You won’t believe this but
its true!
Iran is filing a lawsuit
against Argo, and while director Ben Affleck was
snubbed for Best Director at the Academy Awards, hopefully he can at
least win this.
Calling Argo propaganda is
kind of a laugh coming from a country whose president famously claimed there
are no gay people there.
The state-run press is
apparently going after internationally renowned lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre.
The suit claims the film presented an Iraniphobic portrayal of the historical
conflict.
The film was admittedly
pro-America, which is a tad surprising considering Affleck's liberal activism
and general anti-war disposition.
