Chapter 642： Rescue is imperative

On October 15th, the premiere of "Argo" kicked off on time. For such a politically rich movie, the premiere will naturally not be selected in Los Angeles, but in the political center of the United States. Washington DC.

Similarly, it is not only the media and Hollywood insiders who come to the premiere, but also many political celebrities. As Ryan said before, politics has never been far away from movies.

The premiere is basically the same routine, red carpet, interviews, media group photos, etc., but when Antonio Mendez and he are both the retired spies’ wife, they walked with the Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor and his wife who participated in the incident that year. On the red carpet, tonight's premiere showed a different side.

Regardless of what Antonio Mendez himself thinks, he has been shaped into a hero by the joint efforts of Disney and the CIA.

In this land, the stories of heroes are often the most attractive works.

As soon as he entered the theater, a large number of people surrounded Ryan. These politicians, either known or unfamiliar, greeted him and greeted him enthusiastically. In their eyes, Ryan is the owner of a large media group and the best in North America. One of the rich is naturally the goal he strives for.

Ryan cleverly dealt with it and would never make any promises or promises.

Speaking of it, people around him are more inclined to the Democratic Party, such as Scarlett Johansson. A few days ago, the little fat girl publicly expressed support for Kerry.

After dealing with these flies-like politicians, Ryan couldn't help rubbing his forehead and walked toward the screening hall.

"Hi, Ryan."

"Hi, Tony."

Seeing Antonio Mendez who followed from behind, Ryan gave him a hug, "How does the red carpet feel?"

"I haven't enjoyed such enthusiastic applause in the past thirty years."

After entering the theater, Antonio Mendez gestured and said, "Since you increased the publicity, my peaceful life has been completely broken, you know? Ryan, last weekend, we shared 600 people visited my house and in only 20 minutes they ate up the food we prepared for the weekend."

"Enjoy all this, Tony!" Ryan patted his arm and walked to the front row.

Since the "Argo" memoir was released, the peaceful life of the Mendez family has been completely broken. Disney's limousine has taken the couple to Hollywood and New York many times. The promotion of the film has pushed them into the public eye. For these two former agents, this is a completely unfamiliar field, but it is a great opportunity to become famous.

Most importantly, as an unnamed person who has worked on the secret front for a long time, Antonio Mendez enjoys these ‘sweet troubles’ very much now.

Ryan did not sit in the middle of the crew, but sat with some of the film company executives participating in the premiere. As soon as he sat down, he heard the voice of Warner Bros' Gerald talking to people.

"Although we thought of the movie there are some problems..."

After a few conversations between the two parties, Gerald mentioned the "Alexander the Great" which was still in theaters and actually only had more than one hundred thousand US dollars a day at the box office. One of the most failed works."

Indeed, the previous "Batman and Robin" was miserable enough, but "Alexander the Great" had a higher investment, but its box office and reputation were worse.

"It is no longer necessary to talk about why the movie is so bad. There is no coherent script, no spectacular scenes, and photography does not contribute to beautiful pictures. The most important thing is that the characters do not really show any characteristics, just like puppets in the drawing board. Generally ridiculous."

This is a comment from fans that Ryan saw from the Internet a few days ago, which undoubtedly represents most of the audience's views on this film.

In any case, the vast majority of North American audiences directly put "Alexander the Great" into the ranks of bad movies.

The impact of this film is huge. Many Hollywood film companies have cancelled their epic film plans. Even Twentieth Century Fox is worried about the unfinished "Kings of Heaven".

After experiencing the unprecedented upsurge of war epic films, this theme inevitably encountered a trough.

The lights in the theater went out row by row, and the big screen was illuminated by the picture. After the classic Disney title flashed, the buzzing voice disappeared without a trace, and "Argo" opened the curtain.

"This is the Persian Empire. It is called Iran today. Starting 2500 years ago, one after another king ruled this land. The king was called the Shah. In 1950, the Iranian people elected Mohamed Mosadha-a Non-religious democrats-as prime minister, he nationalized the Iranian oil controlled by Britain and the United States and returned Iranian oil to the Iranian people..."

"But in 1953, the United Kingdom and the United States arranged a coup d'etat, dismissed Moshadha, and arranged Reza Pahlavi to become Shah. This young Shah spent money like a lot of money, his wife bathed in milk, and His lunch was airlifted from Paris by Concorde, but the Iranian people were starving. Shah used a cruel internal police to maintain his power, and an era marked by torture and terror began."

