Fortunately, the U.S. government will not harmonize the main sources of information, so any film that claims to be'adapted from real people and facts' can easily find a relatively complete and comprehensive truth.
I saw some interesting little truth sharing on wikipedia:
After the film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2012, some comments said that the film exaggerated the role of the CIA in this rescue operation, and the smallest This changed the role played by the Canadian government, especially the then ambassador Taylor. Taylor said in an interview: "Actually, the Canadian government is mainly responsible for those six people and the CIA is just a small partner, but I understand that this is a movie and you have to attract the audience. 'The movie adds some fictional plots in order to maintain the dramatic effect. For example, the crisis that arises when buying 6 people return air tickets is not true. In fact, the air tickets are two sets of three sets of tickets bought by Mrs. Taylor from three different airlines. Also, in the film, the ambassador Taylor proposed that the mansion must be closed, so that the six people would have no choice but nowhere to go. In fact, this is nothing.
The director explained this:'This is a movie adapted from real events, and the movie itself is not a real thing. We should be allowed to take some dramatic treatment. As long as it has the spirit of respecting facts. ''The most important thing that needs to be truly represented is ---for example, the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Canada. '
In addition, the film showed that the British and New Zealand embassies refused to take in six American diplomats who were fleeing. In fact, diplomats from the New Zealand embassy helped them, and one of them drove them to the airport. The British embassy actually took in these 6 people first, only to later discover that the hiding place was not safe before transferring them to the safer Canadian ambassador's residence. In addition to these 6 people, the British Embassy also helped more Americans. US Consular Affairs Officer Bob Anders also said: They (the British Embassy diplomat) are trying to help us put our lives at risk. I hope that the British will not be offended by the movie. The British government treats us very well, and we will always be grateful.
At the time, the British ambassador to Iran, John Graham, said, “I was very angry when I heard this (the film’s performance of the role of the British embassy). After that, I calmed down, but I was still annoyed because the filmmakers showed this point so far from the truth. My concern is to hope that this inaccurate information will not become a misrepresentation of the Tehran incident in 1979. 'The
director's explanation for this paragraph is:'I have struggled for a long time, and the performance of the film is to some extent unfair to New Zealand and the United Kingdom. But I just want to create an emergency situation where these six people have nowhere to go. I didn't mean to belittle anyone. '
