Propaganda&stupidity

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2008)

I don't even know from where to begin.... I was extremely angry after I watched the movie because it represents the Persians as mindless beasts and the Ancient Greeks for great heroes. I doubt that the director so dumb not know the historical truth: the Persian Empire was the greatest ancient state which was tolerable, respected the conquered peoples' culture and religion had a well-trained and disciplined army and built so many splendid cities. The Persian culture was more advanced than the Ancient Greeks' Not to mention the racial features, dressing, rhinos, that does need comment. grphrgrgggrrrrr.... The Persian Emperors had long beards and were well-dressed. Acting was horrible, the dialogues simple. TONIGHT WE DINE IN HEEEEEEEELL..
I have the feeling that someone is trying to indoctrinate the average people how great the Ancient Greeks were. Well, they were NOT that great - the alphabet took from the Phoenicians, large part of their culture and myths from the Kingdoms in Asia Minor or the Thracians, and their "democracy" was not the current one, in fact it was an inefficient and weak system.
