300: The Final 300 Seconds (perhaps the most epic 5 minutes of cinematic history!)

  • Every time I watch 300 I get massive chills when I get to the ending. It is the most dramatic, terrific, exciting, stimulating, endearing, inspiring five minutes of any movie I've ever seen! The first song is "Message for a Queen" and the second is "Remember Us."
    This clip might be a little less impacting taken out of context, but prepare to be moved and give it a shot.
    Speech to the Spartan high council and army
    (aka. Dilios' Battle Call at Plataea):
    "Remember us: as simple an order as a king can give. Remeber why we died. For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments, nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple: "Remember us," he said to me.
    That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place in all the countless centuries yet to be, may all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones; "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law we lie."
    And so my king died, and my brothers died. barly a year ago. Long I pondered my kings cryptic talk of victory. Time has proven him wise. For from free Greek to free Greek the word was spread that bold Leonidas and his 300, so far from home, laid down their lives; not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds. Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called Plataea, Xerxe's hordes face obliteration!
    Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts with icy fingers -- knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of 300! Yet they stare now across the plain at 10,000 Spartans commanding 30,000 free Greeks: HA-OOH!
    The enemy outnumber us a poiltry three to one: good odds for any Greek. This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny, and usher in a future brighter than anything we can imagine.
    Give thanks men! To Leonidas and his brave 300! TO VICTORY!!"

      I don’t disagree, but there’s also this: “The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.”-Wilhelm Stekel. Sometimes you go with the first quote, sometimes the second. It’s all about picking the right fight, at the right place and time.

    I was in Arnhem two years ago and I had the opportunity to be in the cemetery where they buried all the allies and Germans who died during the battles of '44 (fighting for the strategic control of the bridges ofreció Arnhem and Nimega through which the allied army had to pass to Berlin). Well, one of the fallen soldiers of the paratrooper brigade that defended the bridge, (surrounded by Germans and without ammunition), until the arrival of the land army, had this phrase engraved on his headstone: "Go tell the spartans that we lie here obeying their words". The boy was 22 years old when he died. It's food for thought ...

      The whole film is Dilios' battle cry. That's the way to view it. He's getting the Greeks pumped up, telling them how grotesque the Persians are, that they're uncivilised barbarian monsters, that they have no honour, they're cowards, so far beneath the Spartans and other Greeks that the Greeks need not fear them, that an army of Greeks will erase this 'filth' from the face of the earth.
      That's all this film is.

      @deathstrike Před 2 lety +12

      For anyone interested, they did indeed accomplish their mission. However, the actual account of the Battle of Plates goes something like this.
      Dilios (not his historic name) went back to Sparta and did convey the king's message. But, he was part of two that were sent home and the other ridden with guilt at his cowardice for not dying with his king and brothers hung himself. Dilios did deliver the message to Queen Gorgo and the council. However, he was "disgraced" for leaving and was barely acknowledged. At the Battle of Plates, Dilios DID redeem himself and earned him a proper Spartan burial and headstone (only reserved for honorably serving soldiers and mothers who died in childbirth.
      But, Dilios was conveyed NO honors from the battle due to him being shunned. That and he also charged into battle like a berserker and did not stay with his unit. As Spartan and Agoge tradition teach teamwork and fighting for the man beside you. Dilios had no official order from Leonidis I to return and that is why he was labeled a deserter. A fate worse than death for a Spartan Warrior.

      Twas pathetic BS back then, tis still pathetic BS today. Leonidas could have easily retreated when he realised that Persian troops were beginning to march towards that mountain path. He would have saved his valuable warriors, who were an elite force and wouldn't have lost anything, not even his honour. In fact it was much harder for Sparta to lose 300 experienced elite warriors than a tactical retreat from a hopeless position could ever have been.

    Aristodemus (man Dilios is based of) was ordered to return to Sparta because of an infection in his eye, not a combat wound. Let's just say Spartans didn't take it well, he was basically shunned, "Aristodemus the Coward". In battle of Plataea, Aristodemus fought like an absolute madman, slaying countless Persians before he fell. He redeemed himself but received no special honor, because of his suicide-like berserker charge and breaking the formation

    Just got back from a study abroad in Greece and actually had the opportunity to visit the site where those 300 Spartans were buried. Written in ancient Greek, the tombstone roughly translates to "O stranger, tell the Spartans that here we lie, obedient to their laws.” In other words, they followed their Spartan code to the very end, never surrendering, and never retreating.

It was said that he fought more fierce than any other that had ever been witnessed taking countless enemies with him to his death .even in his death tho they still could not let him be and they said that he did not fight like a true spartan that day bc he fought to reckless and suicidal.

    Just imagine this... an enemy has invaded your land and you must fight back.

You send a small party commanded by your king to hold off the invaders and fight them to the death, losing everybody but still dealing a devastating blow. It's a year later and the enemy outnumbers you by somewhere between 3:1 or maybe even at 1:1. Your training makes this almost the easiest victory you can imagine. In a way you almost feel sorry for the enemy, but only for a moment - after all, they're invading your land and not the other way around so all bets are off. It's go time.

    Then someone in the back yells out "can you repeat that I can't hear you" is what every soldier has ever said during every speech ever given in real life, and in films. lol Still, I get chills watching this. Moments like this in history are what makes me wish that I and everyone else had the ability to look through a looking glass and watch these moments in time as they really happened.

    I can't stop watching. I've played thus hundreds of times over the past few days. Thousands over the years. Something draws me here again and again. Is it some metaphor for my current life?

    Aristodemus, after giving this final speech, fought in a phalanx in the ensuing engagement. He then pushed ahead of the phalanx alone and in a berserker like fashion, without any inhibition or care for his own safety, threw himself against the Persians. And there he fell at Plataea, earning Western civilization, their freedom from Persia
