Iran Angry About 300 Movie Posted by ARMAN , Monday, May 21, 2007 at 5:30 AM, in

Iranians are up in arms over the release of the recent American blockbuster, 300. The film, which is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, retells the story of 300 Spartans who fought against an enormous Persian army in the Battle of Thermopylae. According to Time magazine’s website, some Iranians are saying “the movie was secretly funded by the US government to prepare Americans for going to war against Iran.” One alleged newspaper headline seemed to sum up the feelings of the nation: “300 AGAINST 70 MILLION!”
