300 (2006): Spartan Childhood

The clip Spartan childhood from 300 (2006) with David Wenham

When the boy was born like all Spartans, he was inspected.
If he'd been small or puny or sickly or misshapen he would have been discarded.
From the time he could stand, he was baptized in the fire of combat.
Taught never to retreat, never to surrender.
Taught that death on the battlefield in service to Sparta was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life.
At age 7, as is customary in Sparta the boy was taken from his mother and plunged into a world of violence.
Manufactured by 300 years of Spartan warrior society to create the finest soldiers the world has ever known.
The agoge, as it's called, forces the boy to fight.
Starves them, forces them to steal and if necessary, to kill.
