Thats anti Iranian? I thought it would have been banned because of their anti homsexual rule.
Yes. I will answer this with a simple photo comparison,
Real Persian Immortals
300 Persian Immortals
Simple case of demonisation. And I know 300 wasn't a documentary.So if I have this clear, in order to justify an invasion hollywood need to be ordered to make several dozen movies in order to what? Rile up the population.
So Pearl Habor and Saving Private Ryan were what? An attempt to restart
the 2nd world war?No, but a sizable percentage of Americans could not point out Israel and Iran on a map, never mind the US itself . And if what you are suggesting is that movies have no effect on a viewerthen i think you are mistaken.
here is the link for the actual immortals:

Seriously that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.Simple case of demonisation. And I know 300 wasn't a documentary.
Neither was Die Hard, it wasn't anti German propaganda. The Patriot wasn't a documentary, are you trying to say it was "anti British" propaganda? How about Braveheart? Rob Roy?No, but a sizable percentage of Americans could not point out Israel and Iran on a map, never mind the US itself . And if what you are suggesting is that movies have no effect on a viewer
then i think you are mistaken.
Thats a complete non sequitur. Are really saying you US knowledge of middle eastern geography is so bad ergo a couple of bad Michael Bay films will make the US population want to invade Iran?here is the link for the actual immortals:

HOLLYWOOD MOVIE IN HISTORICAL INACCURACY SHOCKER!
Some stuff I now need to break to you SKG;
- Despite what you heard in the film "Alexander", Macedonians did not speak with an Irish Accent.
- It would be extremely unlikely for a Roman Emperor to fight a slave, as what happens in the movie Gladiator.
- In actuality William Wallace never got to shag the fit french princess like you saw in Braveheart.
- Oh and Mozart enjoyed a friendly relationship with Salieri, and probably wasn't murdered by him.
SKG it was a movie, as you rightly pointed out, many americans cannot correctly identify current day Iran on a map, but you think a movie about a 2000 year old war which never mentions the name Iran, is anti Iranian propaganda?
Really? I mean really? Because you're flatly contracting yourself here.0 -

No. No it's not. Not being funny here, but after spending three years working in news I ended up working in the film industry. Please explain how and give examples of the film industry being currently used for propaganda. Give examples. And Please don't use 300, a better argument is that it's an infomerical for abmasters and baby oil. .
Ha. did it work for you?;)
I already have the numerous holocaust related movies released at the time of the Gaza atrocity.And his evidence is? What are their names? Are they in pre production? Who's directing them? Who's producing them? Who's staring? Where's he getting this information? Does he have a subscription to a magic copy of variety? .
You'll really have to ask him yourself, or wait and see.So to be clear, America will be convinced by a bunch of Tony Scott movies?
No, but I don't think the accumalative emotional conditioning effects of movies should not be underestimated to zero at least.Bullcrap. There were two. Defiance and Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas.
Please explain how this is a disproportionate amount. .
It would seem we have reached one of those rare moments when you are incorrect, do you perhaps you would like to withdraw your bullcrap?
Three times your amount in fact - 6! Dispraportionate? I say yes, what say you?

Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has defended the glut of Holocaust films emerging from Hollywood - insisting the tragic events are a "wonderful" subject to study.
Six new movies released in December centre on the mass slaughter of Jews in 1940s Germany, including The Reader - starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes - Defiance, Tom Cruise's Valkyrie, and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
Some critics have argued that the story is too gloomy for the festive season - but Weinstein insists it's an important subject for filmmakers to tackle.
He tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "What a wonderful subject to explore in as many ways as possible. I hope our children get educated about the Holocaust, so it will be 'Never again'."
Other Holocaust-themed films due to hit cinemas include Adam Resurrected, and Good, which stars Viggo Mortensen and will be released on December 31. "Furthermore you do understand that movies of this scale take years to plan, develop and producer, are you really suggesting something as daft that these movies were planned years in advance to soften public opinion. Why?
It was admitted that the attack on Gaza was planned at least 6 months before the event.Um, Lawrence of Arabia?
Do I win a prize.
My bad, I should have said post Islamic revolution.

Ha? Ha? :rolleyes: And yes. Yes it did.You'll really have to ask him yourself, or wait and see.
So that would be a "No idea then". I'm just trying to figure out how an Iranian minister has such crucial information about upcoming hollywood releases, but can't name the films, or anything about them.No, but I don't think the accumalative emotional conditioning effects of movies should not be underestimated to zero at least.
The phrase "Oh please give it a bloody rest" springs to mind. What you have here is a man who's claiming that hollywood are making dozens of movies who's names/casts/crews/ neither you and he can name.It would seem we have reached one of those rare moments when you are incorrect, do you perhaps you would like to withdraw your bullcrap?
Ah no.Three times your amount in fact - 6! Dispraportionate? I say yes, what say you?

Firstly why bother hyperlinking the cast's names as if this somehow adds substance to your bizarre claims.
A) Valkyrie isn't about the Holocaust. It's about the plot to assassinate Hitler.
The Reader isn't about the holocaust, it's set to the background of the camps, it's about guilt, illiteracy, it could be argued that its about paedophilia.
C) Adam Resurrected, only went on release after the cease fire.
D) Defiance is not about the slaughter of Jews in Germany, it's in Poland. It's also relatively historically accurate, so whats your problem with that
E) Good isn't exactly a major release, remember you're claiming that there is a pro jew anti Iranian agenda in hollywood, why exactly would they make one of these films, to coincide with the assault on gaza (why this happens you cannot say) and they drop it as a minor release with limited publicity.
Once again SKG you're not making a shred of sense and flatly contradicting yourself in the same post.Coinincidentally or not this coincided with the attack on Gaza.
So of your six, two aren't about the holocaust, one was released after the ceasefire, so that gives you three.
Would you like your slow hand clap now?It was admitted that the attack on Gaza was planned at least 6 months before the event.
and films take much more than 6 months to plan. A friend worked on the Reader for over a year and a half, and he was involved in the post production of the movie. The film was nearly 3 years in the making, suggesting it and three other movies were planned shot, and completed in time for the attack is utterly farcical.My bad, I should have said post Islamic revolution.

Humanji already named one. Are you going to keep shifting those goalposts?
Tell me, has America made a pro Chinese movie in the past 30 years? Or North Korean? Czech? Russian? Belgian?
Trying to suggest there is some sinister anti Iranian conspiracy theory because Stallone never played the Ayatollah is just inane.
Ohhhh that reminds me, while not pro Iranian, it is pro fundamentalist muslim, so Rambo 3?0
