This movie is based on the real event "Iranian Hostage Crisis". At first glance, how would you think it was like a documentary of political wars, demonstrations and riots?

I think remakes of historical events always make people wonder about the state of the year. This was the one I watched when I was in the first year of high school when I took an elective course of "movie and drama literature" at school. Frankly speaking, I was not at all at that time. I didn't watch this movie carefully, and I pointed out that I was boring after watching it, but at the time it was just like a childish speech and was still immature, and I didn't know many things about the country, big and small.

But I watched this film again yesterday, and I admit that the Oscar for best picture really makes me more interested in reviewing all the best films over the years, so I watched this film. Twice, the feelings of these two times are much different. After watching the second time, I have deeply realized that when one country and another country are in a period of confrontation, the representatives stationed in the war-torn country are suffering physically and mentally. , This is just a job for a public agency, right? Why have to experience the cost of losing a life? Let’s put aside the other private grievances of the United States towards Iran, or the American power heroism, etc. In fact, no matter which country it is, when life is threatened in other countries, we should use it. How can we reach out to help? How much should we value the lives of every citizen? Perhaps these are issues that we should consider before things happen.

CIA rescue expert Tony, who used the telephone to contact with his son while watching the film series "Legend of the Holocaust" series, came up with how to save the six American diplomats who successfully escaped in Tehran, Iran. That is to create one. Fake movie”, Tony intends to impersonate the film team to go to Iran for shooting. In addition, he happens to have an old Hollywood friend, so he can successfully fabricate a fake movie "Argo Argo". In this way, Tony has gone through a lot of Two times of ups and downs, including three consecutive return votes by the United States, until the last moment, because of their persistence, they were willing to save these six colleagues. Half of the reason was also due to the trust of these six Americans in Tony, so they When going through customs at the airport, these six Americans were not only unable to reveal their identity as American citizens, but also had to pretend to be the behind-the-scenes production team of the movie, and each had a new name and new background. They were so adventurous for the only reason. To escape from this place where the head may be beheaded at any time....

*****In the

end, of course, everyone was happy. Six American diplomats successfully escaped from Iran, including Tony and his seven people who rescued them. They presented the whole story with ebb and flow. The hearts of our viewers especially start from the second half. , Just kept hanging, because even we ourselves are afraid that they will be caught, fake identities will be discovered, and we have to worry about being shot down when we get on the plane. I think there are so many bridges that make me sweat. , Like this kind of psychologically challenging political thriller, after watching it, I feel relieved and relieved a lot....

There is one of the most unforgettable passages in the movie. There is a conversation in the kitchen. The protagonist wants to convince two diplomats to believe him, so he tells his real name, that he has a wife and children, and let them know that he is also risking his family to rescue him. A diplomat said a concise fuck. Oh I think this is really well written! I won’t go into details, I won’t say much or explain, it’s just a "damn" saying, "Damn, I can't help but believe you." .

I have to say that Xiaoban is engaged in behind-the-scenes work. Whether it is a director or a screenwriter, I think it is quite successful. I have already won a best original screenplay award with my friend Matt Damon for "Mind Catcher". Although many movies starring in later were not appreciated by the public, they are all visible behind the scenes, so I think as an actor, what you should do is not only memorize the script and act a good play, but also The important thing is, how do you find yourself from failure and explore yourself? How do you extend yourself from success and radicalize yourself? These are all esoteric subjects that make oneself strive for perfection.
