Here in Argo, Tony Mendez is our Savior! Who is no doubt a great CIA agent. And when nobody has any brilliant idea of the rescue operation, Mendes surely had the Master Plan! And that is making a fake film and fake production team plus a fake location tour in Tehran! By some dramatic Bla.. Bla.. suspense Mendes obviously be a successful savior and of course the hero of American people. Argo wins politically both on screen and off Why some crazy Iranians broke the American embassy in one fine morning? Is that also a fake movie‘s script? I don‘t think so. The situation America blames in the movie is created by America. When they lose the grip, the situation goes against them ultimately they become hero and others devil! Argo tries to establish a good image of American political decisions but it doesn‘t become so credible. Every 27 For me Argo is a formula political American film. Which creates a crisis and only a spy made by the secret agencies can solve this and rescue the humanity with his super power! Doesn‘t it seem like a fairy tale? screen. On screen the film serves the American interest and we watch how a CIA agent can solve political problems one handedly. We watch brutality of the Iranians, the foolishness of the revolutionary guards who was made foolish in the airport by the diplomats making the fake movie real. We also watched the heroism of the CIA agent. But consciously we avoid the backstage reasons, why and how the drama has been created? Page establish the goodness of US and the evilness of Iran. Because that Iran government was against America and got power by revolution against American backed Iranian!
