Wow. Do people (of all religions/nationalities/ect.) just sit around a look for things to get offended by? Or claim insult by?
I highly doubt, like Muezzin said, that Frank Miller has some grudge against Iran. And to show his unpleasant feelings towards them was going to write a graphic novel, and years later make it a movie to throw it in their face. C'mon.
Hahahahahaha! Iran offended from a movie? Should Israel be offended by a claim of wiping them off the map? What a joke! The country that offends all who disagree with it.
I guess part of the matter is that Iranians are a proud nation, and part of their past that was not the best is being shown to large audiences. Specially now with certain war clouds looming over Iran...
Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy. This last sentence is of course rubbish as the Spartans were famously governed by an oligarchy and were very much the antithesis of Athenian democracy. Written by Simon Stevens
In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 100,000 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 170,000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected as a local shepherd named Ephialtes defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.

In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, and 300 of these soldiers are chosen to meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them. Written by rmlohner
Looks like some people will not like Millers other work...

now that you mention it both the Battle of Thermopylae and Battle of Badr fall under the same category IIRC,that is the ones called last stands.
saw it in wikipedia.
eh a question.was Xerxes the First dark-skinned?
I saw the movie and I have to say it was pretty good. It would have been better had they made it a little more realistic though. I saw nothing to make the Iranians mad though
