300

OK, I saw the movie yesterday and I want to raise a few points. First, I liked it a lot. There’s a lot to enjoy about this movie from the perspective of a White man. The movie underscores manly and Pagan virtues such as honour, loyalty to your comrades-in-arms, total and unquestioned obedience to your leader, discipline, physical beauty, strength of character, will to power, ruthlessness in combat (at one point in the movie King Leonidas shouts to his troops: “we’re taking no prisoners and we’re showing no pity!” (or words to that effect), indifference to pain and suffering, and, most of all, death itself. Actually, the Spartans aren’t so much indifferent to death as they welcome it. Indeed, we’re told at the beginning of 300 that the Spartans believed that the noblest death a man can encounter is on the battlefield. I also loved how the 300 not only praises Spartan eugenics but its greatest villain is a deformed and physically ugly (repulsive, really) Spartan whose parents refused to discard him at his birth out of a misplaced sense of weakness and sentimentality. (Did I mention that it’s a deeply anti-Christian movie?) The ogre in question turns out to be a reprehensible traitor whose treason is ultimately responsible for the Spartans’ defeat at the hands of the effeminate Persians (they appeared to have a peculiar predilection for massive body-piercings), portrayed in the movie as a luxury loving and debauched niggers and mongrels (I didn’t see a single White face among the corrupt Persians, while the Spartan Greeks are exclusively lily White). Only through their overwhelming numbers and the hunchback’s treason could they defeat the racially and morally superior Spartans. Finally, I believe that the 300 got some bad reviews (for example, see here) because of its very obvious celebration of the warrior-ethic and, as pointed out above, overall political incorrectness. See trailer here. I give it 4 stars out of 5. Go see it!
