300

[Hidalgo]

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!"

That sounds like pinko commie talk to me lol

Seriously though, if your thinking that hard about this movie then you have missed the point. Its a good old fashioned testosterone soaked joygasam of violence and agression.

This movie makes you want to yell SPARTA, and then punch the guy next to you. This and fight club are the only movies that I have ever seen that made me want to commit an act of violence, and I own the Friday the 13th box set.

The political overtones are there, but you have to remember this was not written today, its based on a graphic novel thats been around a while. And in all seriousness you could see the U.S as the Persians if you wanted to, just depends on how you want to view it.

Besides its not very accurate anyway,
The spartans had about a 1000 alies by the time the final battle was faught, and Spartans did engage in homosexual acts, they werent the homophobes that miller paints them as.

In the end its just a bad ass movie. The concept of 300 guys taking on 10 times as many guys is just cool. Its Rio Bravo and the Alamo all rolled into one.
