Crazy credits Past the photos of cast members and the real people they play, there's audio from an interview with then-President Jimmy Carter talking about the crisis. Alternate versions After it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, the postscript at the end credits was changed because it was felt that it slighted Canada's involvement in the rescue of the American hostages. Entertainment Inc. User reviews Review. Top review. This review may be coming a little bit late, considering i saw the movie back in November, but i wanted to check one or two things before i write it.

I wanted to see whether or not the movie will receive any Academy awards buzz from the the Golden Globes and the various Guild awards. I wanted to wait, because i could not believe the hype surrounding it.

I saw it, and i was not that impressed at all. So after some amount of time has passed and the seven Academy nominations have been announced, i thought it was time for a second viewing, in order to try and change my mind about the movie, but-no. I would even recommend Zero Dark Thirty Bigelow's recent take on historical events, that are important to American society ahead of Argo. That being said, Affleck's based-on-true-story-sci-fi-flick has it's strenghts.

The fact that the movie is solid enough and that a thorough enough background-check on the events depicted in it, are made, admittedly do the movie some justice. It's well and accurately written, but a nomination is as far as it can stretch itself. Never mind the fact that Affleck is still weaker in front of the camera, than he is behind it, this is clearly visible. One might even wonder how he has that experience as an actor and as a director and be so far ahead with the material when at the helm of a movie.

So, the era is accurately depicted, even the jokes, sets, clothing, music-all fits the bill, although Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks is probably years earlier, thus not from this period. On that subject, Aerosmith and Dream On were more accurately chosen, although only for the trailer. The technical part of the movie was almost excellent, i mean there isn't any breakout aspect to put in the running for some awards although some people obviously think there is , all in all everything was good enough.

Maybe only William Goldenberg can get a nod over the others, but he'll have stiff competition from his other movie, Zero Dark Thirty and himself.

As this is pretty evident by now, he has two nominations in one category for two different movies. So, it will be pretty interesting to see which movie do the critics hold in higher regard-this category will tell. For me, that should be "Zero".

So, technically good, historically accurate, even a little tense, so what's the matter, you might ask. Very simple. Contrary to popular belief, that has been planted in most people's minds, there actually was no acting in this movie. Not a single part was properly played by nobody, including you, Mr. I can't understand where did this nomination come from, but in my eyes it is totally undeserved. Arkin and Goodman were of course fine, fun to watch, but the parts they played, others have played so long ago and to a better extend.

When we start off with Sunset Blvd. Arkin was fine, but for 10 minutes of screen time you just can't receive that kind of reception and you just can't make this big of an impact. It is not normal. Not that they are, those awards and guild-members. Mendez would fly alone into Tehran and train the six Americans to impersonate Hollywood pros — the cinematographer and so on. Their cover: They need desert locations for their movie, which would vaguely resemble "Star Wars.

One of the most enchanting scenes has Mendez showing the sci-fi storyboards to Iranian authorities, who try their best to conceal what movie buffs they are.

At the end of the scene, when Mendez tells them "you can keep em," they're like kids being given an "E. This preposterous scheme is based on fact. Yes, it is. Countless movies are "inspired by real events," but this one truly took place.

The extraction of the six Americans remained top secret for 18 years. They all returned safely to America. Ben Affleck not only stars in but also directs, and "Argo," the real movie about the fake movie, is both spellbinding and surprisingly funny. Many of the laughs come from the Hollywood guys played by Goodman and Arkin, although to be sure, as they set up a fake production office and hold meetings poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel, they aren't in danger like their "crew members" in Iran.

Key supporting roles are filled by Bryan Cranston , as the CIA chief who green-lights the scheme, and Victor Garber , as the Canadian ambassador who at great risk opens his embassy's doors to the secret guests. Affleck is brilliant at choreographing the step-by-step risks that the team take in exiting Tehran, and "Argo" has cliff-hanging moments when the whole delicate plan seems likely to split at the seams.

The craft in this film is rare. It is so easy to manufacture a thriller from chases and gunfire, and so very hard to fine-tune it out of exquisite timing and a plot that's so clear to us we wonder why it isn't obvious to the Iranians.
