“Argo” is truly an amazing American underdog story. The
sloppy and unorganized CIA agent, Tony Mendez, really transforms into an
awesome American hero that all people should strive to be like. Mendez, played by Ben Affleck, is sent to
Iran in a last ditch elaborate scheme to rescue six American diplomats that are
being hunted down by the extremists. They planned to be a Canadian film crew on
the hunt for the perfect site for their new movie “Argo.”
This was a fantastic
movie with a really solid cast. Ben Affleck really does a great job portraying
Mendez in the film, and he really showed the complete roller coaster of
emotions the movie brings out. This courage and sheer ambition is exactly what
saved these six Americans, and bravery was needed for each person to get to
safety.
One of my
favorite aspects of the film is the amazing cinematography. The raw emotions
the movie captured ranging from the anger of the Iranian citizens, the deep
emotions of the seven Americans yearning for safety and even the flamboyant
Hollywood scenes of the late 1970’s. This whole movie kept my attention during
the entire film. I especially love history and this movie really did a great
job at giving justice to this very unbelievable moment in history. The courage that Tony Mendez portrayed during
the whole film was wonderful to watch. Even when he was told not to continue,
he still kept going for the good of the people and the country. Overall, I
would say this is a must watch movie, and each and every American should admire
the courage that everyone involved in this process did. The entire Iranian and
American conflict was extremely hostile during this time period. Thankfully
this is the outcome that happened, because Iran was a very scary place and
anger was in full force.
