From a distance, this is a Hollywood blockbuster, and from a distance, it is an extremist propaganda film.
300 this movie, to be precise, 300 this cartoon (the blueprint of the movie), is full of fascist elements.
1. Nationalism.
2. Strong social Darwinism.
These include eugenics, racism,
3. hatred of enemies (often aliens),
4. beautification of male body shape and martial spirit,
including rejection of homosexuality
.... The
righteous are a group of white men who kill weak infants. They were tall and handsome, muscular, brave and invincible, as if they could not find any flaws, and their traitor was a severely deformed horn. Very busy enemies, dark-skinned Middle Easterners, they are ugly, ugly, mysterious, and evil. The king may even be an intersex person. (To be honest, this reminds me of the stereotyped images of people of color, especially blacks and Asians in Europe and the United States) After
watching the movie, I yelled "Damn! It's too obvious!!" I immediately checked the cartoon online. The author, as expected, he is the out-and-out fascist fanatic of tm. Look at what the guy said in an interview on NPR radio,
"Nobody questions why we, after Pearl Harbor, attacked Nazi Germany. It was because we were taking on a form of global fascism, we're doing the same thing now ... It seems to me quite obvious that our country and the entire Western World is up against an existential foe that knows exactly what it wants.... For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we're up against, and the sixth-century barbarism that they actually represent. These people saw people's heads off. They enslave women, they genitally mutilate their daughters, they do not behave by any cultural norms that are sensible to us. I'm speaking into a microphone that never could have been a product of their culture, and I'm living in a city where 3000 of my neighbors were killed by thieves of airplanes they never could have built."
What he meant, to put it plainly, was "Our Western culture is superior to you, and you are barbaric and ignorant, so I will destroy you." This can be regarded as unabashed propaganda. What's ridiculous is that he is still under the banner of anti-fascism. At this moment, when I think of Triumph, how can people be so shameless? Hollywood, I would rather you produce ignorant garbage than evil against humanity.
