Video: Was Robin Hood A Libertarian?

Last night I watched Ridley Scott’s magnificent ‘prequel’ version of Robin Hood (portrayed by Russell Crowe) at the HBO.

Here is the video of Robin Hood’s stirring speech on Freedom: “Liberty by Law”.


I noticed that classical liberalism seems to emerge as the du jour theme on some movies, e.g. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) has tinges of anti-taxation (movie quotes here).

Are these movies conveying blossoming sentiments of the public?

More movies of this genre would certainly put awareness to classical liberalism/libertarianism.
