all the people that say this film are racist are fucking cunts.

no one has made an argument yet for why it is racist that has held any meaning whatsoever.

its all "they're black" no mufucker they are all races...did you watch the movie? they are black, white, asian, everything. they are slaves taken from every corner of the globe, hence they are all races.

if you say this movie is racist you are a racist.

its a piece of fantasy. and in fantasy anything goes. american films have a history of turning black and other non-white ethnic groups into monsters in their films. it has to do with ways of looking at others in ethnography. it goes all the way back to nanook of the norht. king kong did this with the islanders for a rudimentary example.

but in this film these "exotic" peoples are of all races. and the greeks are greeks. who are for the most part pretty fair skinned. did you expect them to cast all greek actors for an english speaking film so it couldnt be construed as black versus white crackery pale whites?

you people talking this racist shit are mental midgets.

as for the metaphor for the conflict with iran argument, ill say this. the movie is a historic fantasy. the theme here is "live free or die" and that is the metaphor we see for the entire film, it is beaten into our heads over and over. and imo that is a damn good message and has nothing to do with iran. read the news much? iran aint gonna be invading our lands anytime soon demanding we bow to allah. only the extremists want that. xerxes was no extremist, he was the mainstream...the ruler of everything. what parallel can we draw to a current dictator/king figure? absolutely none.

so yea. calling this movie racist = cunt. and i dont know what the fuck is wrong with you. you need therapy
