great rescue
Antonette 2022-04-22 07:01:02
Laomei's movies are about creating national heroes, especially the rescue of hostages. The filming is very good, especially when I left Iran at the end, I was very nervous and exciting. Tony could have left by himself, because his plan was cancelled, and without his insistence, there would be no safe departure for the last six people. Ben Affleck is self-directed and self-acted, a very talented person, but this film involves politics, I don't like it very much, and I don't understand some places. I don't know if there is such a great rescue case in China.

Lester Siegel: [Tony finds the "Argo" screenplay] It's a turnaround. It's dog shit.
Tony Mendez: It's a space movie in the Middle East. Does it matter?

[shooting down ideas to exfiltrate the house guests]
Tony Mendez: Sir, if these people can read or add, pretty soon they're gonna figure out they're six short of a full deck. It's winter. You can't afford to wait around till spring so it's nice enough to take a bike ride. The only way out of that city is the airport. We build new cover identities for them, you send in a Moses, he takes them out on a commercial flight.
