Just saw 300 yesterday, and absolutely loved it. Think I might email Warner Bros today and ask why it isn't on HD DVD yet! :)
And if it was supposed to be propaganda for a war with Iran, I must have missed it. I could see the film as being being related to the Iraqi War in a way (not particularly pro- or anti-, just related to it). My guess is that people will read into it what they want, and just trash what doesn't fit with that viewpoint...
So, if it was a propaganda piece, the harem represented... big oil? Or free trade? Xerxes is nuclear proliferation, no doubt about that. And Leonidas has to has to be either the statue of liberty or Air Force One. Not sure what Ephialtes (the hunchba- uh, spinally endowed person) represents... I'm just going to randomly say the U.N. for that one.
