How would the "Prince of Persia" feel about the death of Osama Bin Laden?

Would the Prince of Persia support the Iraqi war? Some would lead us to beleive he would not.

You may have heard several people draw comparisons of the movie “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) with the Iraqi war. This article is not exactly about that, although it is not too far removed.

More obvious than the comparisons with the Iraqi war was the anti-government tone carried by the Hollywood film. I wasn’t even really looking for hidden messages; it was just there – one more side story that found its way into the movie between epic battle and time travelling daggers.

The character bringing the anti-government message was Sheik Amar, who was subtle about his message only in that he was a side character.

“The film’s greatest gem however is Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar, a self-described unscrupulous small businessman. He waxes moderately and eloquently about a great evil that plagues the empire: taxes. His exasperation over government attempts to control his business, and later over the secret government-run, tax-funded assassin organization that is after Dastan, left the audience I watched with laughing and even clapping.”

His initial introduction to the movie is as a “thief” who turns out to actually be a self-described businessman who is doing everything he can to avoid paying taxes. He repeatedly brings up his conspiracy theories that echoed all too well with many conspiracy theories of today.

 Take this poorly constructed YouTube montage for example (I dislike the addition of background music).

 

After the assassination attempt on the group, Amar attributes it to the work of a secret government killing operation – which turns out to be exactly what it was in the movie’s plot.

I liked the movie, and I thought it was pretty good. What I want to know is if you think that these anti-government comparisons were intentional by the producers or not? Do you think that they carry anti-government tones for the sake of being anti-government, or is it a satirical attempt to poke fun at the conspiracy theories themselves?

Please let me know what you think!!
