In the postscript of the movie carter seemed to be taking credit for not taking credit for something he didn’t do.
I thought it was strange they didn't much mention the bigger hostage crisis; it was almost like they were trying to confuse the two events and convince the ignorant that the Canadian event was the main event...my suspicion is they wanted to steal Reagan's thunder and give it to Carter.
It was a try, but, as usual, to the honest, it was still Jimmah, being carried along by his silly lib suppoerters. I just imagine Affleck so surprised at the success of this wonderful film and it’s strong story line after unsucessfully trying to make Jimmah look good. He should’ve talked to us who really lived through it.
Anyway, we’ve learned to overlook all of it. We dusted off our Jimmeah adoration deflectors and sat through it anyway. We know he was inept and so hated by the Iranians they let the prisoners go the day after, not his electoral defeat, but after he was out of office, after the inaugural.
The story is still very well done, sorry Ben.
