Nothing better than an uninformed opinion. not. YES YOU DO NEED TO SEE THE MOVIE TO KNOW IT'S CONTENT. The content of your post bares that fact out. Here is a classic example. You say "I have other thematic issues with glorifying Spartan culture with little exposure of its core brutality." Dude the enitre opening fifteen minutes does nothing but expose with tremendous accuracy it's core brutality. The first scene shows the grave yard for disposed babies that don't pass inspection. They go on to show an 8 year old Leonidas and another kid beating each other to near death and then it shows a forteen year old Leonidas being flogged. Dude, you clearly DONT know the content of this film. Case closed. You are dismissed.
Follow Ups:
Couple little points about the Spartan heroes; their princes (i.e., Leonidas) were exempted from the abusive elements of training; and all Spartan warriors had to stalk & kill an unsuspecting slave...not a wolf. (BTW; Xerxes had to kill a lion.) I won't even go into their bizarre social/family relations except to say after a boy reached seven, his full time home was with his barracks buddies; including after marriage.Back to the movie; evryone is entitled to an opinion, and there's plenty of material out there on "300" short of sitting thru it for 2 hours. I just don't understand the fanatical loyalty to this thing.
