There are two sides to any story. Often there are two very different narrations depending on which side the storyteller is standing by. This is more pronounced when you look back at the events in the history, as there are fewer unaffiliated narrators. Ancient civilizations, Persians, Greeks, Romans,... had lots of conflicts. Depending on who's telling the story the villains change to heroes and heroes to villains. It's very difficult to remain neutral in here.
Now, I as a Persian, with an obvious biased opinion, find the movies 300 a story told extremely biased. A group of Persian bloggers have started an attempt to provide an insight from another point of view to the ancient Persia. I support their effort. 300 the movie

the funny thing is that some people like it because they find the persian emperor in the film a cartoon picture of J.W.Bush!
Anyway, who knows what happened 2000 years ago? and when I see Iranians cursing movie's director, producer, etc. in their emails to them, I feel that they are proving the movie was not off that much after all :)
Well, what did you expect? When we chose the lead character of the "Planet of the Apes", as our president, without paying a penny as the copy-right or royalty, we should have expected that the Hollywood would take revenge one way or another.
