“Films which portray Iranian achievements”

Tags: , ,



Noted in Martin’s post about the Iranians whining about 300:

Shamqadri, who is also a filmmaker, said that production of more domestic and artistic films which portray Iranian achievements is a proper response to movies like “300″.

Yeah, probably so. This one is my favorite–maybe my favorite of all time. But there’s so much more that they’ve also done already, like this!

What visionary artists! Oh, perhaps you’d like something more in the documentary style? I mean it’s not like 300 was a documentary, but the Iranians have all sorts of film that portrays their true genius!

Oh, look! Some real Iranian artistic achievement!!! (Below the fold)

    I haven’t seen 300 yet, but I’m really enjoying the commentary, and especially this from Beth at MVRWC: What visionary artists! Oh, perhaps you’d like something more in the documentary style? I mean it’s not like 300 was a documentary,…

    The song about everyone deserving a home was “just so cutting edge” that I hate to be picky about the professorial guy’s apparent lack of research for such an enlightening topic such as “dirty mice.”

    Unless I am totally mistaken, Walt Disney had nothing to do with the development of Tom and Jerry.

    But then, why let something as trivial as a fact get in the way of education?
