I think what Iran is forgetting is the movie is not based on the actual historical event as much as Frank Miller's graphic novel (SinCity anyone?).
They should be pissed at Miller more than actual producers of the movie.

Hell, I couldn't stop laughing. But then, I think Canadians get a kick out of the stereotypes we are portrayed as.

Of course Hollywood has a "fake view" of the world. Otherwise, you'd be going to the theatre just to watch one really long discovery or history channel episode.

its ridiculous. i couldnt give two shits if someone made a film about Oz that denigrated it in some way. nationalism shits me.
i think its telling that certain cultures/nations on this planet can't seem to understand the difference between a particular government and the free instituions that exist independently in the same nation.
