Greg McCracken- 300

To me, the movie 300 was about how man can make religion weak. In the two examples of religion found in the movie (the Greek halflings and the Persian god), the religion in question was shown to be weak. The Greek halflings on the mountain were told to be senseless and greedy. Even the oracle at the top of the mountain was proved wrong, since she said that Sparta would fall and no such thing happened. (Yes, Sparta lost the battle, but the city of Sparta was not taken over.) The king of Persia considered himself to be a god, but he could not defeat 300 human men with an army of 2 million. Even at the end of the movie, he bled, showing weakness. The movie is not sacreligious by any means, but the movie does bring out a great point about how human beings can really hurt the power of religion.
