I'd have stood side by side with my people, Crow. In one way or another. Come on, yes, there was rejection. But if I declared war on every girl that rejected me... I'd have declared war about... Two times now!!  |

............................................................................wow. no other words really fit. the oracle's girating annoyed me as after five minutes i was bored and just wanted to see some fighting but wow! that was awesome. and then i went to see blades of glory which is a different kind of glory to a lesser level. I LOVE 300!

Two times now!! I would have too. All I'm saying is, I understand him. I don't like what he did, but the guy had it pretty bad. What I thought he should have did was take the offer and set up Xerxes. It's not like Xerxes checked any of his information. He kind of just went along with it. Eph coulda even told the Spartans what was going to happen. I was more mad that he didn't play both sides, because he could have. And I was mad that he didn't try to help them at the end, maybe get a blow in for his real king, and prove he's a hero...instead of just standing there, looking ashamed. Because we all know he's not ever going to get some after that. He sold his soul for five minutes of teasing. I think tricking Xerxes would have hurt Xerxes even more if he, "the god", got tricked... Anyway, this is me saying "DON'T CAST STONES CHARLIE!" I'm a nice guy. Really. And I wouldn't betray any of you for a room full of freakishly half-hot and half-horrific bisexual women. Honest. |

It's easy to say that without a bunch of half hot/half horrific bisexual women in front of you isn't it?  lol See, I would have just sent Eph to fight with The Greeks instead. Sure he wasn't capable enough to stand alongside The Spartans but the greeks could have used a guy who was trained in the spartan fighting style. (Since the gimps father trained him after all) |

Mikchael, you speak wisdom lol
The guy just couldn't raise his sheild above his neck, but he knew the ways of a spartan...and he could have fought for Sparta with the greeks...Leonides could have been spared a world of hurt lol

you two are ridiculous, the guy was no spartan. he was the son of some goat lover. if he was a real spartan and really trained in the spartan way he would have been in the army that simple. who cares if his dad at some point was a spartan soldier. that dude and his family are all cowards for sparing his worthless life and furthermore planting seeds of dillusions in the poor freaks head that he could actually be apart of the army in the first place. if he was really fit to fight with them he would have, instead he went and fed secrets to the other side? psh.

I think someone needs to go to sensitivity weekend. Ephi--ephia--whatever his name is, would be very offended.
Really, I don't care that much about him. All in all, the movie was awesome. But the quasimodo wannabe was a big part of the movie. I think Leonides could have avoided some trouble though had he either gotten rid of him or found a way for the little bastard to do something useful and feel useful. Because whether he is the son of a goat and goatlover, or not, he helped bring them down.
But it's okay. I hear there's a sequel: Three Hundred and One: Epi's Redemption. Check it out. Goat children are all the rage nowadays.

ok, I have to jump in here. Elphaties in history WAS the guy who rated out the Greeks at Thermoplyae. He was a local farmer who like many Greeks, joined the Perisan side as the army advanced into Greece. To this day his name, in greek, means "nightmare" and he has been a loathed figure of Greece history for more than 2,000 years.
In the story 300, Miller takes some obivous licence with this guy's past. First, he makes him a survivor of the Spartans eugenics policy. Why? Because in a story that sets up Greece as everything good and Perisa not, the Greek heroes are physically perfect. Yet this loser is not. And the reason is because he wears his rotten ethics like skin. His physical appearance is a reflection of who he really is inside.
And remember, Leonidas offers him a role - help clear the dead and tend to the soliders. But the hunchback doesn't want to be a part of the war effort unless he gets the spotlight. he wants glory for himself, unlike the 300 who want glory for Sparta, and so greece.

But the hunchback doesn't want to be a part of the war effort unless he gets the spotlight. he wants glory for himself, unlike the 300 who want glory for Sparta, and so greece. If I wanted to get on your nerves and play devil's advocate, I could go with the psychological bullcrap and say Eph (as far as 300 goes) was the negative product of the philosophy of Sparta: He was born with many problems, apparently, but wanted like any other Spartan the chance to fight for his country. Though Spartans were raised to serve their country in anyway, I also remember (When doing a term project for this a while back) that their greatest feeling of accomplishment was fighting in war for their country. Eph, in the movie, never asked for glory, but to prove himself as anyother Spartan, because that's what he was raised to believe was the only thing worth living for (until he found out about half-naked monster sideshow chicks...then fighting wasn't so important I guess). Anyways, I just debating for the sake of debating. I honestly didn't know the guy was actually real, so kudos to Miller for adding him as this disfigured character. |

I've never seen him with hair! Damn you Frank Miller, for making me argue for the freak guy! Sometimes I wonder what things are running through his head though...his designs are similar in his apocalyptic/despotic/dreadful/dark stories (300, Dark Knight series, Sin City). I think freakshow guasimodos and half naked women and at least two really pierced-up people are always having coffee and mutton in his head. |
