Movie Synopses Spartans are born warriors –Infants are examined at birth and if they are found to be undesirable, then they are cast off a cliff –Children are taught from a young age to be physically fit and to fight

King Xerxes of the Persians comes and threatens King Leonidas and the Spartans King Leonidas refuses to submit and seeks religious approval from the Ephors and the Oracle to go fight the Persians They do not give a blessing but King Leonidas takes off w/ 300 of the finest men

King Leonidas and the soldiers march to meet the Persians and camp out at a cliff A man who has a hunchback follows them and asks to join the army

Battle – bloody and gory –The Persians brought in “monsters” to fight King Xerxes brings in the man who has a hunchback and coaxes him to give up the Spartans by offering him women, money and power The man who has a hunchback gives up the Spartans and all 300 die

“300 white guys from a militarist eugenist sexist child-abusing society valiantly defend the narrow pass of Thermopylae against the progressive, racially, ethnically, ability and sexually diverse (albeit power-hungry) Persians in this gorgeously-filmed action-packed bloodfest.” –John on

Portrayal of people with disabilities –Eugenics –Ephors are viewed as greedy, dishonest, and perverse –Man with a hunchback is viewed as weak physically (can’t fight in battle) and weak morally (tempted by the enemy with women, money, and power) His weakness is what led to the defeat of the Spartans –Any Persian with any physical difference is viewed as a monster that needs to be contained unless fighting against an enemy
