Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

I can't stand Oliver Stone but this looks great. Regardless of what the film may be, the ad is brilliant. Love the Talking Heads song.
Let's hope the proceeds of this movie go to a good cause, like veterans, medicaid or the people in NOLA.
Doug, I can't wait to see the movie too.
Peter, I have no idea where the movie proceeds are going.
I want to see this one and Bill Maher's Religulous.
