Il y a un nouveau motif de fureur et de discorde entre les USA et l’Iran : le film 300<\/em>, de Zack Snyder, contant l’\u00e9pop\u00e9e des 300 guerriers spartes qui retard\u00e8rent l’avance de l’arm\u00e9e perse aux Thermopyles, en 480 avant J\u00e9sus-Christ. Rapport de l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement tr\u00e8s hollywoodien.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tHywell Williams, dans le Guardian<\/a>, pr\u00e9sente le cas d’une plume critique.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abDoes it matter if a film perverts history? No one who really wants to know the truth about the past has ever gone to Hollywood for enlightenment. The epic in particular is a form that likes its conflicts presented in clear-cut black and white, while real historical dramas tend to be full of ambiguity and mixed motivation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbZack Snyder’s new movie, 300, aims to describe the heroic resistance of the 300 Spartan warriors who held the pass at Thermopylae in August 480BC against the invading Persian army. It is as the blurb claims 300% action<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbHistories written by later European liberals are full of doom-laden sighs about the consequences had the Persians won: no democracy \u00e0 la Grecque, no philosophy or science, and Euripides might have spent his time composing ditties praising the great king at the Persian court in Persepolis. Snyder’s characters mouth George Bush platitudes about freedom, but Spartans, being the product of a militarised oligarchy, were hardly democratic warriors. The Spartan regime retained kingship and was pathologically philistine: it saw the arts as a dangerous diversion that might undermine the martial energy it had deployed in campaigning against other Greek states.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe Persian threat had united previously quarrelsome Greek city states just as US intervention in the Middle East has created a vast new force of \u00a0\u00bbfriends of al-Qaida\u00a0\u00bb. But Snyder’s 300 is an uncritical reflection of neocon foreign policy filmed at a time when that crazed ideology was at its most influential. Now it’s been released, it looks like a video war-game, and has excited protests in Tehran with its characterisation of ancient Persian warriors as cruel despots. Jake Shears and Gary Barlow seem safer and nicer westernising exports than Snyder’s hoarse-voiced thugs.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLes r\u00e9actions en Iran, la Perse moderne et l’h\u00e9ritier de l’empire, sont furieuses. On dira, assez classiquement, que celle<\/a> du pr\u00e9sident iranien n’est pas \u00e9tonnante (\u00abToday they are trying to tamper with history by making a film and by making Iran’s image look savage<\/em>\u00bb). Mais on trouve les m\u00eames accents<\/a> dans des milieux mod\u00e9r\u00e9s, et m\u00eame r\u00e9formistes. Hollywood, comme Washington, sait faire l’union nationale chez ceux que le syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricaniste a mis \u00e0 l’index dans le camp des m\u00e9chants.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe reformist newspaper, Ayandehno, accused the makers of trying to set international opinion against Iran to fit President George Bush’s description of the country as belonging to an axis of evil.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIn the film Iranians are considered to be monsters devoid of any culture, humanity and wisdom who know nothing except attacking other lands, threatening peace and killing human beings. There is no option other than to confront, fight and destroy this wicked tribe so that the world can be saved from this axis of evil, the paper’s film critic wrote.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIl y a quelque chose d’universel dans ce syst\u00e8me (l’am\u00e9ricaniste), c’est le sch\u00e9matisme mental et la haine instinctive, sans retenue, sans explication, de la nuance, de la complexit\u00e9 et de la profondeur humaines ; par cons\u00e9quent, d\u00e9go\u00fbt de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 historique et de sa dimension tragique. Hollywood ne d\u00e9pare pas le tableau.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tHollywood n’est pas une machine de propagande, c’est une machine am\u00e9ricaniste \u00e0 faire du fric, par cons\u00e9quent<\/strong> c’est, sans le vouloir, par sa nature m\u00eame, une machine de propagande. L’histoire est donc r\u00e9crite au niveau mental suppos\u00e9 du citoyen-spectateur, qui est en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 le niveau mental des r\u00e9alisateurs et des sc\u00e9naristes, fussent-ils les plus talentueux. Lorsqu’un r\u00e9alisateur semble \u00e9chapper au moule, il est recrach\u00e9 comme un noyau et mis hors du syst\u00e8me (Welles, Allen, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCe qui est assez ironique, aujourd’hui, c’est que la rapidit\u00e9 de l’Histoire engendr\u00e9e par l’hyst\u00e9rie de la politique washingtonienne semble d\u00e9passer le rythme de production des faiseurs d’Hollywood. Ainsi, 300<\/em> est-il un film d’inspiration neocon<\/em> alors que la notori\u00e9t\u00e9 des neocons<\/em> a sombr\u00e9 dans le ridicule (sans pour autant perdre de son influence, mais sans doute ceci explique-t-il cela). Cela justifie ce jugement de 300<\/em> par Williams : \u00abSnyder’s 300 is an uncritical reflection of neocon foreign policy filmed at a time when that crazed ideology was at its most influential. Now it’s been released, it looks like a video war-game<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tMais l’essentiel est ailleurs. 300<\/em> a fait rentrer $40 millions de recettes dans ses quatre premiers jours d’exploitation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
