Argo

Cotilleando sobre el segundo oscar de Ben Affleck me he topado con esta película, intrigante y cruda donde se vive la dura realidad de esos difíciles momentos que vivieron estas personas en Irán. Me ha encantado como te mantiene tenso y expresa esos instantes de agonía y desesperación. Me he quedado gratamente sorprendido y me doy cuenta de las grandes películas que hay por ver, así que a leer y buscar mas joyas como estas. #Lexord

One of the best movies of the year! A little known bit of history.

Great story , great movie !!

Brilliant film

magnificent, only Django and Lincoln rival this for film of the year.

Good movie, but I'm sure a lot of dramatic license was taken with some aspects of the film

As opposed to many, I wasn't alive at the time and I hadn't studied the 'Canadian Caper' before watching it - therefore to the unaware viewer such as I it was a harrowing, dramatic, and solid film from start to finish. If you don't fancy some inaccuracies being stuck in your head, read about the real event afterwards, but don't ruin the movie. Sadly as with all films based on true and widely known events, those who knew the real event can't enjoy the movie quite as much as they already know how the plot pans out.

Unlike afly, I was fortunate enough to be in a quiet cinema (release of the movie in England was ridiculously underplayed - I saw more promotion in France than there was in England) - there were three other people in the audience. In a proper cinema screen. Ironic that the movie was preceded, as is customary nowadays, by the anti-piracy-love-cinema advert where the cinemas are dusty and deserted... it was like a ghost town in there. I can only hope that that was because Salisbury isn't quite the sort of place to have audiences widely interested in an "intelligent film" and not an omen for the cinema industry - seeing a film in the cinema is an unbeatable experience unless you build your own full-size cinema screen, as a large TV and a surround system don't quite match up. Films like this deserve to be seen on the big screen.

If you are like me and never heard about the real story of "Argo", "Argo" is definately one, if not the best film of 2012 (My opinion of course). From story to location and even cast, "Argo" does its best to depict the real events with a little bit of hollywood flare and dramatic heroism. Ben Affleck does a very good job on his role and so is John Goodman,Alan Arkin, and Bryan Cranston as they create a very good and realistic cast. Broadcast material and pictures of the real events give the viewer even more assurance that this film is no joke despite some humorous scenes. From the great 70's feel to the very good Directing by Ben Affleck "Argo" is without a doubt a film I surely recommend.

Quite suspenseful, had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time, especially in the end. Highly recommend it.

IMO, Django should have won the best motion picture award.

However, Argo is quite good as well (way better than Lincoln) and it kinda makes up for Affleck.
