Argo: Movie Analysis

Review on Argo
Mrs. Bornac MWF When the movie Argo began to play I thought to myself this movie may not have my interest. The Iran’s were very aggressive toward the Americans because they felt as if we were trying to harm them. I did not understand the language they were speaking. However, the film should have made the CC pop up at the bottom of the screen so we could at least read their conversations. When the Americans began to burn all of the files they had I started to question were they really trying to help the Iran’s or not. The Iran’s started to get serious by shutting the power off in the buildings so the Americans could not talk to anyone. I began to get curious about what would happen next. There

    In the movie Django Unchained there are moments in which still occur in modern times unfortunately. It’s about a slave named Django who partners up with a German bounty hunter, as the story goes on African American slaves were tortured, killed, and in my eyes treated like they weren’t even humans. I believe in modern society some things like this happen still. For instance, I support our police department no doubt, but just in this year we have had some bad cops kill African American people. In my eyes, some of them were still committing minor crimes and the police took it to far by abusing and sometimes killing the suspect. Taking their authority and force to far, but i’m not stating all Police officers are bad because they aren’t. It relates…

    Argo: How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History, the historical nonfiction book written by Antonio Mendez and Matt Baglio, brings the reader into the world of deception and espionage. As he describes the events behind the CIA’s pursuit to rescue hostages from Iranian captivity, Mendez utilizes a first-person narrative that helps present the story as historical nonfiction. During the event of the security check at the airport, Mendez’s usage of past tense language must remain in the story to sound historical; however, his personal diction and limited selection of detail develops a genuinely inhibited and professional tone, which would have to change for the section to become dramatized as historical fiction.…

    Men and women screaming, gunfire, sounds of breaking glass, and the furious exchanges of the Persian dialect disrupted the calm office setting. Sixty Americans crammed into a small office room not knowing what was happening, we (the sixty Americans) were being bombarded with hateful slurs of “American Die, American Die,” and suddenly we (the sixty Americans) were blindfolded. A fear and panic rose inside of us. Imagine this is you on November 4, 1979 when Islamic Revolutionaries kidnapped sixty American Embassy workers. The 444 day Iranian Hostage Crisis was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, because of its impact the office of president, specifically Carter, Regan and Bush and how it shaped and molded future…

    During the beginning scene in Argo, Ben Affleck’s reasoning for including the conflicts of two countries was to explain their beliefs and different government and political stances.

Written by August Wilson in 1985, Fences started off as a Broadway play that ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama in 1987. This drama focuses on exploring the African-American experience and looks deep into the heart of race relations.…

    The movie starts with the surface of the sun, where giant solar flares erupt into giant question marks, setting the ominous mood as we scan across the universe to all the planets aligning for the first time in 640,000 years The global destruction of the movie is based on the "Earth's Crust Displacement Theory" and in the movie; it's stated that neutrinos are bursting within the Earth's core, causing the crusts to be rapidly displaced. The neutrino explosion is in turn supposedly caused by the peaking of the solar flares in the Sun. In 2010, international leaders begin a massive, secret project intended to ensure humanity's survival, by building futuristic arks designed to hold 400,000 people. Additional funding for the project is raised by selling tickets to the private sector for 1 billion per person, effectively cutting off the chances of majority of people to survive. By 2011 they start to secretly move humanity's valuable treasures under the guise of protecting them from terrorist attacks, such as the Mona Lisa, to save humanity's history as well. The Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar, or the Mayan Calendar, is referenced in the movie. Earthquakes of intensified magnitudes wreak havoc all over the globe as a result of crust displacement. Huge buildings are destroyed, bridges are split in two, major cities are literally broken in pieces. Yellowstone Caldera, a volcano in the USA, erupts, sending massive igneous stones skyrocketing in the air, resembling meteors and asteroids. A mega tsunami destroys several key cities, including Washington, D.C., which kills the president of the United States. The arks save the people who luckily got in. The water levels recede, new lives are beginning and a new civilization and world order is created.…
