What's the last movie you've seen? (user search)

300. Fairly Boring aside from the visuals, which were amazing obviously - and is it just me or aren't all of Frank Miller's films at their root core just very god damn conservative?

300, achieves what many had thought impossible: making a case for Bush’s war in Iraq so clear, distinct, and fanatical that I half expected an Army recruiting station to be erected at the theater’s exits. It’s the cinematic equivalent of a battleground orgasm; a homoerotic parade of tight abs, facial hair, oiled chests, leather, steel, gritting teeth, and phallic weaponry so overpowering that it’s just about the best movie ever made with jingoistic intent.

Lol. I wasn't thinking of Iraq at all, but the attitude that Miller shows in his films strike me as... well... fascist, to say the least.

I fail to see the real connection, other than a made up alarmist one, esspecially since about 70% of the people I know who really liked the movie are libs.

It is a fact, BTW, that "Eastern" and Western cultures are distictively different. Most of you woul dprobably not like to live under an Eastern way of thinking, esspecially not before those cultures were injected with Western thought. The fact that the Greeks first took a stand against, and then defeated the Persians is the reason that we have real philosophy, real laws and we don't all whorship kings as being gods. I don't see what's wrong with just accpeting that fact. And it is also a fact that Sparta was an uber-militaristic culture that, unlike the Persians, fought because they wanted to, not because they were forced into it by a "god-king".
