ReplyDeleteQ1. No, they did not look like Japanese ninjas. The directors wanted to make the movie more interesting to earn more money from the audience and to tell them a good story.
ReplyDeleteQ2. Yes, this battle really happened. In the true history, not only 300 men fought the battle. The Greeks fleets led by the Athens held off the Persians, together with the Spartans which may have added up to thousands more warriors.
Q3. No, he did not look like that. That directors only wanted to entertain the audience with his body and face piercings.
Q4. No, they did not only wear that little for battle. They wore body armor such as chest plates and leather skirts. It was a valuable asset for them.

1) They do not look like ninjas but look more like wizards but the directors want them to look like that to get scary to look more like immortals to scare and make the movie more exciting.
ReplyDelete2)It probably can happen, depend on what type of weapons they and their enemies use and their battle stratergies
3)No he do not look like the original one because they cant really look like the original one which will be quite hard. Or the director wants the characters to look more scary or match the movie.
4) No they did wear armors to protect themselves. Mostly, people wear very little for battle is for those people in black

(Question 1):
ReplyDeleteDid the Immortals really look like Japanese ninjas? If not, why did the directors want them to look like that?
Answer 1:
I think the director wanted to give the audience a kind of thinking that the Immortals are as mighty and as brave as the Japanese Ninjas
Question 2:
Did this battle really happen? How could 300 men fight so huge an army?
Answer 2:
I think that they are quite exxagerating and sometimes they just wanted happy ending...
Question 3:
Did the "God-King" Xerxes really look like the one in the movie? If different, why did the directors make him to be like that?
No...I thj=ink that the directors make him to be like that becuase they want him to look like some kind of loyal and fierce
Question 4
Did the spartans really wore so little for battle? If not, what did they wear?
answer 4:
i think that the spartans wore so little because they wanted to proof that the peopl are brave and fearless
1.
ReplyDeleteNo,they simply just don't wear like ninjas and they even don't have a decent Armour. The only reason why director want to make use their cool mask and shiny armour to attract people to watch the movie.
2.
The battle took place but not only 300 Spartans fight at Hot Gates,it include a few thousands of Athenians and it is fight on sea.Also, it is true that all 3
00 Spartans died fighting there that in the end make all Greeks to unite and defeat the Persians in Plataea,
3.
No, but instead he had no piercings at all just a long beard.The directors do this is to use all piercings to attract audiences to watch the movie.
4.
No,instead they wore a lot. They were dressed full armour from head to toe in a very special
style.

ReplyDeleteNo, they don't look like Japanese ninja. The directors want them to look more cooler, more stylish in order to attract more people to come and watch the movie. By making them look more cooler, audience watching the movie will be more focus rather then getting bored.
2)
Yes, the battle really happened but instead of only 300 spartans fight, there are Greeks fleets led by the Athens held off the Persians. They fought together with the Spartans. They added up to have one thousands of warriors.
3)
No, he does not look like the real "God-King" Xerxes. The directors want him to look more cruel, by just looking at his face, we know that he is the mastermind behind the war. In the way of making the look of Xerxes more cooler, it attracts the audience to watch.
4)
No, they did not wear little, they wore a lot. They were heavily armored and wore metal plates from head to toe.

1. No, they don't look like Japanese ninja. The real Immortals wrapped cloth on their faces but if the movie Immortals also wrapped cloth on their faces,it would look werid and silly because normally people would expect Immortals to look horrific and wear shiny masks to hide their horrific faces.
ReplyDelete2. This battle really happened but there are more than 300 men who fought in the battle. There are more than 1000 men who fought in the battle and Spartans men are very powerful because they were trained since 7 years old.
3.No. The real God-King" Xerxes did not very powerful and even his voice was strange so to make God-King" Xerxes look powerful and cool, the director had to change his apperance, size and height.
4.No. They did not wear so little for battle. The real spartans wore chest plates and leather skirts. Thet also wore helmets with plumes.

