I'll say this. The movie isn't subtle, but it doesn't have to be. Sometimes stating the obvious is the last thing we'd expect in today's society. This movie is real art, because it appeals directly to that aspect of the human soul which few Americans even care to acknowledge these days. That part which knows that the thing that truly sets man apart from beast is that to a man, there are things more important than life itself. That's the legacy Leonidas' three hundred left us, whatever the failings of their society in life.

This guy is awesome. He did a great job articulating the basics that shouldn't even have to be spelled out.
I wonder how our shameless Left will respond to this and how this will be presented in the drive-by. Thanks for sharing this link.
[OT] Also, that soldier is hot.

A Lt. Nichols USN LIVE from Baghdad wants Webb and other politicians to support the mission. Please email him this site. Wouldn't want Webb to disappoint the Military.

I am very glad 300 came out now. It speaks a language young men understand. It is about time!

Please do what a Free Man should do. Support the Mission. Please sign up if you haven't. Lt. Nichols, all our Military, needs our support. Bnelson44 provided us with the Military site and a Civilian site.
Thanks BN44 for being there!

That's the rumor. ;) But I'll be going for all that allegory. Yup, that's why I'm going. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)

I haven't seen it yet but this Freeper did.

"I live in a conservative area of NJ. I went to see the movie last Sunday night in a small town hoping to avoid the crowds (I hate when people talk during movies). It was packed. The vast majority of theater goers were buzz cutted, well built young males and their dates who left the theater pretty pumped up. They were unapologetic to say the least."
I found that paragraph very heartening.

Just signed the one for the military. As an Afghanistan veteran, it's the least I can do.
