In a historical drama, the audience is expected to see comparisons between reality and film. Argo captures this idea fanatastically in which, many characters with the exception of Tony Mendez are seen to have slight comparisons to their counterparts. The fake identities of the 6 who have to go through security for example are represented well and accurately draw a direct comparison to what happened in 1979 and 1980. This film teaches audiences what the Argo extraction mission is all about and how many audiences can learn the historical factors of what happened during this era.

Setting impacts the genre switch in how this movie is also a thriller in which, when the 6 are being chased out of Iran after showing security the storyboards and when the police car nearly gets the plane and shoots it down, the 6 manage to escape Iran and get out of their territory. With the amount of tension and energy that builds up during this fast sequence, once the plane gets out of their territory, they manage to serve alcohol on the plane as a celebration of being free from Iran. The fast sequences that make up Argo and the different cuts and camera angles used also make this movie a fantastic thriller to watch.

Overall large purpose

The large purpose of Argo is to display how politics control and how people can be easily manipulative throughout the film. With the historical and thriller aspects of the film, the director chooses to do these in order to keep the audience engaged and to ensure that the historical aspect is also what is being kept and true to the film and the Argo mission. The main purpose of Argo is to show that anyone can put their mind to something if they work hard enough.
