Those six were no ordinary citizens, they were diplomats. Argo is a deeply troubling film. From the one-dimensionality of the Iranians to the complete lack of historical context ignoring prior US meddling and interfering in internal Iranian affairs[1]. The involvement of the CIA in the production[2]. The historical inaccuracies of the film[3]. The timing of the release of the film given Iranian-Western relations over its nuclear program. For me Argo is basically unwatchable US patriotic screen-fodder bordering on propaganda.
