300: Rise Of An Empire, another anti-Iranian movie

That is true, but I sincerely doubt that such consideration will impress Hollywood and inspire it to make historically and culturally correct movies.
Thanks, Master-of-Meanings!

For crying out loud, CV.   You must be the only person left on the planet who fails to grasp the meaning of the word "Hollywood", which is not and never has been to accurately present history but solely to make money by doing whatever it takes to sell movies.

This would be the very same Hollywood that infamously cast John Wayne as Ghenghis Khan, and that says it all.

If history has taught us anything, and apparently it has not, it is that there are no good guys or bad guys, just various civilizations with differing philosophies and ambitions, some of which meet our current 21st century morality standards and most of which do not.  What we still fail to comprehend is that those civilizations met the morality standards of the time, period.

Thus, slavery is meaningless, since it has been around since the dawn of time and is still practiced widely throughout the world.  Military conquest through savagery and brute force likewise is as old as Mankind itself.  It was widely practiced for centuries by the most modern and inventive ancient empire of all, the Roman empire.

Mysogynism is still with us, widely practiced by the Muslim religion, interestingly the religion of modern day "Persia", i.e., Iran, and the Asian cultures, otherwise highly advanced for their time.  What was Japan, after all, in terms of ancient practices, if not one of the most barbaric and repressive on the planet?

Moaning about Hollywood's representations of history is as useless as complaining that Playboy bunnies aren't "real women" - in other  words, everybody knows that - what's your point?

So, oh lowly one, more of your usual pendantic nonsense then.
