I guess it displayed the Persians to appear as barbarians.

I am an Iranian ( persian)! You ask for the reason Iranians are upset about the 300! I would like to discuss it with you and others if you like! Apart from the situation of my motherland during these days which is not a very good reason to judge a civilization, we Iranians have a prejudice about our civilization ( still it is not a good reason to say that we are in good conditions at the moment) There was a time when CYRUS the Great was the emperor of the world but he was such benevolent that made the pasargad( takhte jamshid) without making slaves to do that but by paying everyone working in there! To me he was great manager in the ancient times, and in that time such democratic behaviour had been amazing!( refer to www.iranchamber.com/cyrus/curus_charter.php for his charter of human rights)
300 injured the Iranian feelings by demonstrating Iranians like beasts! What else do u expect? Anyway I wasn't angry with them, because If you dont know anything about my culture, that is my own fault not others!

Iran is just using the film against the west in weeks they will forget about it!

Well they tried to mark it as propaganda to prepare the masses for an usa attack. A bit exxagerated in my eyes.

I think 300 was quiet insulting. Iranians aren't barbarians, they aren't 9 foot giants with piercings all over their bodies, and they kicked Spartan a*s irl. Ok if you dont wanna make a historically valuable movie at least dont insult them throughout the movi the way Leonidas does. He talks to Persians like dirt, and Persians are real people that exist atm, while Spartans don't (well not the sparta in the movie). Sometimes its nice to be entertaining without pissing off a race, now I dont wanna get into politics, but dont u feel its a bit convenient that this anti-persian (anti-iranian) movie comes out at a time like this? a time where america isn't at the best terms with Iran? If you try and see it from the Iranians point of view you might see why they find it insulting and propagandist. And btw im not Iranian and I see this, so dont just say im sticking up for my country.

hello m8. I wanna say these: First of all persians didn't kicked spartan a*s in irl. They got kicked at plateae. Irl thermopiles was just a way to hold the persians until the greeks get organized. Well leonidas talks not really that dirty about the persians, at least not as dirty as they talked back in that time about the persians. Persians were considered a pain in the b*t at that time, as barbarians which liked to play god, remember that not persia, like many ppl believe, was a "superpower" but the greeks were at that time. I agree with you that persians were real ppl and not some "ninja's" like the film show the immortals. Well the mood at that time were a bit anti persian, therefor the quotes from than sound anti persian. Well however i don't thing that film can represent the history, it's just a comic film and in my eys it shouldn't be considered as insulting or anything else against persia cause it's not americas nor greece's opinion about iran it's just a film. Hollywood.

They shouldnt be upset coz
1. Its just a movie
2. They were potraited like barbarians but who is not a barbarian when it comes to you or them
3. Who is not a barbarian when you know that you out number your enemy<---Real life example

my friend was upset about this film as well. its basically just a story based on greek mythology.


parmenion (26)   ranked 36 out of 296 in 300  2 years ago

:) Yeah greek but not mythology. That battle and the following at plateae really happened.

 
8. myLot reputation of 63/100. mymoney (105)   2 years ago

I dont accept the way they have depicted Persians in the Movie. That part was unneccessary.


parmenion (26)   ranked 36 out of 296 in 300  2 years ago

Well, since it's a "comic" they depicted everything "bad" this way not just the persians. Efialtes the effores etc.

hm i think still they have right to be so, because what we see in the movie maybe true in that time not all happen, so we must respect iran right to upset to this movie..
