Argo - the Movie (DO not summarize the plot) Review

Argo - the (DO not summarize the plot) - depiction Review ExampleThe characterization Argo explores several motives relating to the foreign policy of America in other countries. These themes imply the role of the CIA, Hollywood and the tensions in Iran (Brown n.p). The main predominant theme that runs throughout the movie is an attempt by Ben Affleck to present the Americas perspectives on the Persian revolution. Most of the Persians perceive films produced in foreign countries with a lot of negativity and resentment. Most of the films and media productions aired on the Persian media attempt to explore the themes of cold contend and psychologically induced warfare. Based on these themes, most of the films and movies produced by Americans are perceived by the Iranians as a lack of cultural heritage but rather an attempt by America to use art to spread their political propaganda. By pursuing a sympathetic theme in his movie, Ben Affleck simply reinforces the suspicions that Ira nians have always harbored regarding the motive and intent of the rescue mission (Brown n.p).Ben Affleck takes a revolutionary approach in directing the movie. He pursues the psychological warfare theme by exploring issues that have historical and political bearing. The movie begins with a scene in which the USA diplomats are reprobate Mohhammad Reza Pahlavi. This calls for a critical review and analysis of the historical and political interest of the US in the Iranian revolution, especially through its foreign policy. In another scene, we witness the Americans bullying the Iranians in the US amidst the crisis. What the movie does is to present the Americans as authoritative and the Iranians as underdogs. It simply illustrates how the Americans employed their foreign policy to humiliate the immigrant Iranians on the US soil and even so to undermine them on their own Iranian soil. The movie Argo therefore manages to bring out the strained relationship between Iran and the US while delineation the Iranians as sympathetic victims of the US
