In fact, they shouldn't have been speaking Latin at all.

Thee were roman soldiers in the movie too, not only jews

The soldier whipping Jesus counted in latin every time he whipped Jesus

as in

-quinque!

-argh!

-sex!

-aaaarrrgh!

-septem!

-aaargh!!!

-octo!

-aaargh the pain!

etcetc

And there were also dialogs in latin , for example with herod etc

latin aramaic and hebrew were spoken in the movie

I haven't actually seen the movie, but I read somewhere that the soldiers shouldn't have been of the Latin-speaking variety.

Brachy_Pride: I think someone else may have pointed that out already earlier in the thread.

It looks like it's close to the source material to me.

Well, but Pontius Pilate did speak Latin, so it wasnt completely wrong, I dont think it was a serious mistake anyway

I wish Mel would make a christians vs muslims movie, just to see leftists go ape****


Like " The Battle of Lepanto" spoken in XVI century spanish , venetian, church latin and turk

Oh, that source material. Nevermind, then.

Blame Herodotus

[Lorizael]

I know, but there's no modern historian who believes those numbers.

[DinoDoc]

But it makes for a damn interesting story.

[Lorizael]

I won't argue with that. I enjoyed Sin City, so if I can stop myself from getting angry because I think I'm so intellectually superior for knowing there weren't a million Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae, I'll probably enjoy 300, too.

I saw the trailers a few months ago. Been waiting ever since.

I do not look to Hollywood for historical accuracy, I'm just interested if it makes a good story. And the story from a historical standpoint has a lot of potential.

I've been looking forward to it ever since my son forwarded the link to me a few months ago - the visual style looks very cool. I'd compare it to Hero. Taking a historical event and mythologizing the hell out of it.

Very over-the-top - in a good way.
