Iran and the film 300
As the Persian empire was not well represented in 300 (according to the Iranians -- the film was actually quite accurate; battlefield rhinoceroses notwithstanding...), they have come up with a movie of their own.
From the
Islamic Republic News Agency:
'Glory of Persepolis' goes on screen in response to insulting movie '300'
A number of experts and critics attending the screening and analysis session of the documentary dubbed 'Glory of Persepolis' said that it reflects the dignity of Iranians and Persepolis, adding that it is a proper response to the insulting Hollywood movie '300'.
The screening of a new series of films started at Nour film house of Imam Ali (AS) Religious Arts Museum on Monday afternoon and 'Glory of Persepolis' was the first film that was screened and analyzed.
It would be fun to see this to see just how bad it was. From the brief description at the news release, it sounds like a real stinker.
