Patrick Sabongui (Persian General) is of Egyptian descent. Rodrigo Santoro (Xerxes) is Brazilian.
Also, the ancient Persian empire covered more than what is now Iran.
I meant most of them.Of course I didn't browse imdb and learned about every one of the actors' ethnichity.Actually I don't care
Most of the "evil soldiers" were african americans.That's what I meant
And I'm saying it again.Xerxes was totally gay
I wish my hair-color was EDS :/Comment

sounds like the bullshit film Memoirs of a Geisha, most of the actors were Chinse and the whole concept was so fucking wrong"There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Well, they looked more Greek than Colin Farrell, Brad Pitt and Eric Bana, that's for sure, but this guy too was a Brit I believe.Originally posted by RacerX View PostYeah, I watched that too. The actors portraying the Spartans looked Greek, and the dude playing Xerxes looked Arab, so nyah Norton!
I laugh when people get hung up on historical accuracy. They're speaking English with British accents, for chrissakes!!
Although, according to the histories of the time, Spartans were known to be blonde.Comment

I thought that movie was about the Chinese women made into Geishas in 1937?!! So it would make sense that they were Chinese, no?Comment

it was? where did you heard that?? there's a big difference between a street whore and a geisha, few had the privilege to become a geisha, Chinese at that time definetly weren't in a "good position"Originally posted by danastas View Post"There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I got my WW2 Geisha books mixed up. I was thinking of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Tent-Orange-Mi.../dp/0879517921
By the way, the Japanese were pretty good at turning both Chinese and Korean girls into Geishas. They'd seek out the female children of well-heeled educated families, and turn them out.
The book I just cited begins with a real article from the New York Times on the subject.Comment

Geishas.
This is what the woman is in the book. She's trained as a Geisha by a Japanese general. She takes part in a Japanese tea time ceremony, where she provides the copro for the phagy.
Under her are the comfort women.Comment
