Excellent Movie

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2013)

Being a Canadian, I had some preconceived notions that the accuracy of the movie would be in question, shifting the importance of the contributions of the Officials at the Canadian Embassy to the American CIA during the hostage crisis. I thought it was quite clever how the ending was handled that made me wonder if our own media hadn't skewed the events in favour of the Canadians. Apart from that, the movie was suspenseful and gave us a great insight of what life would have been like in Iran during the revolution. There was a lot of great historical information presented in a very entertaining way. The acting was superb and believable. There is little doubt as to why it won an Oscar for best motion picture of the year.
