This movie was awesome in the special effects department, but it really... REALLY sucked in the story department. Wow, I couldn't even find another pro-Bush Administration propoganda than this movie. It's like the 300 Chipendales verses the freakin' Persians for like 90% of the movie.... seriously.
Correlations to Bush Administration.
1. Spartans go to war without Senate approval.
2. Along with #1, "I'm not going to war, I'm just taking a stroll, and these are my 300 bodyguards." Leader's deception into war.
3. "Freedom is not free."
4. Recurring theme to push the effort to send more troops.
5. Spartans show no fear, while allies (Arcadians) are a bunch of scared pansies.
6. Senate has a few corrupt members (well, that's probably true for almost all administrations).
Well, there are more, but these were the easiest to write down. Anyways, I felt the underlying message of the movie at the end were... "Send more troops, and we will win!"
