[The] film... celebrates the rebirth of the body and of community, mediated through the worship of an irresistable leader.
Through Leonidas the 300 become a community, infact the movie title celebrates this (JY)
The... film is an epic of achieved community, in which everyday reality is transcended through ecstatic self-control and submission.
If the warriors follow Leonidas and his beliefs unquestioningly they will achieve greatness (JY)
[This] portrait evokes some of the larger themes of Nazi ideology: the contrast between the clean and the impure, the incorruptible and the defiled, the physical and the mental, the joyful and the critical.
The Persians are consistently portrayed as effeminate, deviant, deformed and untrustworthy in the movie (JY)
[The film] celebrates a society where the exhibition of physical skill and courage and the victory of the stronger man over the weaker are... the unifying symbols of communal courage.
The Spartans are cool because they kill everyone and they are a tight knit group.
All quotes from Sontag on Leni Riefenstahl's book of photography about the Nuba, and they are all quotes that I would apply to the movie 300.
