Re 300: "In the days of the Spartan 300, there was NO other option but Victory...and it's the same today. The difference is, some of us don't either understand that, or don't acknowledge it" my husband said as we left the theater.

We FINALLY had a chance to see 300 tonight. Local theater still was half full, even after nearly a month on the screens here.

Both the VDH review and remarks, as well as this from LIBERTAS, seem to say it all to me.

300 rejects this view and rightly so. The film understands that we celebrate heroes because we dine on the fruits of their sacrifice. The greatest of these fruits is liberty, more precious than life itself. And when we glorify the heroes who defend our liberty with their lives, it reminds us too that we must live in responsibility to them, not only in our actions but in our philosophies as well. Every day that we preserve and cherish our freedom is a monument to them, a sign that they are not forgotten. They are never forgotten.
