Hollywood’s Baby Boomer leftists are still stuck in the anti-Western rebellion of the 1960s, and they are the ones who are now hiring a new generation of writers and directors to ruin all these classic Western stories today. It is a deliberate effort to undermine everything we believe in so that we will then be persuaded to believe their political propaganda. And no, they have complete contempt for Greek mythology (and anything else that is part of the traditional Western canon) because they consider its stories of individual heroism and divine favor too damaging to their efforts at secular collectivism.

At least “300,” as you point out, stayed true to the mythic/heroic dimensions of what the Battle of Thermopylae has meant to the West. Let’s hope that more creative figures like Frank Miller emerge in the film industry to undo the damage of the cultural revisionists.

What I would truly like to know, however, is why Hollywood insists on expunging all supernatural elements from the story of the Trojan war, and for that matter taking the side of the Trojans. The entire story ceases to make sense if the gods aren’t involved and simultaneously loses any value. I would dearly like to see a Frank Miller Troy film: he seems to get the point: the important thing about the battle of Thermopylae, even at the TIME, was not the fact so much as they myth and the inspiration it provided to all Greece. By treating Thermopylae as a myth he did it more justice than any of the more ‘realistic’ attempts. Conversely, Hollywood tries to make Troy movies ‘historical’ and about geopolitics.

Oh, and a final note to Hollywood: get your grubby paws off King Arthur. I don’t particularly care if a historically ‘real’ Arthur would have been a grubby Romano-Celtic semi barbarian, that is not the point of the story. You don’t have to exactly mimic Excalibur, but look up the words ‘knight’ and ‘chivalry’ before you start.

I don’t know if it’s because there is Islamic money in these films – I just think Hollywood is just doing all this on their own. Anyway, lots more on this subject coming up.

One wonders how much Islamic money is being invested in Hollywood behind the scenes these days to keep the old propaganda machine going. Of course, it’s entirely possible that Hollywood isn’t getting any money and are just doing this on their own – which makes them a really cheap lay – but we knew that.
