I also prefer 22.1. over 22.2.

Another vote or two for 22.1 and we can run with it.

Caption suggestion:

"Resemblance is uncanny."

^ A bit too stating the obvious perhaps.

There's a quote by the director to the effect of "World-class historians have told me how accurate it is".

"The movie's version of Xerxes is so inaccurate. Where's the hat?"

I think it's not obvious they're supposed to be the same person, and that it's worth saying so in the caption (somehow, if not directly).

[up] Potholing the film in the "Nair" part of my caption suggestion rather than the pic would cover that.

I think that's not enough, and that it's weird no one else has commented about something that seems plain to me.
