300 vs Tehran

I didn't think anyone would believe 300 was even attempting to be historically accurate. I mean, do they really?

I liked the movie. But I also have a skewed perspective. You see, I think Frank Miller took an advanced literary technique know as 'making shit up' and applied it to a loose interpretation of history in order to 'create' a story he could call his own. In fact I never really liked the comic. I thought the art was so-so and the swinging dicks on every third panel made me mostly disinterested, regardless of how neat-o other people thought it was. None of this changes the fact that the movie kicked ass. The great action and lack of swinging dicks made it a more enjoyable experience, overall.

The real question, is the average moviegoer going to really think this is what the Persian Empire was really like? I wonder how many people are going to wonder "Why the Arabs in Iran give a shit how the Persians are depicted in the movie anyway".

That is the stupidest fucking article I have ever read. Plus, TIME magazine HATES 300 anyway. Fuck all this political bullshit. I don't go to movies to get my politics. At no time during the movie did I think to myself, "This really makes me hate Iranians" or "Iranians are 9 foot tall Man-Gods".

I must have missed the history class when they covered the 8-foot-tall fat man who had swords for hands.

Exactly. The film 300 should be looked upon as The Clash Of The Titans is - as fantasy with it's giants and rhinos out of nowhere. 300 the movie is about as accurate as Iran's recent holocaust assertations.

Just wait till Miller comes out with the Batman Versus AlQueda graphic novel he's working on.
