Abolfazl Moghadam - "Waaah! Waaaah!"

[Richard Axtell]

Oh, it was "Herodotus who fictitiously claimed and distorted the history and reported that the 300 Spartans stopped the Persian Army for 3 days!" So, the author has historical bones to pick with even the 1962 20th Century Fox production of "Te 300 Spartans". He wants us to doubt that 300 fiercely motivated professional soldiers could hold off a Persian army of hundreds of thousands for more than 3 days. Would he also have us believe that those three days did not give the Athenians the time to assemble a fleet and deploy it, and subsequently defeat Xerxes navy at Salamis? And would he have us doubt the final and decisive victory by the Spartan led Greeks over the remaining Persians under Mardonius at Plataea? Distortion of facts indeed!

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!

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)

I made this in 2000 .... now the Persians can read it and kiss my a$$.

For anyone who MISSED it in the credits, the movie is based off a COMIC BOOK, not a history book.

[S.O.L.]

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

[FastCoyote]

"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.

[Liberty Valance]

Hey Iran!

[3niner]

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.

[Dick Vomer]

Hey Iran....

Our kids can kick your a##

Iran is a Muslim country.

Why do they care what some ancient king did?

[CholeraJoe]

See tagline.

[vetvetdoug]

Saying that the beliefs, bravery and morals of the Persians were the ancestors of the current Islamofacists of Iran is like saying donkeys are the ancestors of the hogs. There are no connections...the Persians were an ancient peoples that the current residents of Iran don't even remotely resemble in genetics or beliefs.

[TASMANIANRED]

Iran's connection to Persia is they share dirt.

Nothing else in common.

[HKMk23]

...rectify the malicious misinformation and misrepresentation that have constituted the very inches of the movie,...

So, Moghadam, what you're really trying to say is that this is a "size" thing. Sorry, Mog, can't help ya. But I can forward you a whole bunch of email from people who claim they can. Good luck with that.

How long before Warner Brothers is hit by some act or terrorism?
