Why was Argo the best picture again?

Rating: 3/10 (12 March 2013)

Just saw 'Argo'. No idea why that won the Oscar for best picture. What a load of propaganda and feel good nonsense that was. The movie boils down to this: Iranians BAD.....Americans GOOOD. Iranians angry, shouting, idiots lusting for blood........Americans calm, collected, peace loving saviours. What a joke. It's as if I was watching an old Western movie with the Indians portrayed as dumb, grunting, scalp thirsty savages. And the cowboys the innocent, freedom loving heroes who only wish for a plot of land with some pigs and a field of corn on which their young'uns can grow to become model citizens of the good ol' US of A. This is 2013, please!! We all know America is the most bloodthirsty country in the world, with a history of messing with governments all over the planet in order to secure its position of power and wealth. EVERYBODY knows this. How can you then, in this day and age, make a film like this? This movie is so one-dimensional in its portrayal of the pain and anger of the Iranians that it hurts.
Come on Hollywood this is sooo old, please show some balls and make exciting movies again. Movies about the dark side of the US for example. Movies about things you really do not want the rest of the world to know about, but don't realise the rest of the world already knows. Here's an idea, why not make a movie about how the US destabalised Iran by overthrowing Mossadeq, which left a whole nation broken and crying until this day. Make this movie, show how ashamed you are of this part of your history. Show that you are grieving for all those people, all those families that have been torn apart. Let the world know how the US, who have liberty and democracy as the pillars on which they have grown so big, feel about taking away the democracy of a country. Make it an exciting movie with suspense, action, love, death, heroes, traitors, villains....., you know, a movie everybody wants to go see. You will win awards, become famous, earn tons of money, ride cool cars, get to swim in pools with many beautiful woman and as a plus you will have regained some self respect.
Movies are very powerful, they can change the tone, or feeling, of a whole nation on any subject. They can bring people together or they can widen the gap between them. They can heal wounds or they can open them even further. I am sad to see that you have chosen the latter in this movie. A wasted opportunity.
