Argo F!$@ Yourself


Well if you couldn't tell from the title or the giant picture I recently went to watch the movie Argo in theaters, oh and not because I got an email about. The movie was nothing real special on the way it was filmed or even in stunts or anything that usually attract viewers. The one thing that Ben got right was the story he chose to make a movie about was amazing. I knew about the Iranian Hostage crisis but had never heard the story of how they rescued the six Americans who escaped. The movie is one that I would recommend because it is truly an amazing story and whats more amazing is that its true, you talk about some film makers who God can use. These men to my knowledge weren't Christians at all and yet i'm sure the movie they are most proud of making was one that never was filmed and only a handful of people ever knew about. I think this is a great example of how God can use you where your at as long as your willing to be obedient. Ok now that the biblical tie is out of the way I thought the script and screenplay for this movie was absolutely brilliant. It didn't over romanticize the job of a CIA agent but showed it for what it was, a middle aged separated  man who probably lost his son and wife because of his job. He's not Bourne or Bond but just a regular guy who knows that he'll probably get fired trying to get the CIA to use his plan and he'll most likely die if its approved. The film was pretty darn good and after one line referring to the CIA agents as "Those old F@#!s off the Muppets" I knew it was going to be good. Whether you give a crap about my opinion or not doesn't bother me, but you should care about is Argo because those men Christian or not, risked their lives for people they hadn't even met and thats about as Christ-like as you can get.
