Review of 300

Poonany's Thoughts

Sexual Content
Extended love scene between Leonidas and the queen viewers can see her nude breasts. The adolescent Oracle writhes and sways while wearing a sheer cloth that reveals her breasts. A character unwillingly has sex to procure a politician's favor. Although no nudity is shown in that scene, the aggessor whispers menacingly: "This will not be fast. You will not enjoy this." Xerxes' lair is depicted like an orgy, with various half-dressed Persian women kissing, moaning, and having sex.

Violence
Over-the-top battle-scene violence, including graphic decapitations, severed limbs, mutilated bodies piled high, arrow-filled torsos, etc. Young Spartan boys are forced to furiously fight each other. The Spartan mottos are "No retreat, no surrender" and "No prisoners, no mercy."

Language
Colorfully worded insults like: "motherless dogs," "philosophers and boy-lovers," etc.

Social Behavior
Even in the face of sure defeat, brave soldiers stand firm against tyrannous threats to freedom. A corrupt Spartan councilman is exposed as a traitor and brought to justice. Some stereotyping based on Asian culture, as well as one character's physical disability.

What more can you ask for really!

8/10
