Quote:Yes, 300 is just a film, and I have every intention of seeing it, but this film should not be dismissed lightly. Film is a powerful medium with an incredible power to influence those who watch it. How many people saw Gladiator and thought it to be an accurate portrayal of the Roman Empire?
The 300 Spartans was pivotal in helping nurture my interest in classical history and in reinforcing my understanding of the importance of courage and self-sacrifice. It remains one of my favorite films. I assume I'll view this movie after it is released on DVD. I'm wary of its impact though. The membership of RAT is well-educated and intelligent. They would be discerning in these matters. However, not everyone who sees the film will have even the most rudimentary comprehension of the true history behind this comic book interpretation. I'm afraid some of the viewers will have their (mis)understanding of these events completely shaped by 300...
