My answer - no. I don't think it's worth the outrage. Anyone educated enough to make the connection between Persia and Iran will be smart enough to realise that a historically accurate movie wouldn't be as entertaining. And anyone dumb enough to have their beliefs influenced by Hollywood movies wouldn't make the connection, probably wouldn't realise it's based on a historical event, and probably wouldn't even know when or where the movie is based.

Actually at that time the Persian empire was huge and had many cultures including "Africans". Moreover, it was personal for the Persians as they had a prior defeat via the Greeks after the failed Egyptian revolution against Persia.

As far as the Greeks looking fit or athletic, read a bit about their culture, they were obsessed with it. Moreover, Spartans are probably considering all things equal overtime the best infantry solders known.

Actually not all Iranians are descendents of Persians just as not all Italians are descendents or Rome. The problem is that you have a lot of East Asian influence that later conquered Persia and most of the middle east that resulted into most of today's bloodlines and drastically changed the cultures as well.

Very true about the ruins and yes this is based on a graphic novel and meant to be very artistic and abstract as most of Frank Miller's work

I really like the post. Here are my thoughts. We need to keep in mind that this movie is meant, first and foremost, as art. It is a war movie, but unlike Braveheart or Exodus, it doesn't attempt to teach any historical or moral lessons. It is too great a stretch to imagine masses of Americans forming totally different views of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or the Iranian nuclear program based on this fanciful movie filled with yellow-brown skies, Scotsmen, and drag queens with digitally lowered voices.
