Iranians worldwide have been protesting a new Hollywood blockbuster movie based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller which they say offers an "inaccurate and derogatory depiction of ancient Persians."
Over 6,200 Iranians have signed an online petition addressed to the producers of the film "300", criticizing them for what they say is a distortion of historical fact.
"The author Frank Miller and Warner Brothers Studios should understand that distorting historical data is unethical, and so is feeding ignorance to viewers and readers. Fantasy-like characters should not have names that are based on actual historical figures," the petition reads.
The signatories of the petition seem to agree that the film is an "outrage" and "a depiction of how movie studios and authors sacrifice historical accuracy for would-be profits."
Directed by Zach Snyder, "300" tells the story of 300 Spartans who fight the Iranian king Xerxes and his Persian army.
The petition reads that "Xerxes was one of the many revered and respected rulers of an ancient civilization, the vestiges of which last to this day."
The online petition to promote a boycott of the movie is available at: www.petitiononline.com/BTM3/petition.html
