4. The Persian Faces In '300':

Persian race is popular as being similar to German race cause of people's face such as their skin which is white but in this movie '300' the Persian king Xerxes is shown like an African king with dressing like what we never had in our history for our kings & Xerxes of '300' is not like what is remained for us of his face in Persepolise, Can Hollywood deny this too?!; Not only the Persian king in this movie but all the people and army are not Persian, they don't look like Persians, they even don't dress like Persians at all. As Herodot, Will Durant & Gezenfon have said Xerxes (Persian King) looked so smart & cute but unfortunatly as we can see in most Hollywood movies such as 'Constantine' (There is a mexican man who carries Devil dagger) they just try to show racism and use black, Asian & south America faces to bring it out that white races are the best and they have the right to live on the right side but it's somehow funny cause we, Iranians (Persian race) are not black, as we can read in Herodot and so many others' books, Persian race has been described so similar to German faces! In this movie what u see as Greek faces are like Persian faces & I even don't wanna say that the faces that u see as Persian faces in the movie are like Greek faces cause both races, Greek & Persian are two nations that their people are so cute and smart! Specially Leonidas's face is exactly like Persian & eastern faces; But I think Persian faces never looked like that in Zack Snyder's eyes!!!!
