The Banning of Art and the Real Monuments Men
By David Yorkshire: A few months ago, the usual suspects in Hollywood released yet another of their big-budget World War Two films, where we were treated to another instalment in that great mythology, complete with the post-modern pantheon of demons, the Nazis. I finally managed to see the film a few days ago. It is perhaps interesting, as an aside, that Germans never referred to themselves as Nazis and the term was rather an allied…
“Useful” Nationalists
By Nick Grifford: The 2006 film entitled 300 was the brainchild of graphic novelist Frank Miller and director, Zackery “Zack” Snyder.
