Review of 300 (2007) by Johnlavitt — 23 Jun 2007
Welcome to Republican fascism presented in the form of a video game. Everyone who is colored, gay, ethnic, different or pierced is evil, and all the white guys are good and majestic. They imply the Spartans were different from the "Athenian boy lovers.
" In truth, the strength of the Spartan army was bulstered by the ultimate loyalty and courage produced when fighting side-by-side your lover. The Spartans were as homoerotic as any of the ancient Greeks, but they simply focused that energy on war and combat.
This film is frightening in terms of the future implications of Hollywood action genre storytelling.
