The "famous" Ron Silliman drones on and on about action films here. Personally, I prefer the crit of a Joseph Campbell doing a bit on Luke Skywalker to be honest because when reviewing a film, it behooves a reviewer to know just a teeny little bit about something other than his own frame of reference and culture. When....in the end...the mask that the Hero wears changes, the parable remains the same.
Some parables are fables and some parables are real. Those over time turn into legends. Myths occur when legends lose all the actual context of the reality in which real human heroes existed (or as the case may be, heroes who were reputed to have existed). The muslim heroes of our time are villified (Khomeini, Nasrallah, Fadhallah, Musa Sadr). People like Ron Silliman would feel foolish even mentioning them. People like him fear the mocking I suppose or worse yet, they are arrogant to such things that are evident in newspapers all around the world.
Anyway, I suppose we all have to watch SOMETHING while we are waiting for the retrospective Iraq War movies to be made by those in "Hollywood".
Personally, I'll just stick to watching Legally Blond a few more times if you don't mind. Or say, the wonderful protagonist known as V. V is half Phantom of the Opera and the rest, Mistah Kurtz. Better yet, I have this great DVD which describes the process of the seed in great detail using Quranic references. I mean, we get whole big apple trees from a packet of DNA inserted into Allah's masterpiece called the world!
The banned book in V is for Vendetta is none other than the Glorious Quran. Imagine that! No one would dismiss V is for Vendetta just because the Quran is given a starring role? Of course not! Yet they miss the real life heroes in their midst by failing to address their actual hero status and mission on this planet. Why? Because they are told such things are foolish. Batman is real!
And of course, some of us including Ron Silliman know the pedigree of Batman is Jewish. Why, Bruce Wayne (listed on Forbes 500 at a value of 6.5 billion USD) practices what we Shia are ordered to do by the much more successful hero Ali Mu'mineen and is called Taqiyya, or in gringo terms dissimulation. He does this by hiding his identy and pretending to be just like everyone else.
Maybe you are just tired of fairy tales Ron Silliman. Maybe everyone is tired of them.
There are real heroes in the world and oddly enough, you never mention them. That's because you've been trained not to. Why you even have George Bush trying to smoke these fellows out of their lairs! It couldn't be more obvious you know.
Long live the real jihadists. And you can bet your bottom dollar, Batman is on a Jihad.
You just haven't learned how to read things in other ways.
Peace on you anyways. Long live Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah complete with a pedigree all the way back to the ancients. Al'ham'du'lillah.
"But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: 'Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars' (3:61)."
