It’s kinda sad though that anyone would take 300 seriously. In that way it perfectly fits in this topic. Why make more out of 300 than it obviously is? It seems like you can’t make any movie which is a bit over the top without people getting a bit offended. I don’t know if that means that movies like 300 shouldn’t be made at all. I mean, that’s life. You get offended sometimes. Don’t look to be offended in every corner. Especially not when looking at a movie like 300.
But I am afraid that you are right…and that a lot of people can’t tell the difference between being offended on purpose or something that happens to offend them, because they look at it in a certain way.

Personally I don’t find the movie offensive. I don’t find such stupid things offensive. It’s not worth it. What I’m trying to do is express that some people of Persian background find it offensive and have valid reasons. Thus “intellectualizing” the movie without being “assholes”. Because, it actually effects them on some level, whether it be simply self esteem or societal perceptions. Basically, some people have valid reasons to read into movies, and while you don’t have to agree, some respect should be shown to their individual grievances.
