Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesAlfred Molina hated the fact that he had to hit Sally Field.
- PatzerAt the U. S. Embassy in Ankara, two Marine Security Guards in Service Uniforms are shown standing outside an entrance to the compound. In reality, they would be posted within the compound walls, in Utility Uniforms, for their safety and the safety of the American staff inside the Embassy. Turkish security personnel, employed by the Embassy, would handle security outside the walls, under the supervision and direction of the Marine Security Guards and the Regional Security Officer, a State Department senior Embassy official.
- Zitate
Moody: I don't know how to say this to you. We're not going back. We're staying here.
Betty Mahmoody: [pauses] What do you mean? How long?
Moody: I want to get a job here in a hospital.
Betty Mahmoody: What?
Moody: I want us... to live in Iran.
Betty Mahmoody: [softly] No... No...
Moody: There's nothing for me in America.
Betty Mahmoody: No... What? Are you crazy? We're Americans. Your daughter's an American! Moody, honey, you're upset about your job. I understand that. We're going to go back today and we're going to fix it.
Moody: I want Mahtob to grow up here.
Betty Mahmoody: [increasingly angry] No!
Moody: I think she should become a Muslim!
Betty Mahmoody: [screams] No! No!
[pauses]
Betty Mahmoody: You lied to me. You lied to me! You held the Koran and you swore to me that nothing was going happen. You were planning this all the time. You lied to me!
Sally Field did a great job in this movie, and yes since it's a true story - it actually happened - how about that? Yes it made me hate Moody and his family - and why not it portrayed their evil. And evil is exactly what they were so the movie did exactly what it should have. I think this movie is another great insight as to what goes on in the middle east and certainly doesn't deserve any of the criticism found in these forums.
