So what's it REALLY about? The subtext. That's under that subtext... but it blatantly obvious once the credits roll, or before, like in 300.

Here's Hollywood summarized plots for our enjoyment Smile

Awesome! Those actually made me lol pretty hard. My favorite without a doubt is:

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE: Religious extremist terrorists destroy government installation, killing thousands.

So wrong, and yet so true.

Runner up has to be:

THE WICKER MAN: Isolated religious community revitalized by newcomer.

BATMAN: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill.
CLERKS: Aimless loser remains in dead-end job, abusive “friendship
DONNIE DARKO: Hallucinating teen crushed by airplane engine.
FIELD OF DREAMS: Schizophrenic builds ball park, almost kills girl
THE GOLDEN COMPASS: Critique of Catholicism upstaged by polar bear fight

These are my favorite. Some of them just kinda snark bull, trying to put a unPC spin on something thats not really a summation of the story or concept.
