian army. Xerxes personally approaches Leonidas to persuade him to surrender, offering Leonidas wealth and power in exchange for his loyalty. Leonidas declines and Xerxes sends his elite guard, the Immortals, to attack them. The Spartans successfully dispatch them, but Ephialtes defects to the Persians and informs them of the secret path. When they realize Ephialtes' treachery, the Arcadians retreat and Leonidas orders Dilios to return to Sparta to tell the Council of their sacrifice. Though Dilios had recently lost his left eye in combat, he is still well-fit for battle, but Leonidas decides to use Dilios' unique gift for storytelling to appeal to the Spartan council. Though reluctant to leave his brothers behind, Dilios leaves with the Arcadians.



In Sparta, Gorgo, Queen of Sparta reluctantly submits sexually to the influential Theron in exchange for his help in persuading the Spartan council to send reinforcements to Leonidas. Following her address to the Council, Theron publicly betrays the Queen, prompting the councilmen to cry out in outrage and Gorgo to kill him out of rage, spilling open a bag of Persian coins from his robe. The Council agrees to unite against Persia. Meanwhile, at Thermopylae, the Persians use the goat path to surround the Spartans. Xerxes' general demands their surrender, again offering Leonidas titles and prestige. Leonidas seemingly bows in submission, allowing one of his men to leap over him and kill the general instead. Furious, Xerxes orders his troops to attack. Leonidas rises and hurls his spear at Xerxes, cutting the King on the cheek, thus making good on an earlier promise to make "the God-King bleed." Visibly disturbed by this reminder of his own mortality, Xerxes watches as all the Spartans are slaughtered by a massive barrage of arrows. Moments before his death, Leonidas pledges his undying love to Gorgo, his queen and wife.



The motion-picture show 300 was great and it was stunning. Its better to view 300 on the cinema rather than to watch 300 movie online. Rare site provides you to download 300 movie online but i think thats criminal.Downloading 300 moving-picture show for free in full length online is just a waste of time because it needs too long to download.Sometimes watching out 300 film online is a slight fuzzy in quality, and it tends to end and re-buff at times.

In- Cinema viewings of 300 motion picture is FAR superior to that online crap.

Movie Theatres have splendid surround-sound and obviously the screen is much huge, so your immersion into the atmosphere of the 300 movie is way greater than hunching over a computer screen.

Ok, think they streamed 300 movie online and relayed it to a big monitor (or even through a projector) and hooked-up their computer to their 214-channel speaker system. It is as yet impossible to recreate the visual depth and sound quality you have at the theatre in a 300 moving-picture show one can stream or even download through the internet. They probably watch a version of the 300 film in reducedresolution (which *murders* detail in the 300 movie ) and lowly audio quality. Further more in sound, most computers (unless especially equipped) are not well-adapted to recreating even dual-stereo sound, much less the 5.1 Surround Audio got in theatres.

The all-important reason individuals watch 300 films online is so that they can brag to friends that they looked a 300 movie online (on a site *you* don?t know about) before you did. They'll likely chastise you for wasting money at the theater when you can enjoy the same moving-picture show at home base. While cinema fees are getting ridiculous nowadays, I am a much opt the quality movie-going experience that the theater provides.
