And so late on a Saturday afternoon me and my beau went to the
movies. Our movie selection was “Argo”
starring (and directed) by Ben Affleck.
I knew nothing of what this film was about except it had Ben Affleck and
got a 95% positive rating via Rotten Tomatoes.com.
The movie is based on the true story of how a CIA agent,
played by Affleck, travels to Iran to extract 6 Americans who work at the
American Embassy in Iran. When the
Embassy is stormed by revolutionaries 6 manage to escape and are hiding out in
a Canadian Embassy. This story takes
place at the end of the Carter administration, chronicling their suspenseful
plan to flee Iran and home to safety.
This was definitely a film worth paying to see. It isn’t too serious or cheesy or
contrived. Its jussssssst right. Getting out to the movies was a good step
towards feeling “normal” again.
P.S. Its playing in
Rockville Centre which has its own power so everything there is still
functioning.
