Fabulous movie

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2012)

We lived in Iran during the 70's for four years and this movie took me right back. I rarely get that emotionally involved in a movie,but this one was different. The scene where they are in the VW driving slowly through a crowd and the crowd is beating on the car really scared me since I was caught out in a mob where they were bouncing my small car around and I think it would have been much worse, but I saw as one man looked into my car, saw the children and then told everyone there were children in the car and let me go. Please know that this behavior is not indicative of the average Iranian...they are really wonderful people and treated us beautifully while we lived there. Ben Affleck did a great job as an actor and a director. Too bad it couldn't have been filmed in Iran so you could see what it really looks like. This is one of those movies I want in my own DVD collection. Don't miss it.
