Every person who has a heroic plot has a "sense of salvation", and as a country, the United States deserves to be a "save mad country".

Fight against all kinds of aliens to save the earth; fight against the increasingly harsh environment to save people all over the world; the earth is no longer suitable for human survival, the United States has built a threshold of bliss in space, and Max is there to be saved until he dies Effort; went to Mars to rescue the stranded botanist Mark Watney; during the Normandy landing, in order to comfort the mother who sacrificed three sons one after another, the US authorities sent a rescue team of 8 people to save Private Rui with the sacrifice of 6 people Grace's life.

Did you find that 3 of the 5 movies mentioned above were rescued by Matt Damon? Seriously, it's a coincidence, hahaha. Unlike Dumeng who is always caught in the whirlpool of being rescued, his best friend Ben Affleck is a complete rescuer.

Full of justice and energy, Batman Bruce Wayne, the dark middle-aged messenger who always saves Gotham; and this adaptation of "Escape from Tehran" based on real events, in addition to the directorship, Big Ben is also a rescue expert in the movie . The film won three awards at the 85th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Editing, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

It tells the story of the outbreak of the Islamic Revolution in Iran on November 4, 1979. A group of Islamists invaded the U.S. Embassy in Iraq and detained more than 50 staff members, and another 6 people escaped. Under the dire situation at the time, those who escaped could be caught at any time by revolutionaries or the international media and killed as spies. In order to save these non-spies, the United States ordered the CIA to come forward and dispatched rescue expert Tony, who went to Tehran on the grounds of filming after doing his homework at home.

The entire film, apart from explaining the cause of the revolution in a narration at the beginning, did not make too much political elaboration on the revolution, but stood on a neutral position and showed through some shots the turbulent "people's freedom" of that period. City" Tehran and a firm stand of different groups of people.

Extremely correct US-Canada friendly stance. After 6 Americans escaped from the embassy, ​​they first went to British embassies and other embassies to seek asylum, but they were rejected. They were then taken in by the Canadian ambassador to Iraq and hid in their homes for 86 days until Tony came to rescue.

Tony, who tried his best to save the 6 people, was determined to return home. You must know that at the end of the film, the United States intends to use force to solve the hostage incident. It has given up these six people and temporarily canceled the "Argo plan". It was only under Tony's insistence that the rescue was successful.

The Islamic revolution led by the Shiite Islamic leader Khomeini took the stand of "no West, no East, just Islam". From the Islamic women eating rice-style fast food on the streets of Tehran, to the "40% of the cinemas in the Iranian Ministry of Culture are showing Western tertiary films", it fully makes the moviegoers feel the impact of Western civilization on this Islamic world. erosion.

Before I watched it, I was against this modern historical drama without dazzling special effects and seductive handsome men and beauties. After watching it, I was glad that I didn’t miss this good film. Even though they already knew that they would definitely be able to escape from Tehran, there were still several times when the little heart was "thumping" because of the tension created by the film.

Finally, let’s take a look at this famous historical event. The king of Pahlavi was friendly with the United States. The massive oil export and the invasion of Western civilization brought disaster to the Iranian people, who are 95% of whom believe in Islam. Therefore, the Islamic revolution led by Khomeini broke out in the capital Tehran and overthrew the Palestinians. The Levi Dynasty established an Islamic republic with the integration of politics and religion. This revolution not only greatly weakened the emerging concept of Westernization, but also changed the understanding of Islam among people in the non-Muslim world. It also turned Iran and the United States from allies into enemies. The hostage crisis that year also cut off the two countries Diplomatic relations have not been restored yet.
