Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Big Picture It’s safe to say that there’s not another filmmaker working today whose work has been quite as polarizing as Zack Snyder’s. While he’s been praised by some as a bold auteur who challenges traditional notions of storytelling, his overused physical gimmicks and bland writing in projects like Rebel Moon and Justice League have been sharply critiqued by others. The debate over Snyder’s style has been bolstered any time he’s had the opportunity to work within established properties.
300 RActionDrama King Leonidas of Sparta leads 300 of his best warriors to defend Greece against the massive invading Persian army led by King Xerxes. Outnumbered and facing insurmountable odds, the Spartans make their stand at the narrow pass of Thermopylae, using their superior tactics and fighting skills to hold off the Persians.
300’s lack of historical accuracy isn’t necessarily its major problem. There are plenty of beloved historical biopics that fictionalize aspects of the true story for the sake of making a more entertaining film. However, 300 is coded with deeply xenophobic stereotypes when it comes to the Persian characters.
