Argo: Politically won!
Fahim Ibne Sarwar
In international politics we have
watched Canada‘s participation as a
peace loving country and that is well
established in the film. Also the film
wants to establish that America is
always right and what they do is good
for the Americans and the world also.
If you don‘t agree with them you
certainly will be a terrorist!
Not that much straight cut but under a
shape of storytelling Argo tried to
26
America. Is always with the good?
Always do the right? Yes, Argo tried
to convince us enough about
America‘s goodness but they actually
neglected the political truths between
America and Iran. Here in Argo, the
story is about an escape mission of six
American diplomats who got trapped
in Teheran, the capital of Iran.
They were trapped because they were
alive. In 1979 some Iranian activists
broke the American embassy in
Tehran and killed several diplomats.
But six of them were able to flee.
They got shelter at the residence of
Canadian High commissioner.

The film Argo again established that,
‗we are living in America‘! What
Hollywood makes is not always
beautiful and truth as well. American
beauty is not always that much beauty
but bitter. Ben Affleck directed 2012
film Argo is a political thriller film. It
also contains an interesting genre that
is ‗American Propaganda‘!
