I never watched the movie and I’m 110 % sure that the movie goes to the american favour.Now a days USA is trying by hook or crook to spread propaganda against Iran as much as they can. Another prediction this movie will definitely win Oscar,because history has proven that movies like these pictured by Hollywood always wins to show that american cause is based on justice.One thing I suggest,please don’t believe what you see and it is hard to find justice now a days.

P.S: I’m not Irani patriot but I just tried all the readers to be aware

I have very strong reservations about movies based on history or important events with a disclaimer that
a) it is dramatized
b) is a work of fiction
The disclaimer usually ignored by most movie goers and the content of movie end up becoming in some sens the defining history. I have seen such movies made in India and was completely aghast at the treatment of historical characters in ‘Jodha Akbar’ and ‘Ashoka’.

Iran and Taliban?, vow you are confused!!. You are probably going to enjoy that movie. Remember there are no Oscars for watching the movie.

Winning wars on the movie screen that they could not win on the battle field is a business for Hollywood, 100 minutes of false glory for $5.00, remember how one Rambo brought the entire Vietnamese army to it’s knees when half a million Rambos couldn’t accomplish that on the battle field and the cost was a lot higher than $5.00.

Not all societies are shallow enough to enjoy lies.

Only if the producer does not project the film directly or indirectly as ‘based on facts’

Enjoy the movie as a work of fiction — why bug yourself with realities of life.

Everyone got out eventually. No one died except 8 soldiers sent in to rescue them. And they died in an accident due to poor planning and execution. The hostages (many who were CIA) were taken prisoner during a revolution against a dictator the CIA had imposed on them many years before, while the guys who escaped would have been released anyway. It’s really a pathetic situation to dramatize when you get down to it, but to not even get it right? It’s like much of the history Americans are taught. Just so much distortion and lies by a government that brings these things down on us.

Ok, so plane chase didn’t happen. So what? Everything else is accurate. Movie has to have some thrill. The main thing is they got their men out. Can we say the same about our government if we were in the same situation?
