An open letter to Mr Ben Afllec.
Dear Ben,
I always liked you, as a person, writer, actor, and as a director. At least until I saw your latest work. Argo.
In an essay type narration or comic strip at the beginning of your much publicized movie, you have summarized the history of Iran, the place I came from, in the most distorted, lop sided, wrong, and border to fraudulent way which only in fictional world of Hollywood you could get away with it. I am talking about the so-called art work of Kyle cooper that takes away any journalistic credibility from your work.
As respectful that I am trying to be, it is a simplistic, linear account of what led to the Iran's revolution, and as close to the truth, as the Khomeini's words was about his love for freedom of Iranian people. It is indeed the same wrongful song that broadcast mercilessly in the ear of Iranians prior to their fall, to persuade them, and justify their historic mass suicidal move of 1978.
You show a photoshop altered picture of an upside down hanged from ceiling tortured or dead person to show the brutality of Shah's regime which was replaced by Khomeini's multi dirty dozens. I am sure you didn't do that knowingly, but
You know well that using that altered picture, showing it to your audience as a document, not only ethnically is wrong, it simply takes away all the journalistic credential that you have tried so hard to earn in making of Argo.
In the same short part, the account of down fall of Mossadegh, the picture of poverty ridden iran in time of Mohamad Reza Shah is equally wrong, and at least remains unresolved amongst Iranians to this date. In a way the way they are presented in Argo, justifies a revolution which introduced the world to a phenomenon called, "state sponsored terrorism", a prelude to the September 11 disaster, which remains the biggest threat to the world security.
Iran is now a depressed nation, and in deep sense of guilt, for being manipulated in 1978 to go against the same person that Argo accuses of committing all the crimes, and wrong doings. Today in Iran, the older ones remember the days of Mohammadreza shah, as the days of lost glory, with remorse, and young ones blame their parents for joining the frenzy movement of 1978 which handed the destiny of many generations to come in the cruel hand of Khomeini and company. Your apparent consultants were wrong . My suggestion is, if you can't figure out how a person or an era was, look at what happened when that person and era are gone.
Argo's conclusion about two of the most controversial and hotly debated events among Iranians, has totally, and categorically ignored all the arguments and valid documents, and sided with the one's who have locked themselves in a mental cocoon of unearned intellectualism. They, dear Ben, are responsible for bringing the catastrophic revolution of Khomeini upon Iranians, and to the free world. Argo took the wrong side , and ignored the rest.
The politics, and history of Iran is so complicated, and confusing, even for many of the Iranians, even the educated ones. A haphazard look and judgement does not serve the justice.
Oh by the way, in that infamous comic strip at the beginning of Argo, a clip from the late Shah's last interview with David Frost in Panama a few month before his death, was used. Have you seen the rest of that interview? For instance, the part that he points at two American oil companies who financed this costly operation we know as Iran's devolution? Or the part he points at General Huyser's notorious mission in Iran, when he was dispatched, by President Carter to go to the Iranian Army generals and deliver his devastating secret message to them? Did you know? General Alexander Haig, commander of Nato forces, and general Huyser's boss then, resigned from his post in Nato in protest for what he considered an unjust interference of Carter administration in the Iranian internal affairs to undermine the Shah of Iran, in the deciding days when the movement in Iran was not labeled as "revolution" yet. I doubt if you have. Otherwise you would've given it a different treatment perhaps.
Your previous works always suggest that you are a talented film maker, but in your own world, in Hollywood mentality. Please go back to what you are good at it. Forget about our once "home", which was brought down because of an international plot 34 years ago. Forget it. We, and you will be much better off.
If by any chance you are interested in the truth, of what happened, and have a few hours time to spare, then watch a documentary called Devolution. I made that film dear Ben, not with mega budget of hundred millions such as yours, but with a personal few hundred thousand dollars budget. It is an independent true account of The disaster forced upon Iranians. us.
I wish you had seen Devolution before that historical blunder at the beginning of Argo.
I will be glad to send you a complimentary copy.

American actor and singer Don Johnson (1949) won a Golden Globe in 1986 for his lead role as James 'Sonny' Crockett in the police series Miami Vice, in which he played more than 100 episodes. Earlier, he was acclaimed for his lead role in the Science-Fiction film A Boy and His Dog (1975). Although he had been acting since 1970, he also released two music albums. His biggest hit was 'Heartbeat' from the 1986 album of the same name. His later films include Tin Cup (1996), Machete (2010), Django Unchained (2012) and Knives Out (2019).
