300, The movie ...

I have not seen 300 yet. I am waiting for screening to start on cinemas in Norway, but the pictures I see on internet and the reviews I read makes me feel not bad but not good either ...

I believe in democracy as the best achievement the humanity has reached ... But do we need to lie about history to make it bigger and look better ??? Do we need to show another advanced ancient civilization, savages, to make democracy look better ???

Those who are called and showed savages in this movie have done alot for humanity ...

• Their fathers built the first chapters of human rights in the world,
  
• They are inventors of the first real state in the ancient world ...
  
• They were the most advanced civilization in the ancient world
  
• First super power of the world that connected east and west, economically, politically and culturally ...

Democracy is great, is one of the best achievement and of course the real foe of Iranian old type of monarchy, but can the culture level of two lands beside each other that have been in communication all the times, be that different ? Xerxes pictures are on the ancient walls in Iran, Does he look like what they showed in 300 ? How come Alexander, the conquerer of the old Persian empire, who ruined all democracies of old Greece and the libraries burner in Iran, deserves being called THE GREAT !!! but a king from Iran should be showed savage because of attacking one Greek city ? What I said up here is not defending Xerxes, but defending the culture of my home land in front of invaders ... We were not savages and history witness that ...

One sided media, I call this way of showing history ...

Cyrus the great
Xerxes
Alexander the great
