Purpose - 300

Purpose: '300' is "A film whose primary purpose is to entertain the male ego." The intended audience of Zack Snyders '300' is presumably older teens 16-17 and those including this audience who have knowledge or a basic idea concerning the events of Thermopylae or Classical history. The audience of older teens will consist primarily of males, we can presume very few females of this age would be interested in this type of film, except possibly those who have an interest in the ancient world. Older audiences of the film will again probably consist mostly of males, the intended older female audience would be more interested in the drama aspect of the film.
