Watch Mega Movie
Hard core CIA stuff, thrilling action, secret mission, et al- Does listening to this give you kicks? Well, then here is a perfect treat for you and that is Argo. This movie is based on Tony Mendezs novel called The Master of Disguise and the Wired article by Joshuah Bearman called The Great Escape. Sounds thrilling, huh? Well, it is.
The movie was directed by Ben Affleck. Now that garners some more attention... does not it? Well, it is just the beginning. If you hear the story, you will be more thrilled to watch it. You can feel the pleasure of the plot only if you watch it yourself. It is basically a historical drama thriller film that portrays the 1980 U.S. hostage crisis in Iran. Though the movie got criticized for some of the scenes like the minimalisation of the role of Canadian embassy in the rescue mission, false claims that Americans were turned down by the British and New Zealand embassies.
Anyway, talking about the movie- The movie, as you already know, is a thriller and the plot is based on the Central Intelligence Agency stuff. It so happens that the CIA agents have to go in a mission in Teheran (Iran). And as they won't be allowed to trespass as the intelligence agents, they plan to go undercover. Now how they go undercover is interesting to know. They act under the cover of a Hollywood producer on a rescue for their movie in Teheran. The operation is a rescue mission where they plan to save six Americans. Interestingly, the tagline of the movie is Based on the exaggerated true story. Now that is interesting... is not it? The fact that sounds amazing to many is the concept of movie under a movie. Amazing, huh? And that is how it comes down to The movie was fake. The mission was real
Also the interesting is how they shot the whole film. To make the movie feel like 1970, Ben Affleck made sure they shot it on regular film and cut the frames in half and increased the graininess of the pictures. Not only this, they also copied the camera movements and office scenes from All Presidents Men for the CIA sequences. All this for one movie... is not it great? Incidentally, the script that was used for the fake movie was based on the 1967 science fiction novel called Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny. And also it is interesting how they came up with the title Argo. John Goodman came up with the title because he loved knock knock jokes. And in the movie too, the title becomes an off-color joke.
