A movie that depicts certain things may offend others. However, with that said, I do believe that the "psychological warfare" comment was made by a man who hates all things American and looks for anything to comment on to get that point out to the people and the world. A cultural advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (President of IRAN), the man who claims that the Holocaust did not happen and Israel has no right to exist, made this politically motivated comment about the movie. This man's outcry is based on a belief that Western world wants to destory his country and conquer his rule. IRAN has been at "war" with the United States for many decades and this is just another round of the "war of words." It is an opportunity to take advantage of a movie that is popular and get in the news. First I will note that I have not seen the movie so I will not comment on the content/story of the film, however I will point out the source of the “psychological warfare” comment and discuss that.

I think it pretty much sums up how I feel about the movie as well. Most Americans aren't going to know that Persia = Iran. If they did, we wouldn't have shows like "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" on television... I liked your review, Jigsaw. I think it pretty much sums up how I feel about the movie as well.

If I even knew there was a connection between the two I had long since forgotten it. Good movie though. I watched the movie and never thought about Iran.

Movies are, for the most part, an escape from reality. Zannel actually did have some pretty cool videos. Thanks for mentioning that. Do you work for them or something? (It seems like it.)

What ever happened to using movies to "escape" from reality? Instead, they are trying to claim that movies are propaganda. I go to the movies to enjoy the film and get away from the drama in my own life. I think this movie was amazing. I was completely lost (in a good way) in the movie. The way it was filmed was totally captivating. I hope that more action movies, or even movies in general, start to film in this format. I also found some really cool behind the scenes videos and pictures on Zannel. You can even send them to friends and your mobile phone. I really enjoyed seeing how the movie was made. I am still amazed that they completed it in such a short time frame. But you should definitely check out the 300 content on Zannel. If you liked the movie, then you will definitely like what they have to offer. I couldn’t agree more. What ever happened to using movies to “escape” from reality?
