I'm sorry for bringing this sucker on life-support, but I forgot to bring it up earlier.

Did anyone think this had some underlying political message on the "war on terror" or anything? All that talk about fighting for freedom was just a bit over the top. It really hinted at the war, in my opinion. But I don't want to ruin an incredible film like this with analysis.

In most instances I would agree and be the first to cry "OMGF COMSPEARACY!" But, I'd have to let this movie slide for ethnocentrism or political propaganda, as it comes directly from a comic book (graphic novel, for those of you who don't want to be looked down upon for having a comic book). One of the archetypes of comic books is simply that the protagonists and antagonists are set in stone. The antagonist must represent every single aspect of sin, where the protagonist must represent all that is good.

If one tries to watch 300 and mistake it for an overglorified history lesson (i.e, most of our "historical" war movies) then yes, there's political propaganda against Persians.

However, if one watches 300 for what it is, a comic book on the silver screen, then there's really no sort of bias at all.

I don't mean to be all controversial, but isn't the man responsible for the 300 comic book and movie also the mastermind behind this little gem?

I beg to differ. If Batman can defeat Arnold and Arnold can defeat a Predator, then Batman wins by default.

I hear there's a database of sorts that we should look at for such information.
