Charlie's Angels was a chick flick? I enjoyed a chick flick?

Meh.

Anyways, even though they got pretty good screen time, I wanted to see some more Immortals. Those armors, those guises, those weapons...pure awesomenessfulnessinsanitytothemax.

Persians are ancient day Iranians... Persians are not that light skinned. And what are you complaining for. The armies of Xerxes were from all over asia and africa. The skin colors would have run the gamut. The only real persian in the movie was Xerxes. Everyone else was just either deformed (the Immortals) or not Persian. You've no base for your claim about the Persians in Hollywood either... its like saying Germans are always demonized in movies, and hell besides this and Alexander how many movies have Persians as antagonists?

first of all persians are not ancient day iranians
read the first part only it was around 100 years their shah thought it will be nice to change their name form persia to Iran which means the land of aryans

if u wanna more about history of persia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persia
and regarding the part u said in only 2 movies iranians are showed as bad that is kinda true since other movies syriana and House of Sand and Fog are just the truth in my opinion
the ethnic groups of Iran with visual aid

hmmm. No one group is all anything. I hope I didn't imply that, because I don't think I did.

I saw Syriana... with no subs so ill pass on that, never saw House of Sand and Fog (didn't know it had anything to do with Persia either)

I feel weird talking about Persia like it still exists. No country. Anyways, ya'll ain't that light, you're not Indian dark, but you all arent that pale either. Pretty pictures though...

It was pretty shitty, in that the dialogue and acting and historical accuracy and racial propaganda was atrocious.
But it was pretty to watch.

**shautieh** · 03-16-2007, 08:06 AM

i've not seen it yet (it's not out in the theaters), but it never was intended to represent history accurately.... ^^"
And what racial propaganda are you talking about ??? historically, greeks were extremely racial to begin with, and the spartans were the worst of all (Hitler's eugenism was so much softer than spartan's)
