![]() ![]() Americans Hate Tingle: Naturally, in Iran, where the movie was condemned as Western propaganda.Adaptation Displacement: The comic was not very well known before the film came out.Given that the Persians are written as one-dimensional villains (despite the fact that in Real Life, they were actually pretty tolerant and civilized), while the Spartans are presented as heroes and in such a badass way, one could think that the movie teaches that "it's A-OK to dehumanise/mock certain cultures to make other cultures seem superior". ![]() However, some critics pointed out that in the film, Persia is a massive, wealthy and culturally diverse empire bent on expanding its influence throughout the world, while the Spartans are a small group of dedicated, zealous fighters who are willing to break the rules of war and martyr themselves to resist the invaders, which makes Persia represent the United States and Spartans represent the terrorists instead. The film adaptation of 300 is often interpreted to glorify secular, Westernized countries standing against the religious extremism and intolerance of the Middle East. ![]()
