The American movie is based on an American comic book which was based on classical Greek literature written hundreds of years ago about a true event when 300 men of Sparta (in present day Greece) fought off thousands of Persians.
Maybe there is political agenda behind making the movie but I don't think an ancient Greek knew that Americans would be fighting in the Middle East when he wrote the story hundreds of years ago!!!
If you read about Spartan military training you will find that they probably were 'he-men'- it was tougher than modern special forces training and started as soon as a boy could hold a sword.
How do you know the Persian King definately wasn't bald and gay? Did you know him personally?? Thought not.
Arabs need to study history before making stupid racist comments on history sites.
By the way, no I'm not American.

This movie had nothing to do with history, the movie business is about making money. Besides, most of the elements such as giants, monsters, etc., were fantastic and mythic. This is hardly a film that was based in reality. It's a fun, violent, action movie intended to do nothing other than entertain. The American mentality is (excuse the generalization) not to read politic inferences into "pop-corn" movies. When we hear these criticisms, I think most of us just think, "lighten up, it's only a movie." We tend to concentrate on the problems that lie outside of the cinema.
*********
In addition, I seriously doubt that two-thirds of the people who saw this movie (if not more) even know that Iran and Persia are the same place. Also, you should really know that when you make comments like this and decry movies like this, it makes you look awfully silly to us. Decry poverty, war, violence, not silly movies.

I don't think this movie is to be viewed as historically accurate. Its simply an attempt by Hollywood as an excuse for a violent sword swinging money maker.
Obviously those who make movies have no regard as to how accurate their movies are.
The Spartans did stop the Persian army at Thermopylae, that is historical fact but I'm sure it was nothing like the movie.
Chill out and take it all with a pinch of salt. Im sure no thought it was for real.

> Is it because jews hate Iranians ?
Not al all. It is because the Iranians are cry babies, and take everything as a personal insult. Get a life. The movie has practically zero basis in history. Why are Iranians so sensitive? Americans insult everyone, even themselves. Iranians whine about everything that more adults types sluff off as the garbage that it is. It strikes me as funny that after the Iranians whined like little babies about the meaningless caricatures of Mohammed, the Iranians tried to show how insulted they were by doing the exact same thing, just to see if they could upset westerners. Westerners yawned. Iranians should learn to yawn.

Get over it! If you don't like how that Persian War movie was done, start your own movie production company and see if you can make a better Persian War movie! But I'll be darned if I'm going to let a bunch of religious fanatics censor every movie coming out of Hollywood!

I doubt that it was intentional, although of course movies have traditionally been used as propaganda devices, like all pop-culture elements. It's a standard form - good guys have to be super-heroic, while bad guys have to be monstrously evil. '300' is basically right-wing porn, substituting evisceration and homo-erotism for more 'normal' human interaction - the nationalities involved could well have been purely coincidental. Try not to read too much pop politics into it, though - there are so many other ways the government is using to prepare the country for an attack on Iran, this is relatively peanuts.

It was based on a comic book! It was never meant to be realistic or to bear historical significance.
The Persian king in the movie wasn't black, he was Rodrigo Santoro; a Brazillian.

Hollywood does not depict history accurately and never will. If you had ever read the story of "Rita Hayward and The Shawshank Redemption" you will understand that even though Morgan Freeman was excellent in the role of Red, he just did not fit the description in the story.

Hello....the movie was taken from a comic book (Graphic Novel). By the way, Transformers and ET never happened either.
