Normally, I would read something like this and go "Aw, COME ON!" However, when I saw "300," and Queen Gorgo said, "Freedom is not free," I thought, "Aw, shit. Did I pay $7 for a 'Let's Roll' production?"
Apparently, I did. From the "hoorah" bellowed by the Men's Health/Muscle and Fitness White Guys to the effete, sybaritic "Persian" Xerxes, this movie pretty much seemed like a veiled screed extolling the virtues of white masculinity (see, the whites have DEMOCRACY! and FREEDOM!! even if we don't really see any evidence of either in the film).
