I am an Iranian. A descendant of Cyrus The Great. The very emperor who proclaimed at the pinnacle of power 2500 years ago that "... he would not reign over the people if they did not wish it." And he promised not to force any person to change his religion and faith and guaranteed freedom for all. The Charter of Cyrus The Great is one of the most important documents that should be studied in the history of human rights.
The luminaries of Iranian literature, in particular our Gnostic literature, from Hafiz, Mowlavi [better known in the West as Rumi] and Attar to Saadi, Sanaei, Naser Khosrow and Nezami, are emissaries of this humanitarian culture. Their message manifests itself in this poem by Saadi:
"The sons of Adam are limbs of one another
Having been created of one essence".
"When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest".
Am I monster? Am I satanic creature? Am I wild? Am I animal? Am I ugly? I'm not a good human? Who am I?
Why do this movie show Iranian people as bad humans or satanic creature?
Do Mr. Snyder apologize Iranians?
Why not?
Aren't we good people?
I wans to ask you something,
All of Iranians = Islamic Republic government of Iran ?
But let me tell you that I am an Iranian, a descendant of Cyrus The Great.

I hope you don't think this movie shows the truth. The producers want to receive money but why did they show ancient Iranians as monsters and uncivilized people? Why did they want to humiliate and to ridicule us?
All of Iranians = Islamic Republic government of Iran ?

It is a well known fact that cinematized versions of history always portray the antagonist as barbaric, cruel, bloodthirsty etc. And seeing that this movie is more an adaptation of the novel than a Historical, its not surprising that the persians have been portrayed thus. I don't think people who are aware of the dramatization which is standard practice in movies, will read too much into the behaviour of the persians.
The Movie has high production values and entertainment value but scores a zero on facts and certainly does perpetuate racist negative stereotypes. For an alternative view, check out: three w's the shahnameh dot com
