A Persians take on the 300 to my fellow Persians!!!

Rating: 1/10 (16 March 2007)

A fairly accurate account of the 3:1 Persians vs. Spartans battle of Thermopylae. But rather careless in setting any foundation for how the Persian Empire united thousands of nations, over 70 million strong, & how it brought peace and stability to the region. Also, there is no historical account that there were any African Persians. If it wasn't for the arabs burning all the libraries we could prove this; but yet we still embrace their ideals today & take pride by turning our backs at the past pagan monarchs. When our ancestors allowed this they should have realized that one day the world would only have the ability to account for our history from the libraries of others.
On a different note, people that know Frank Miller understand that he always twists historical events for his story lines. It's funny how everyone is suddenly pro Persian Empire. I think the movie is forcing Iranians to examine their long abandoned history for the first time. Now how could that be bad? I personally find myself with a grin of despair every time I here the words "I am Persian" from Iranians that have no clue what it means.
Persians, for gods sake find yourselves already!!! At the very least know that even before the Empire your ancestors were known as people from the land of the Lions and the Sun; and that FAITHS were a part of equal CIVILIZATIONS and not the other way around.
