Given that such a film was released nowadays though, Affleck did include a 5 minute graphic cartoon/film segment explaining the evil CIA/SIS overthrow of Mossadeq and installation of the brutal Shah regime. I thought that was a valuable history lesson that most idiot Americans wouldn't have known beforehand. Affleck's character is also critical of those CIA actions in a scene before the character travels to Iran. There is also a sympathetic Iranian maid character who has the chance to give up the embassy folks to the militants but doesn't.<br /><br />If a movie of this type had to happen now then it is pretty good. But I agree that it's bad timing.Andrew Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955114058226995015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998867759586853536.post-36520988445083600212012-10-12T13:35:12.656-07:002012-10-12T13:35:12.656-07:00totally agree with you cindy!!! on point. totally agree with you cindy!!! on point. ummahttp://www.facebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998867759586853536.post-25826156091164718702012-10-09T21:24:22.809-07:002012-10-09T21:24:22.809-07:00Well, at least the MEK is no longer on the terrori...Well, at least the MEK is no longer on the terrorist list.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K97QZOYhwVkJon Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397712689070342222noreply@blogger.com
