Fantastic movie. Too bad Iranians are getting all bent out of shape about it.

Javad Shamqadri, art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, told Fars news agency that the film [300] was an insult to Persian culture and in line with the American "psychological war" against Iran. Iran has called foul over what it calls "deviation of history" but also because the Persians in the film were shown as "ugly and violent creatures rather than human beings. "

The news network Khabar organised a special programme in which the film was evaluated from several angles by film critics who argued that the film's alleged efforts to expose Persians as violent was a US political plot implemented through Hollywood and the Warner Bros. company. The state-run network also linked the film to ongoing political differences between Washington and Tehran such as the nuclear dispute.

A large number of Iranians abroad have already started a worldwide email campaign to send protest missives to Warner Bros. for having insulted Persian culture and history.

I won't even comment.. I might insult someone.

PSSHHH it was a War in 400 BC.

Seems like in the movie the Persians tried to peacibly have sparta subcide ti them. Of course not everyone wants to be ruled. So Spatra said no with a big foot to the chest.

persia wasn't really the biggest challenge, so the movie wasn't so 'wrong'. but afghanistan was hell, and ultimately destroyed his army's morale
