I think that 300 was a great film for a variety of reasons. The lessons of bravery, quality and loyalty are all strong messages that the film conveys for sure. There is also the idea that even the little people can stand up to bullies in the world. Our world is full of bullies and all too often they are able to do whatever they want because nobody will stand up to them. In this movie, the Spartans would not be bullied into servitude the way that so many nations had been. The stood together for what they believed was right and even in the face of death made it known that the bully was wrong. This bravery led to the inspiring of others to stand up and fight back. For a movie that has sometimes been criticized for being so graphic, there are a lot of great messages to take away from it.
