thats the thing about this movie<which i havent seen yet>, its being conflated with political sentiments.......negative ones.
the comic from which its based predates current tensions with iran, but, we must understand that the actual story was just a context for a bunch of crazy, epic war scenes for a comic artist. so what you are seeing is not the same bush "axis of evil" anti-iranian sentiment.
comics are very different than television and movies, mainstream comics exist outside of political agendas and influence...............so theres no right wing conspiracy here from frank miller and whatever publisher he was working under.
so we are talking about a medium thats selling point is stuff film couldnt reproduce effectively the last 50 years when it comes to war, when it comes to the fantasy outer-space,dimension,time kind of thing. comics dont adhere to the same institutional agenda of super sensitive political correctness and most publishers keep the material out of the realm of serious political undertones.......mainly because the viewership is so young..........and that viewership is more interested in impossibly proportioned heros and hot chicks kicking someones but.
at times they are clumsy and stuff like 300 is made where it actually IS offensive, but most of the people who followed the comics of frank miller or the million other artists, for the most part understood that the plot itself is just a mere premise for a bunch of fight scenes and hot chicks and stuff......which is the bread and butter.
