Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
So there's good tits in the movie and it's bad/not bad.
Does this one also contain manipulative parallels to the war in Iraq which Icesickle warned us about upon the release of the original?

Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
If you google you'll find a bunch of blogs and magazines who wrote about that.
http://artthreat.net/2007/10/300-racist-war-propaganda/
http://artthreat.net/2007/10/300-racist-war-propaganda/
Looking at larger publications, there's a world famous women's magazine called The Guardian where you can read about Frank Miller's Crypto Fascism: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2011 ... od-fascism300: RACIST WAR PROPAGANDA WITH SEPTIC TIMING
The film 300, directed by Zack Snyder, based on a Frank Miller graphic novel of the same name, is just what you would expect from the heavily freighted right-wing filmic propaganda of the post-9/11 period: the Greeks, from which our own putative democracies are descended, must fight to the death against a vast but incompetent army of Persians (those hordes of the Middle East), who are considered here unworthy of characterisation – in fact, every character in the film is unworthy of characterisation – and the noble Spartans (the Greeks in question) achieve heroism despite their glorious deaths on the field at Thermopylae, by virtue of the moral superiority of their belief system and their unmatched courage. Ruthless enemy! From the Middle East! Heroic, rugged individualists! A big, sentimental score! Lots and lots of blue-screen! Endless amounts of body parts spewing theatrical blood!
It's a barely watchable film, but what from Hollywood these days is not similarly unwatchable, when so many high-profile releases are based on a medium, the comic book, made expressly to engage the attentions of pre- and just post-pubescent boys. At least comic books themselves are so politically dim-witted, so pie-in-the-sky idealistic as to be hard to take seriously. But in the films of this era, the Marvel and DC era of Hollywood, even when the work is not self-evidently shilling for large corporations (with product placement) or militating for a libertarian and oligarchical political status quo (which makes a fine environment for large, multinational corporations), the work is doing nothing at all to oppose these things.

Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
^ i ride for the war in iraq interpretation
def gonna watch the new one at some point. i just get the impression that they didn't rly switch it up. like throw in some hip hop instead of rock, or make it alexander vs hindus or something. every successful sequel needs to switch it up along some dimension.

Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
They compare this to the Iraq war and say the Greeks are like the US army or something, yet it was the Persians who invaded a foreign country with a huge army of 100000s soldiers, while the vastly outnumbered Greeks were simply defending their homeland.Comedy Quaddafi wrote:If you google you'll find a bunch of blogs and magazines who wrote about that.

Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
^^ the Bush parallel was based on the idea of taking pre-emptive action against a perceived threat, and doing so against the explicit wishes of the rest of the governing body. the fact that the approaching threat being preemptively struck against happened to be made up of brown people from roughly the same part of the world only made it worse. your fairly logical objections based on who was actually invading what and under what circumstances were mostly ignored.

Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
There are some insanely funny theories about like that. It might even be worth a thread.
From the article in The Guardian:

Or what about the expensive and aesthetically pretentious Gladiator (2000), which I still contend is an allegory about George W Bush's candidacy for president

Re: 300: Rise Of An Empire
the fact that CQ is in here wanking off over it should pretty much spell out 300's fairly obvious metaphors and allegories
