HI, 300 in my opinion is possibly the best film that I have ever seen! It didn’t get the best reviews, which to me, is very strange. I think that it has many parts that can be interpreted in different ways, and i have a question about one of them, it may not actually be a question, but more of an opinion.... here’s the question:
When the Spartan king, King Leonidas, throws the spear at the man who refers to himself as the god of all gods, and the spear goes through the earrings on his cheek and rips them out...................... what is this showing?
My thoughts are one of these:
A. King Leonidas actually missed, showing that the Spartans were not perfect
B. King Leonidas missed porously to show him that he was not god, and the he could bleed
C. King Leonidas wanted him to live to see the final battle when they are defeated.
I understand that this question may be 100% opinion, but im still very curious on what most people think.
Thanks! -George

In an earlier ;scene, Leonidas tells Xerxes that "Today is the day, that they shall see you can bleed" That's all he wanted to prove.

Well George, i also had a trouble understanding why Leonidas missed the final spear throw, but my opinion is that he wanted to show that he missed on purpose to show the "King of Gods" that he actually was mortal and could bleed. If you recall the King of Gods would brag about immortality and how he was a very generous god. Leonidas essentially told him that before he died he would make him bleed. He failed to kill him, but he proved his point. After watching the movie five times i found that your answer "B" seems correct. Greatest movie in that specific genre ever. Far better than Troy.

his intent was to kill Xerxes, but failing that his was goal was to prove that the god king could bleed, there by reducing the moral of his troops.
historically though Leonidas was one of the first killed on that last day and his fellow Spartans died trying to protect his body.
but yeah its a good movie.

B. I think that he wanted to show that the guy was not a go but a living and breathing human being and therefore not to be feared.
