How many people reviewing this movie were actually around during this time?

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2014)

I find the caustic reviews of this movie perplexing, and wonder how many of the reviewers remember the 1979-1981 time frame well enough to recognize that, despite some dramatic liberties that were taken, this movie is a fairly good dramatization of a very difficult period in international relations. What makes Argo good is its depiction of the time (including styles of dress and hairstyles that will hopefully never come back), the confusion, and what a mess the whole relationship between the United States and Iran was. What is also great is some of the dialogue,which is flat-out hysterical. I never saw "Breaking Bad," but Bryan Cranston had to have had fun with his lines in this movie.
