Taxation Is Theft

Here we go again with yet another Robin Hood movie, it looks like this story just gets remade very few years.

That's the beauty of an amazing story, I love the idea of different versions and interpretations of these famous tales that have stood the test of time. I have for the longest time loved this story in particular, and I'm actually not sure where it originated from, maybe it was my mom reading this to me at bedtime or watching the animated Disney movie with the fox. Why this resonates with people throughout the ages is because of what lies at the core, a tale about about a man who stand up against ones of the oldest of evils, the government. I have written about the misconception of this story a few times, the idea that most people today have is that Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor, but that was never the case, he stole from the government who were taxing the population to death. Taxation is theft by the government on the people, just because this was made a law of the land has never made it just, what Robin did was steal the stole money government had stole and was giving it back to the poor.

I might have gotten carried away with that so let me get to my thoughts on this trailer. I'm not sure I'm completely sold on this take of the Robin Hood story, it feels like this was suppose to be directed by Guy Richie, or they wanted to go that direction similar to the King Arthur movie he made last year. The other thing about remaking a movie is you need to make it better that what was done before, the previous movie was with Russel Crowe which was great and before that was with Kevin Costner in 1991. These were two really amazing films and sets the bar really high to out do, and from the trailer it takes a rather more comical approach than what was done before. I'm not sure this we be as good as the previous versions, lets see what happens.

This Hood gets a 6/10

I'm a bit hesitant on this style of rehash of the tale.
