The complete history always has an unpredictable face, and the out-of-control plot spreads blindly around like a crack, not knowing why it started or how it will end. The horns of jagged notes rose in all directions, forming random chords, chaotic and continuous.
To say that it wins, part of the film's winning is in tracing the roots of the historical trend, which Affleck tries to portray and restore in "argo". Conservative religious fanaticism, obscure interest manipulation, indiscriminate group blindness, an either-or confrontation. It's hard to say who is more right and who is less wrong. Every participant plays the role of an accomplice and presents a hideous behemoth on the stage of history.
Tolerance is lost here, and determination rises from here. It is strange at this moment, and then can draw a knife to kill. The flames of war burn with paranoia, blackening every living land.
I remember Long Yingtai said, "There are so many fragmented and opposite faces in history, but we often see only one, the one with the most neat cuts and the simplest outline."
"argo" shows us that history is right or wrong. , speak only the facts. The revolutionary army with guns and angry, the ignorant children who work, the politicians who are conspiring, the hypocrisy that ruins the real life for the illusory reputation. Also, the human nature that leads the way in the dark with light.
To say it wins, another part of the film wins in its interpretation of individual humanity. History is fractured and disordered, but human nature can be complete and orderly. "There's always someone taking responsibility at times like this," Mendes said at the last minute before the mission was called back, a cliché but timeless. There are many people who retreat and avoid it, and it is rare to stand up to defend the faith at a critical moment, but it is such a defense that maintains our hope of climbing the Tower of Babel together.
Mendes, played by Affleck, hides a wise and unassuming composure under his thick hair and black beard. That kind of tenacity comes from firm belief, firm belief in respecting life, firm belief in mutual help and understanding, and firm belief in justice guidance.
The insignificant walks through the chaos of history, playing their own melody indifferently, elegantly and beautifully, with a small aftertaste that will not dissipate for a long time.
I still remember Zweig's splendid Lyon wedding. Before the execution, a couple of newlyweds wore garlands surrounded by prison companions and agreed to each other for life. That kind of struggle, although it ended in death, was regrettable and calm.
PS: At the end of the film, when Chambers rolled up the argo poster, the person who spoke behind his back was a big Hollywood figure. I really can't remember the name. Ask for science.
