3/13/07 A few words on the unethical movie 300 produced by Warner Brothers Company of USA By Abolfazl Moghadam
One more time the world is witnessing the true face of hypocrisy and disrespect towards other cultures by a few who would put their profits before any kinds of rules of decency. One more time the world is witnessing the distortion of facts, unethical behavior of directors such as Zack Snyder.
It would not take much time for a reasonable man and woman after watching this movie 300 to well qualify Mr. Snyder and his irresponsible film studio, namely Warner Brothers, as the most successful candidates to win the top prize of insulting, disrespecting the Iranian (Persian) culture and the Iranians all over the world.
Have these people forgotten the civilization that Persia brought to the world? Probably not. They know the facts well. Their attempt in making such movie is nothing but assassination of characters. Even if they wanted to read the history, the most they would chose to go for a reference, would be no one but the Herodotus who fictitiously claimed and distorted the history and reported that the 300 Spartans stopped the Persian Army for 3 days! No one of course would be so much surprised as Herodotus was a Greek himself, and apparently Herodotus was not ready to reflect both sides of the coins, in a fair and equitable manner.
The fact is that the world's intellectuals whether be the Persians, or non Persians, those whose hearts are filled with the love of Persia, Persian poetry and civilization, those who appreciate the great contributions of Persians towards the world's culture and science, would understand that the movie 300 is nothing but a distortion fact machine. The irony is that in the movie the Persian King which supposed to be King Xerxes has been portrayed as someone with an African complex! The movie scenario is gravely equipped with tons of ill information and ignorance which is once again the manifestation of Mr. Snyder's and Warner Brothers' ignorance on the true history.
They could have done a better job, had they set aside their feelings of hatred towards the Persian culture and civilization. They could have better written the manuscript for the movie, had they known that, or cared to read about the first Charter of Human Rights by Cyrus The Great (550 B.C), and the impact it had on the human behaviors of many countries of the time, including Greece.
I have no doubt in my mind that the world would make its own judgment at the end of the day; that the movie 300 is an absolute manifestation of ignorance towards the Persian civilization, a complete facts distortion mission, a total disregard towards the human dignity, a complete disrespect and insult towards another culture and civilization, and finally a miserable move by the producer and people alike, in trying to save their troubled life by constantly manufacturing and portraying false events, so to make up for their own inability to move forward, and have positive progress.
Although the damage has been done, but Warner Brothers and Mr. Snyder must be courageous enough to withdraw the movie from the market impromptu, rectify the malicious misinformation and misrepresentation that have constituted the very inches of the movie, and apologize to the Iranian communities all over the world.
It sounds like Persia (Iran) is whining like the French. Something like “we used to be great, so make allowances for what we are today”. PLLLLEASE give me a break. History is history. The Greeks were brilliant in kicked some serious butt.
Nice Whining Post Meg!
---'It seems ironic that Iranians can be absolutely certain of a battle which took place 2,300 years ago, but are confused about the holocaust which took place 65 years ago.----
Hahaha!! So TRUE!
Well said!
This sure is a lot of b*tching coming from a country who's Persian -Zorastrian culture was wiped out by Islamic invaders, who will still chop the heads off of anyone who dared "revert" back to Sun god worship, turning their backs on the Islamic moon God Allah and his daughters Al Uzza, Al Lat and Manat, who Mohammad affirmed were Allah's legitamate dauthers, literaly chips off the block (black rock)

For anyone who MISSED it in the credits, the movie is based off a COMIC BOOK, not a history book.
Maybe Iran could make a movie about how the Persian (Iraqi) Revolutionary Guard stopped the evil forces of the Great Satan for two nano-seconds each during Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom
Considering that the Mohammadans sacked and razed every Zorastrian temple and bured every book in the Persian empires libraries.
Any history of the Persian empire comes from whatever was written and peserved outside of it.
As others have pointed out, it's laughable that some angry Mohammadan would take issue with an animated fictional movie produced by Hollywierdo's about a Persian empire they destroyed and tried to permanently erase.
Further, anything an Islamic nutjob states as "fact" probably isn't, as Islam tries to distort history in order to put it's bloody savage barbaric history in a more favorable light.
Unfortunately for Islam, an evil blood cult created by Satan (Allah) in the dark bowels of hell, any light shone on it reveals it's true nature- it's simply too evil to be covered up.
Excellent point! And don't forget rap "music", MTV, slutty pop "singers" like Madonna, etc., when talking about putting profits before decency....
"Have these people forgotten the civilization that Persia brought to the world? Probably not. "
I assure you, all we have to do is look at the backward goat-humping civilization Iran is today to remember what Persia brought to the world.
"I think it's time for a prequel...about how the Persians got their clocks cleaned at Marathon by another smaller Greek army. "
If anything, it's just as heroic. After whipping Persian butts at Marathon the Greeks force march 22 miles across the peninsula and stopped the fleet. Now that is bad ass.
I usually wait to watch films at home now that my system is better than the theaters. But now I will certainly be buy a ticket or two.
Pssst! Hey Abolfazl Moghadam; No we haven't, and it sure didn't resemble the goat and camel humping, and (Ayatollah approved) baby raping you see practiced by the diaper-wearing prostrators in Iran today! that is the "civilization" (if you can call it that) that Mohammad's followers brought.
To all the foreigners upset about "300".
Everything produced by Hollywood is fiction, even (or especially) that which they claim is non-fiction.
I haven't seen "300", but am willing to believe that it insults the ancient Persians. How many times do you think Hollywood has produced a movie that insults Americans?
I suggest you just get over it. If you feel you just have to do something about it, I suppose you could do the Islamic thing and start killing movie makers.
