The cinematography is outstanding, the tale is wonderful and unforgettable, there is terrific acting, a great cast, music, and top notch sound effects, and the film is a masterpiece. It's an amazing movie. It completely shows the ancient time; one can see the ancient feel in the personalities of the actors, the clothes, the surroundings, the jewellery, the set, et cetera. The film is fantastic; it is about a war between the Spartans and the Persian army. The director has done mind blowing work in directing this movie. It is beautifully written and more beautifully shown in the movie. The war and the fighting scenes were epic. It is very beautifully shown how the Spartans and Persian army were fighting a war with their swords. The sword movements were very smooth and awesome. If you like ancient war stories and sword fighting you should watch this masterpiece. I admire this movie a lot.

(at around 26 mins) The line, "Come back with your shield, or on it," was a common phrase by Spartan women to their sons and husbands. Soldiers would drop their heavy shields when they ran, and their wives would rather they come home dead than a coward. Dead soldiers were carried home on their shields.
(at around 45 mins) When the Persians demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons, he replies "Come and get them." According to ancient historian Herodotus, Leonidas actually said that. It was also adopted as the motto of the Greek Army's 1st Corps. In October of 1835 a similar taunt initiated the first battle of the Texas revolution when Mexican soldiers were sent to take a canon from the town of Gonzales; a gun that had been given them for protection against Comanche raids. The Mexican government was concerned that it might be used against them. The settlers flew a flag with an image of a canon and the words "come and take it". The settlers won the battle.
Leonidas had an older half-brother Cleomenes, and an older full brother, Dorieus. Because Leonidas was third in line to the throne, he was sent to agoge, the traditional school and warrior training for Spartan youth. However, when Cleomenes ascended to the throne, Dorieus left Greece in a jealous rage. Later, following the Persian attack at Marathon, Cleomenes, suspected of insanity, fled into exile, leaving Leonidas as the remaining heir. Leonidas was thus one of the few Spartan kings to have ever undergone the notoriously harsh training of Spartan youth.
The script demanded that most of the male cast spend the majority of their screen time bare-chested, as per Frank Miller's original graphic novel. To adequately present themselves as the most well-trained and marshaled fighting force of the time, the entire principal cast underwent a rigorous 8-week training regime organized by Marc Twight, a world-record-holding professional mountain climber. Actors never repeated the same exercise twice, preventing the body from adapting to any one type of exertion. Gerard Butler has said that the training was the most difficult thing he has ever had to do in his life. When it was over, Twight admitted that he pushed the actors as hard as he's ever pushed anyone before, including himself.
(at around 1h 35 mins) Leonidas' final words to Ephialtes, "may you live forever," are an insult against the hunchback's desire to be a Spartan, whose greatest glory is to die in the battlefield. After the events at Thermopylae, the word "ephialtes" entered the Greek language, meaning "nightmare," or to describe someone as the ultimate traitor.
"Messenger: Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas. They may be your last as king. King Leonidas: [to himself: thinking] "Earth and water"? [Leonidas unsheathes and points his sword at the Messenger's throat] Messenger: Madman! You're a madman! King Leonidas: Earth and water? You'll find plenty of both down there. Messenger: No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger! King Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city steps. You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death! Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same! Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness! King Leonidas: Madness...? [shouting] King Leonidas: This is Sparta! [Kicks the messenger down the well]"
"Stelios: It's an honor to die at your side. King Leonidas: It's an honor to have lived at yours."
