Hello CyrusIt's a great shame that in a war-torn world troubled by a million problems greater than this, any man would waste his time (and the time and money of others) to retaliate against a movie that most of the "Western world" has deemed "trash". It's not a block-buster that everyone in the "West" is flocking to see.RegardsHalil

I have loved the few Iranian movies that I have seen, Children of Heaven, and another. They are always very touching and full of love. Thanks for the news.

hail CompanionsWe should all indeed welcome all inerpretations of our guy,,, It fair to say the iranians will have there own views and versions been on the recieving end,, They can also also interpret Alexander any way they seem fit.But one thing they cant change is that Alexander whatever they call him, creamed there empire from Asia minor to India, Undefeated onstopped and finally treated as lord of Asia so indeed they can put whatever pront they want or dress him as bad as they want,,, The statistics and histories speak for themselves.
