I'm glad that I saw the movie "300" before I read any of the reviews. Now that I've seen it twice on the big screen (at full price, mind you), I've happened across a handful of reviews or comments online. I'm not even going to touch on historical accuracy, because we know that Hollywood is not the place to turn for that sort of thing. However, many people are attempting to draw parallels between 300 and the current war or other military connections. Why sully a perfectly good action flick by trying to bring it into the real world? Isn't the temporarly indulgence of living in another realm why movies are made? Although it is human nature to make comparisons, I don't think it can serve any real purpose for this film. It's just not that complicated: a bunch of bad-ass warriors artfully presented with enough story to connect everything together. Bitchin.'