Donnie 'Don' Wayne Johnson was born in Flat Creek, Missouri, in 1949. He is the son of Freddie Wayne Johnson, a farmer and Nell Johnson (née Wilson), a beautician. When he was six years old, his family moved to Kansas. In 1967, he graduated from Wichita South High School, where he was involved in the high school's theatre program. As a senior, he played the lead role of Tony in 'West Side Story'. He studied at the University of Kansas as a theatre major but dropped out after one year, and moved to San Francisco to study drama at the American Conservatory Theatre. In 1969, he starred in the Los Angeles stage production 'Fortune and Men's Eyes'. The play included a prison rape scene with Johnson as the victim. He made his film debut as Stanley Sweetheart in the quickly forgotten drama The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart (Leonard Horn, 1970) about a confused college student's experiences with sex, relationships, and drugs. Johnson continued to work on stage, film and television without breaking into stardom. His notable films from this period were the acid Western Zachariah (George Englund, 1971), the coming-of-age film The Harrad Experiment (Ted Post, 1973), Lollipop and Roses (1974) and the ci-Fi black comedy A Boy and His Dog (L. Q. Jones, 1975). In 1976, Johnson was the roommate of actor Sal Mineo at the time Mineo was murdered. Every TV pilot in which Johnson starred failed to launch. He was nicknamed a six-time loser in Hollywood because he was part of six series that did not make it to television. In the 1980s, Johnson managed to get into a series that became successful, Miami Vice. He played the role of undercover police detective Sonny Crockett and formed a legendary police duo with Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo Tubbs. John Russell at IMDb: "It revolutionized television with its modern fashion, pop music, unique style and use of real locations." Crockett embodied the masculine cool of the 1980s with his thousand-dollar Versace and Hugo Boss suits over pastel cotton T-shirts, his Ferrari, Rolex and Endeavour yacht. Miami Vice aired between 1984 and 1990. Johnson won a Golden Globe and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for his role. Between seasons on Miami Vice, Johnson starred in TV miniseries such as the remake The Long, Hot Summer (Stuart Cooper, 1985). As a singer, he released the albums 'Heartbeat' (1986) and 'Let It Roll' (1989). His 'Heartbeat' cover version peaked at no. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the series ended he focused solely on his film career. Although films like Dead Bang (John Frankenheimer, 1989), The Hot Spot (Dennis Hopper, 1990) and Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (Simon Wincer, 1991) with Mickey Rourke, did not fare well with the critics, quite a few of them have obtained a considerable cult following.
In the late 1990s, Don Johnson became successful again as Nash in the television series Nash Bridges (1996-2001) about a detective with the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). Johnson received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1996. In 2005, Johnson briefly starred in the courtroom television drama show Just Legal as a jaded lawyer with a young and idealistic protégé/partner (Jay Baruchel). It was cancelled after just three episodes. Johnson appeared in the West End of London production of 'Guys and Dolls' (2007). He also appeared in films like the sports film Tin Cup (Ron Shelton, 1996) with Kevin Costner, the Neo-Noir comedy Goodbye Lover (Roland Joffé, 1998) with Patricia Arquette, the romantic comedy When in Rome (Mark Steven Johnson, 2010) with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, and the exploitation action film Machete (Robert Rodriguez, Ethan Maniquis, 2010). Johnson travelled to Europe to make the Norwegian screwball comedy Lange flate ballær II/Long Flat Balls II (Harald Zwart, 2008) and the Italian films Bastardi/Bastards (Federico Del Zoppo, Andres Alce Meldonado, 2008) with Franco Nero, and Torno a vivere da solo/I'll Be Back to Living Alone (Jerry Calà , 2008). In 2012, Quentin Tarantino, a fan of Miami Vice, gave Johnson a role in his film Django Unchained. Johnson played a southern plantation owner named Spencer 'Big Daddy' Bennett. In 2014, he played seasoned Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series. In 2019, Johnson played Richard Drysdale in the murder mystery Knives Out (Rian Johnson, 2019) starring Daniel Craig and acted as Police Chief Judd Crawford in the superhero series Watchmen (2019). Don Johnson married actress Melanie Griffith twice, the first time for a short period in 1976. Between 1981 and 1985, Johnson lived with actress Patti D'Arbanville. They have a son, actor Jesse Johnson (1982). Johnson had a relationship with Barbra Streisand. Together, they recorded the single 'Till I Loved You'. Between 1989 and 1996, Johnson was married for the second time to Melanie Griffith. In 1989, they had a daughter, film star Dakota Johnson. Johnson married Kelley Phleger in 1999, with whom he had three children: a daughter, Atherton Grace (1999), and two sons, Jasper Breckinridge (2002) and Deacon (2006).
