A fantasy film that glorifies America and makes Canadians out as idiots

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2013)

Jimmy Carter said, "I saw the movie Argo recently. I was taken aback by its distortion of what happened. Because almost everything that was heroic or courageous or innovative was done by Canada, and not the United States."
Tony Mendez sent a day and a half,working with the Canadian embassy but is portrayed as the mastermind. What a joke.
What is it with the American need to stroke it's ego non-stop? In WW2 Canadian troops were held back 2 days so the Americans could liberate Rome which subsequently caused enormous problems down the road.The America I know is self confident, strong and, excepting post 9/11 event was the moral centre of the world. (i'm speaking about government and not the people in the latter example) This film portrays itself as being based on history but has nothing in it that actually is. Not a single Canadian was consulted in the making of this film despite the huge role they played. To infer Ambassador Ken Taylor wasn't really worthy of the accolades at the end it a direct insult to history and the Canadian people. Canadians love America and this movie is a direct insult to the efforts and risks it's people undertook to save American lives.
This movie is pure fantasy and while it may be entertaining it gains it's worth at the cost of good people's efforts. Please! Don't get your history from the movies,sadly many will.
