RJJ and I finally watched Argo, and if you were a fan of this movie, just stop reading now. Honestly, I fell asleep about halfway through. Yep. It was probably partially due to the half a bottle of wine I drank during and after dinner, but still. The Oscar winning best picture film should have kept me awake! I don’t think it was very exciting, and of course, stickler for history that I am, I was more irritated by the historical inaccuracies than I was impressed by the screenwriting or anything else for which this movie earned acclaim. Since I fell asleep, I had to watch the rest of it the next day. While I did get slightly emotional at the end when the group finally crossed over the Iranian border, it wasn’t a tear jerker, and I don’t think the drama was really that intense. Good thing I hadn’t watched this sooner and placed bets on the Academy Awards, because I would not have picked this one!
