I think at that point Uncle Tony is already fighting Parkinson's.

I just now finished this movie-I loved it. Well done, Ben Affleck. Well done

do some research and you'll find the movie is mostly bs

So happy for Ben. This was a HUGE one for him.

Just saw the movie! Its was great! I enjoyed seeing the real Tony Mendez because he is a true hero. Ben should have been nominated best director.

"Argo F%*k Yourself". I love that comical running theme that goes on through out the movie

No. The most amazing thing is that Uncle Tony started his career doing graphic novels. And in 2018 yours truly and her 5 friends created a first ever graphic novel about trauma and mental illness. So even after 2014 I never stopped being his pupil. Antonio Mendez, this is for you- 6 art shows in 2023 alone and 2 more coming up. You ARE my hero.

Ken Taylor was definitely a hero of the operation. Without him they would have been taken. However, the whole Hollywood angle was 100% Mendez's idea.

Tony Mendez is a true hero.

It's a great movie....just watched it. This is the kind of movie where you shouldn't read into, until after the movie to learn the real facts. Otherwise you won't enjoy the great suspense and thriller this movie throws at you. This movie never advertises to be a documentary either.

"keep your mouth shut" Fucking hilarious!

Tony Mendez has such a sharp and dry sense of humor.

Get to writing there Einstein! You know all the facts! We want to know every detail! Thank you for clearing this up!

Amazing Movie!!!

Chile, 1973 and CIA. When we see movie about that?

For those who wish to know the truth about the 1979 U.S. hostage crisis, I will be glad to talk about my film THE GOLDEN VEIL, which was released on 1/1/11, long before Hollywood decided to make a film about the subject (ARGO). I am an independent film maker.

Ken Taylor was the true hero in this event.

LMAO! Tony is hilarious!

Amazing movie

Movie was beautiful. Tony Mendez is a true hero but was right about keeping it quiet cos countries that are in conflict with the America see the United states as liars and definitely not trust worthy. this has just made it worse. sad thing but still a good story to be aware of.

Gee, why would they think that? Could it be because we live in a 52/50 Twilight Zone where even someone as brilliant and talented as Jonna Mendez has to take her marching orders from...Red John and his Blake Association. We're no longer a democracy- hell, we're not even a meritocracy.

RIP Tony

the movie was great but had a lot of historical inaccuracies in it, thats what troubled me but still a great movie

This was a great movie.Tony is a great hero. There should be a movie about Mr. Tony Mendez a biography about his life and ect.

He was there for 1 day. Jimmy Carter stated that the CIA was a minor player. Learn your history.

My God, you're pathetic. You make it sound like he was in Paris or Acapulco- not a country taken over by a bunch of murderous fanatics. Uncle Tony could have been arrested and tortured to death or shot at the airport during that one day. Go and do research on the first years of the Nazi Germany and the Russian revolution and civil war when any sadistic psycho with a gun was the law. Why do you think there was not a single monument to or a street named for the first Head of the Kharkiv Cheka? Go Google " Saenko ". That torture with a rat from one of the Fast and the Furious- the Cartels didn't invent it. Saenko did.

watch talks by both Carter and Canadian ambassador to Iran turns out very little in the movie is true

I produced the first feature film about the 1979 hostage crisis. ARGO is second.

The Canadian Caper? Watching it right now. Very well made movie for it's time

It's all for dramatic effect, bud. Did you feel extremely nervous when you first saw the movie? Yeah. That's the feeling Ben was going for when he directed those parts of the movie. Don't say it's inaccurate. OF COURSE it's inaccurate. It's a MOVIE. >.

้he've sense of humor ^^

KEN TAYLOR WAS THE REAL HERO...

I have to agree with Tony, Ben Affleck wouldn't have been my choice either.

I don't know if Miguel Ferrer was still alive but I would have gone with him. Not because he's " family " but because Aunt Jonna keeps on talking about an agent as " a grey man " ( somebody " perfectly ordinary " ) and Miguel would have been perfect.

Saw it on KZread a couple days ago after reading the book. This is what's now considered Oscar caliber? There isn't a 3-dimensional character in it. The suspense everybody praises never seems genuine, it's contrived. The real events must've been pretty scary -- who needs familiar Hollywood suspense gimmicks to make it dramatic? When the big chase came on at the end all I could do was laugh.

"Move the vineyard to Manhattan." oh boy.

What does he mean by that?

I heard Ben Affleck is thinking trilogy. Up next, 'Bill and Ted take Vimy Ridge'.

"keep your mouth shut" LOL

Dude, you are aware that Benny here's making a MOVIE, & NOT a documentary, aren't you??... if you've lived & seen movies for more than a decade & haven't learn that movies ALWAYS steer away from historical accuracies by varying margins, man i feel really sorry for you...

Your talking to someone that could probably help shed more light on the topic of the present corrupt system...do don't waste your time. I woke up since 2001! But I happen to enjoy my movies. I do admit i forget how real life based movies can be misleadingl...i guess i loved this movie that much. Still no need for you to come ranting when you don't have a clue about me or my background. " That's wrong

agree! i like the movie, but it's not that great. Still Tony Mendez is a great hero!

why you don't go and educate your self about why Canada was involve they make the American hostages posed as from Canada so in that way they can take it out of Iran, for that was tony Mendez the one who made all the documentation for this hostage people go and educate y our self about fact dont just focus about who dint do and who do

Ken Taylor is the main hero.

Another one of my turbaned enemies ?

So are you saying you base ALL what you believe from the movies alone??... heck did you even go to school??...

If you are broad minded and wish to know the real truth about Iran and the U.S. hostage crisis that Mr. Affleck never showed in his film, you should watch my news interview - featured video on my channel.

T🇺🇸N🦁Y M👑ND🤲Z

so Tony is not a ''true hero'' ?

Who's an interviewer?

KEN TAYLOR

Not in the way this movie portrays him!

excuse me kind sir, would you bother to explain what this sentence mean to a non english speaker ?

CIA didn't like this

Tony Mendez looked like he didn't like ben affleck

get real

no true get your fact's real

hey , you don't even know where the movie was captured ... it was Iran no iraq OK? load of crap ??? WTF

pffff lol

Thankfully ARGO was long before we got overrun by the Wokey Wokes. Just imagine the scandal- an " Affleck " trying to play a " Mendez ".

Ah here we go again. Canadians thinking Ken Taylor was the true hero and Americans thinking Mendez was the true hero. ALLAH WAS THE TRUE HERO! Haha

ahahahhahaha - Tony |Mendez was on the ground in Iran for a couple of hours - he basically did jack shit - true hero .. how ridiculous - this is what happens when people believe the Hollywood version of things ... good grief - I weep for the education of our young..

Lie, lie, lie , lie

"I am an independent film maker." Hahaha... no he's not. the few Iranians who know him know that he's little more than a clown.

bullshit story Tony Mendez isn't the american hero, just another american propaganda film
