300
I saw the movie '300' recently. I know the movie has a lot of hype. I'd like to say I was thoroughly entertained by the film. Even though it revolves around war, which usually repulses me, I was intrigued by the nature of these warriors. I found it interesting the depiction of selflessness in the movie. I am always in awe of people who give of themselves for the greater good of others. I wish I would do that more often. It is interesting how this vision of selfless love is so profound. As a Christian, I was repulsed by 'The Passion of the Christ' and how this depiction of brutality was meant to reveal my savior. I actually think '3oo' does a better job at showing the selflessness of the cross. Recently, i have thought more about selfless people i have meet over my life. I keep coming back to my experience on the cruise ship. I was blessed to meet so many people that truly gave of themselves to others. I just want to thank Sandy, Kari, Jodi, Clea, Kathy and so many other who embodies a selfless life for me. My life is better because of meeting all of you

Interesting take on the movie. I've avoided seeing it because it's by the makers of 'Sin City' - a movie that I thought was void of any value (apart from the 'look' of it, which was impressive).
I too share your concern with The Passion of the Christ, which was excessive. We've had the conversation many times about how interesting it is that conservative Christians jumped on the board the publicity train for Mel Gibson's movie. Clearly the presentation of a violent God does not worry this group of Christians. To me that is scary.
