I still don't understand why the main character was played by Ben Affleck. I believe the main character was Menendez. He should have been played by a Hispanic man. The scene where he tucks a prayer card in his papers before leaving for his mission to bring the six Americans home, was an obvious statement about the culture of Hispanic Americans. I found it odd Affleck played the main character. Argo had superior editing. The editing made the film, but, I still don't see it as Best Picture. The editing was definitive to the suspense in the picture.
Menendez was given awards for his bravery, but, Hollywood never was recognized for the vital link it played to the success of saving lives. So, basically, Hollywood provided an award to it's greatness and patriotism. And it was. There is no doubt if Hollywood was not involved, Menendez would never have succeeded and there may have been dead Americans instead of those that returned to the USA well ahead of everyone else.
