83231, Once, again, denial is a bitch

IMO there is nothing okay about subtle propaganda (or racism) in media. 300 is an entertaining film and it is fascist. Too bad.
There has always been a "master narrative" in film that promotes one civilization over others and it is insidious. I am much too aware to just turn my mind off to enjoy a flick solely based on its entertainment value.
>but 300? youre just unequivocably wrong and thats all there is
>to it.
No it isn't. Let's take a look at Frank Millers other stories:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_Me_Liberty
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronin_%28comic_book_series%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Holy_Terror%2C_Batman%21%22
These stories perpetuate the status quo whether you like it or not and whether you admit to the racism or not.