ReplyDelete1)No the persian immortals didn't look like japanese ninjas although underneath their robes they wore scale mail coats.
ReplyDelete2)This battle really happen at the pass of Thermopylae other known as 'The Hot Gates'. About 7000 other troops of the allied force fought together with the 300 mens who guarded the pass.
3)No the real 'God king' Xerxes didn't look like this, the real king No. The real Persian King Xerxes had a beard, was much shorter and does not have nose piercing and jewelwery adorned on him.
4)No the spartans did not wear so little for battle in fact body armour is one of the important and valuable asset for the spartans

1)No, they did not look like Japanese ninjas. The directors just want to make the movie more attractive to attract the audience and can earn more money.
ReplyDeleteQ2. Yes, the battle happened in the true story. It deoends on the plan they have to attack the enemy and what kind of weapin they used.
Q3. No, he did not look like that. The directors just choose the most suitable person to act out the play. He just want the person to be fierce enough to frighten the audience so that the audience will not be bored.
Q4. No, they did not only wear that little for battle. They wore body armor to protect themselves, inorder not to be injured so easily.

ReplyDelete1)No, the actual immortals did not look like japanese ninjas.The director only wanted the immortals to look evil,cooler and scary as if they were demons.The director wanted to clearly differ the good and bad people and to make the audience interested.Like that,he could had earn alot of money but after all it's their job to do that.
ReplyDelete2)Yes,the battle did happen but in true history there was some interference with the battle.They did go with only 300 men alone but they were helped by the country Athens so we can tell that they did not fight with just 300 men alone.
3)No,he did not look like the real one.The director just wanted the actor to look godly if not,why is his name "God-King" Xerxes?The director wanted to tell the audience that "God-King"Xerxes was extremly important that is why there were so many accessories equipped with the actor.The real person was totally different as in the picture,there was no accessories around him.
4)No,they did not wear so little for battle. The website stated that body armor was a valuable asset to the real Spartan soldiers.Spartan soldiers,wore chest plates and leather skirts.When in full regalia, were almost indistinguishable except at a very close angle.
1.
ReplyDeleteno the real immortals soldiers did not looked like a japanese ninjas. the director only want people to think that it is evil and scary by modifying some of its actual structure as if they are monsters. he also wants people to know who is in the evil side while who is in the goody side the evil people usually have a hideous look and the goody people usually have a peaceful king of look so by doing this the director make the audiences not to be confused or rather able to see clearly who is evil and chaos and who is good and unite
2.
yes the battle really happened but there were not only 300 soldiers there are 7100 of them which the soldier then told the persian that they have 30000 of them. it is true there are only 300 spartans but there are also soldier from other states and in the movie 300 soldiers were all the spartans soldiers but in actual fact the spartans have 300 soldiers at the hot gates while the most of the others were busying fight in the other areas.
3.
No,he did not resemble the actual one.The director just wanted the actor to look godly if not,why is his name "God-King" Xerxes?The director wanted to say to the audiences that the "God-King"Xerxes was very important that is why the reasons there were so many accessories equipped with the actor that acts as the king.The real person who was the actor was totally different as in the picture.
4.
No,they did not wear so little for battle. The actual history facts says that body armor was a valuable asset to the real Spartan soldiers.Spartan soldiers,wore chest plates and leather skirts.When in full regalia, were almost indistinguishable except at a very close angle. in this way the spartans might be wearing ever better clothes then the persian army which usually wore nothing except shorts so in contrast the spartans actually have better equipment then the persian army that is why the can last a battle with so much persian army fighting against the spartans so in actual fact the spartans were expected to last fighting so much persian army for so long

1) No, they are normal-looking guards and do not resemble the Japanese ninjas. He wanted them to look in that fashion as perhaps he wanted them to look scary and powerful and a group of elite soldiers train to kill so as to highlight the power of the army the Spartans were fighting and ultimately, to attract more viewers.
ReplyDelete2) Yes, the battle did happen. They did so as they had good body armor and they had allies from Athens and the rest of Greece and they also have slaves fighting alongside with them in the battle.
3) No, he did not. The real Persian King Xerxes had a beard and was much shorter. The director did so as to make Xerxes as fearful and godly as possible; he also wants to tell the audiences that Xerxes was a very rich and wealthy king as he was covered in gold accessories.
4) No, they did not. It was mentioned in a website that body armor was a valuable asset to the real Spartan soldiers and they wore chest plates and leather skirts in actual fact.