"Then he preached the westernization of Iran and angered those religious conservatives. In 1979, the Iranian people overthrew the Shah, and the exiled clergyman Ayatollah Said Ruhola Khomeini returned to rule Iran. Then this The country has gone through cleanups and death squads, and fell into chaos. The Shah, who was about to be killed by cancer, found political asylum in the United States. The Iranian people marched outside the embassy and demanded that the United States surrender the Shah. They will try him and hang him. ."

With illustrations and video materials, the film quickly and concisely introduces the background of the story by means of narration.

The fanatical Iranians launched a huge demonstration in front of the US Embassy. The continuous activities of many days and the indulgence hints of some people behind the scenes finally took place in a jaw-dropping scene in the history of international diplomacy.

Those followers of Khomeini rushed into the U.S. Embassy.

The beginning of the scene did not have Ryan's participation. George Clooney, as he said at the beginning, the shots were full of the texture of the 70s and 80s. He deliberately chose the old 35mm film camera to shoot the entire scene, even during the shooting. When the crowd was marching, I found the old super 8mm camera used in the 70s news video recording, and used this kind of antique equipment that has been rarely used for a long time, and completed the shooting of most of the close-up parts of the people.

The Iranians rushed into the embassy, ​​but the Americans could not wait for any support from the Iranian government. In desperation, they could only prepare for the worst and start destroying the secret information in the embassy.

Like the embassies of all countries in the world, there is always something ugly in these places.

For the sake of life safety, the limited number of American soldiers did not shoot to resist, but only fired a limited amount of tear gas. The call and connection between the U.S. State Department and the embassy have been ongoing, but they are helpless in this situation. Many U.S. embassy personnel can only Become a hostage in the hands of Iranians.

At this moment of crisis, the six Americans in charge of the visa hall luckily escaped from the back door of the embassy. The movie also slightly showed Great Americanism, such as letting Iranians waiting for visas to flee first, and they were behind...

Although some people were taken in by embassies of other countries during the escape, the theme of the movie was not in this aspect. At this time, they were simplified. They fled into the Canadian embassy and were taken in by Ken Taylor, then Canadian ambassador. .

Ryan’s script did not mention the problems of the United Kingdom and New Zealand. They are all members of the Five Friends in the English-speaking area. There is no need to discredit the other party in such vague incidents. The province will invite British and New Zealand parties in the future. protest.

As for the Iranians, who cares about them.

In other words, they are the black ones. After all, Iran is one of the world's evil sources in the eyes of most Americans.

Therefore, what is shown in the movie is almost a fanatical country where everyone is a terrorist.

When Tony Mendez single-handedly entered such a dangerous country, he just borrowed this atmosphere to show his heroic temperament.

After the incident, the US State Department and Washington authorities also came up with a series of measures, but there was no good way. 69 days later, yellow ribbons and blessing slogans were everywhere in Washington, but there was no progress in the rescue of the hostages.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to release the Shah in exchange for hostages. The puppets that the United States has cultivated all over the world are not just this one. If he abandons him, what will those little brothers think?

Compared with those who were taken hostage in the embassy, ​​the six people who escaped are the real headache for the US government. Once they are caught, they are most likely to face the Iranian gallows.

Since it is a standard main theme movie, it must be shown that the US government will never give up these six people, and will do everything possible to rescue them from Iran, and the heroes have reached the time to appear.

Tony Mendez, played by Ryan, dressed up as a typical American in the 70s.

He rushed to the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency Whether it was the yellow ribbons flying by the roadside, the shouts of angry people on the radio, or the slogans in the lobby of the headquarters to commemorate the people who died for the country. The theme of patriotism is being promoted.

The rescue fell on the head of the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, and they faced huge problems.

The Canadian side believed that the risk was too high and notified the U.S. authorities to quickly pick up the six people. Khomeini’s Islamic Guard assembled a large number of child laborers to splice images of U.S. embassy personnel shredded by shredders...

Everything shows that rescue is imperative.

At a joint meeting with officials from the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, a rescue plan full of fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Tony, a rescue expert, with reality. All the pig teammates were setting off the image of the protagonist, but Tony Can not find a suitable plan for the time being.

Like all American heroes, Tony also faces some family problems. Although this is vulgar, it is the most popular plot for North American audiences.

During the phone call with his son, Tony was prompted and saw the "Battle of the Apes" broadcast by the TV station...r1152()
