I just saw the movie “300” and thought it was great. Why? Probably because we think it’s about time someone went to war and actually DID something against those who want to enslave their people, rather than sit around with their thumbs up their asses because they don’t want to conduct “war” incorrectly and be accused of being “wrong”.
Or… maybe it was because the special affects were great. The connection between the movie/comic book and actual history may have been a bit off (giants, etc), but I thought the movie had a great message. Stand up for your people… fight against slavery at any cost.
Either way, I’ve already noticed people saying it was a political statement and that Hollywood is declaring war on Iranians. Are you kidding? Hollywood is more often than not the allies for those against America. But that could just be my bitter side talking.
LINKED Article: Movie ‘300’ called an insult to ancient Persia (link broken)
The above article came out shortly after the first weekend this movie was released… I’m surprised it didn’t come out the hour after the first showing. I’m sure there are tons of other articles just like it, but quite frankly all I feel is wouldn’t it be nice if the men in our armed forces were given the ability to actually fight a war rather than play traffic cop. We have real men in our country but unfortunately they are being held back by limp wristed politicians who use choke collars on their warriors and give unlimited freedom to the media who wants to destroy our country.
Let Americans be proud again! Let Americans feel compassion freely! Let Americans care without a hot poker at their back!
Forced diversity breeds hate. That’s my new tag line.
