300 (Zack Snyder 2006)

Is 300 a racist film? Is it an allegory for the current events in the Middle East? Is Leonidas, the king who, with 300 of his best Spartans, bravely resisted for two days the attacks of the Persian king Xerxes and his hundreds of thousands of men, none other than Dubya? Or is Xerxes George W.?
300 is none of these things. It is simply a visual treat with no other pretensions, I believe, than to deliver some quality action driven entertainment. Anyone seeing more than this into 300 is probably looking too hard.
