Argo

Even though this is the second time I've seen this movie, I still love love love it. Ben Affleck is amazing. I love all of the actors and actresses, especially the six Americans stuck in Iran. Most of the cast who played CIA members were very known, but it didn't take away from the movie. Honestly, the look of the movie and the costumes, accents, sounds, and feel of the movie added to the amazing script and great production. I think Alan Arkin has this dry wit about him that always makes me laugh, even when discussing a hostage situation. I have been so obsessed with this movie and am so glad we watched it!

I think that Ben Affleck made a movie for Hollywood. He wasn't making a documentary or like an exact retelling of a historical event. So while he did take many liberities with the film, I have no problem with it. While usually that type of thing bothers me, I still think he told the story to a generation that doesn't know that much about this time period. And by saying that it is "based of a real story" isn't a lie because it is a real story. Six Americans really did hide the Canadian Ambassadors home. Yes, he left a good chunk out, but it still made for a great movie. 

I do believe the filmmaker has some responsibility. But we also have to remember that it is the entertainment industry. It is meant to make one thing :money. So while yes, the topic and relationship with Iran is still sensitive, and while he took a lot of time and work to make a though out film, in the end, it's just a movie. It's a very sad world if a relationship with a country is strained because of something on the screen.
