Director and producer, Ben Affleck, receives the Oscar of the Best Motion Picture of the Year for Argo at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California, February 24, 2013.
The Israeli regime’s last military attaché in Tehran says the Oscar-winning Argo, which depicts the 1979 takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran, is not a realistic movie.
Brigadier General Itzhak Segev was quoted as saying by Haaretz that the movie was made out of a “small story.”
“They (Argo producers) took a small story and turned it into a big movie,” Segev was quoted as saying.
The retired Israeli general stated that Argo was a reminder of his own story of fleeing Iran along with other Israelis after the Islamic Revolution.
The thriller directed by the US filmmaker and actor, Ben Affleck, is loosely based on an allegedly historical account by the former CIA agent, Tony Mendez, about the rescue of six American diplomats after the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran following the 1979 victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Political analysts say Argo unmasks the elaborate US scheme to employ every medium in its propaganda apparatus to incite Iranophobia across the globe.
Observers have further lashed out at the director of Argo for portraying a stereotyped and caricatured view of the Iranian society, noting that Affleck has consciously sought to ridicule the very customs and traditions of Iran.
