TORONTO — Canada's former ambassador to Iran, who protected Americans at great personal risk during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979, said Friday if "Argo" wins the Oscar for best picture there would be something wrong
Iranian Revolutionary Guards did not chase a plane carrying six American Embassy workers down a Tehran airport runway in 1980, as they do in the climax of Ben Affleck's “Argo.” And a freed slave in 1858 did not lay waste to a Mississippi plantation
The historical alterations that Ben Affleck made in “Argo” are tacky. But tacky is different from damaging, and Affleck's movie is very different from “Zero Dark Thirty,” as a look back at Joshuah Bearman's orginal story reveals.
