New spoof film portrays Western epic as a huge joke
Grade Z schlock hacks Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have released their latest toe curlingly bad spoof, Meet the Spartans, which, among other things, mocks the ancient Spartans as a bunch of prancing homosexuals. The release of a film like this is an interesting cultural phenomenon, giving us a glimpse at the insecurity and fears of those who rule over us.
The film is based on the hugely successful 300, an adaptation of a graphic novel by Frank Miller which told the story of the heroic http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=177 in healthier days.
Meet the Spartans stars such creatures as the grotesque Carmen Electra and the obese Ken Davitian, who appeared in the Eastern European hating film Borat. The most “controversial” scene depicts the Spartans going off to war singing “I Will Survive,” which is a “gay anthem,” in line with modern Hollywood’s need to find “homoeroticism” everywhere.
Meet the Spartans is reportedly so bad that it is unlikely to have much long term effect, and modern pop culture in general is disposable, with no lasting value. Still, this kind of crass portrayal says a lot about the resentment and hatred felt in Hollywood, and other centers of power, against any kind of white expression. The need is there to subtly (or in this case, both blatantly and artlessly), http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3255 and lampoon anything we as a people take pride in or hold dear.Again, nothing like this would be permitted against “politically protected” groups.
This destructive urge is seen in Friedberg and Seltzer’s other work, which parodied Narnia and the Harry Potter films. As portrayals of European folklore and ancient belief, both http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3274 clearly left Zionist Hollywood with a sense of unease, especially considering how popular each was.
Things like Meet the Spartans are also reflected in other http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2549 are added to the calendar. White historical figures like Thomas Jefferson are also scorned, while the “dark side” of the European experience is highlighted.
In films, such denigration is often done subtly, as seen in the original 300, which falsely showed the white http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=65 with black leaders, and made Xerxes out as a freakish transsexual. Kingdom of Heaven, an openly antiwhite film about the Crusades, made the historical white traitors into the heroes, showed the Muslim leader Saladin as a tolerant pluralist fighting intolerant Christians, and dressed American blacks in chainmail. A similar portrayal occurred in Oliver Stone’s epic Alexander. Alexander the Great’s queen, Roxanna, is played by Rosario Dawson, who is of Puerto Rican, Cuban, black, Irish and Indian descent. Obviously, such racially mixed people did not exist in 327 BC, but that’s not the point; even when we are allowed to see portrayals of our own history we have to be given a subtle lesson in political correctness.
Another interesting thing about Meet the Spartans is how it makes flip references to various pop culture icons and movies. The idea is that we, the viewers, are so entranced by Hollywood and so in thrall of its cultural importance, that we are engaged and fascinated by its spectacular goings on. The sad thing is that most people know more about http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3201 than about King Leonidas, and for that we should thank people like Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.
