Further Filmic Musing
Having watched a film, I like to look it up on IMDB.
Far and away the most entertaining bit of IMDB is the Parents' Guide. I'm never sure who contributes to these things, but it seems there are a number of helpful souls put there who spend their time watching films just to count the swear words, catalogue the assortment of naked body parts and record the amount of blood and gore, before rushing to a computer to warn the rest of us about them.
Helpful as this undoubtedly is, I do think the reviewers of "300: Rise of an Empire" may have been just a tad overly concerned about protecting fragile little minds.
Amongst the detailed chronicling of the vast quantities of blood and gore, and notable occurrences of violent sex, someone really cuts to the chase about the most disturbing part of the film:
"In two scenes, women lead armies in sea battles..."
Oh, the humanity! Won't somebody think of the children?
