IB History of Europe 12B Mrs. Akker Argo Movie review 31 March 2013 Argo is a movie about the US’s problems with Iran in the 1980’s. I was pleasantly surprised to find it very enjoyable. I don’t tend to enjoy history movies or documentaries‚ but the plot really captured my attention. I like that the filmmaker gave some background information regarding the conflict because this allowed the viewer to understand what was going on. At the end of the movie‚ pictures were shown comparing the real events

Titanic Movie Review Titanic (1997) is a wonderful love story based on real life events‚ as told by Rose‚ the main character of the story.

Hoblit saw ‘these “executive toys”...as reflections of Ted Crawford’s persona and his psyche in the movie’‚ highlighting the antagonist’s
