YMMV / The 300 Spartans

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Themistocles of Athens and Pentheus are both immensely memorable characters.
• Moral Event Horizon: King Xerxes' orders to have the women on his own side killed.
• Spiritual Licensee: The Frank Miller miniseries 300 was directly inspired by the film and it serves as it's unofficial comic adaptation. It got to the point where some regions simply retitle the movie adaptation as if it were a remake.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: As previously stated, the film is seen as a Cold War allegory.
