300 - What did everyone think?

[Narukami]

its only a comic book. I only hope everyone who watched it remembers that.

I'm afraid that's a distinction not recognized in countries like Iran, cf. the first official Iranian comments... Now I think that American movie-makers are allowed to ignore Iranian opinions, but the timing of this movie is rather unfortunate - at this very moment, Iranians and Americans are having their first formal meeting since the revolution.

Jona,

It is a distinction I'm not certain many Americans will recognize either.

Thanks for the link -- I do not buy the Minister's line of reasoning. This film was motivated by a comic book that was inspired by an old Hollywood film that was inspired by an event in ancient history -- I doubt very much this is part of a plot again the present government of Iran, bad timing not withstanding.

Even so, your point is taken. If Iran is smart they will ignore it and it will all pass quietly soon enough. In fact probably as soon as May when the next Spiderman movie or other block buster opens demanding our attention and our money.

Iran wants to do the world a favor -- make better movies. :wink:

Thanks again for the link Jona.
