"Escape from Tehran" as a historical textual drama, the performance is quite in place, the perfect presentation of the retro lens, the beetle head and the big beard, and the 80s style American glasses in the film , Even in the actor's demeanor, it is a unique label of that era. If it weren’t for the marked shooting time and the exquisite picture quality, you might even think that this was a film made in the United States at that time. If you only talk about the film itself, it is undoubtedly quite outstanding, but it is such a film that combines history. Under the premise, I can't see his shining point at all. With the perfect ending of the story, this is just a hypocritical historical textual drama.

This film can be said to be just a classic of American self-pretentious patriotism educational film. The strong American personal heroism is very prominent, and the right pseudo-balance perspective. For example, the film burns each other’s flags and condemns each other’s declarations. With a sense of moral fairness and justice, I put a coat of weakness on my embassy being violated and hostages kidnapped, disguised myself as the victim of the story, and then deliberately portrayed the Iranian people’s face or whether Hatred or ill-intentioned, and the dead man hanged on the crane pole, creating an atmosphere of the evil axis of Iran’s terrorism, and then telling the story of a heroic CIA who rescued 6 hostages. It can be said to be a game. The righteous story of American heroes fighting against Iran’s terrorist cult, but after learning a certain amount of history, you will know that the puppet king fostered by the United States controlled Iran. The king himself lived a luxurious and decadent life, and the people were living in a hot and impoverished life on the water. A democratic movement overthrew the feudal rule, and the king fled to the United States. The Iranian people asked the United States to extradite this tyrant back to China to accept the justice of the people. The rejection of the United States led to the Iranian hostage crisis. Although Iran’s behavior was excessive, But what's wrong? The decades-long puppet rule, how much wealth Iran has been plundered by the United States, and how many tragic killings of the Iranian people, the bitter fruits of the United States’ own interference in other countries’ internal affairs have been eaten by the Iranian hostage crisis. After arriving, none of the hostages on the Iranian side was beheaded or killed by Iran. Compared with the real terrorist Taliban, Iran is not obvious. In the movie, are the six so-called rescued hostages ordinary civilians? ? The answer is no. It can only be said that an agent saved a group of agents, perhaps also the story of agents. There is no justice at all. If you have to say that the just image of this movie may only be the only one that has taken in these 6 Americans. It’s just Canada, to paraphrase what the filmmakers said at the end of the film: "History always starts with a farce and ends with a tragedy." Isn't this movie itself?

Movies are a good propaganda tool. A good movie is even more so, but we should look at a historical movie in the real history before we can comment on its good or bad, like "Goodbye Firefly" is it right? For a good movie, my answer is: yes, but he overly magnified the disaster that Japan has suffered, and described himself as the biggest victim of the war, with a trace of Japanese militarism revenge. Emotions, "Escape from Tehran" is the same. This film is not a victim of the United States, let alone justice for it. (Reproduced must indicate: the original author Mengli Poetry and Book)
