In "Argo", when Tony Mendez introduced the Tehran evacuation mission to John Chambers, Mr. Chambers made two conversations that made fun of Hollywood.
[Scene 1: Inside the crew trailer]
T (Tony): What are you filming?
C (John Chambers): Monster movie...
T: Really, does it look good?
C: The target audience won't like it.
T: Who is the target audience.
C: Anyone with eyes is counted as...Let’s talk about it.
T: It’s about the evacuees.
C: Where to save
T: The worst place you can think of.
C: Universal’s studio
(Tony handed John a copy of "TIME" with a photo of the hostage incident in the US Embassy in Tehran on the cover)
T:...During the occupation (the embassy), six people escaped. They hid in Tehran. All I want to save is them.
C: What do you want me to do
T: I need you to help me make a fake movie
C: (Haha) You have come to the right place.
T: I want to establish a production company and use filmmaking as a disguise.
C: But the movie will not be shot?
T: Don’t shoot.
C: So you’ve been to Hollywood, and you want to have a big name, but (T:yer) doesn’t do anything, (T:en) there are so many companions here.
[Scene 2: In the bar, John introduces the members of the "crew" to Tony]
C: (The first person chooses)... Let her be your editor, sometimes they also go as scouts because they want to eat free lunch. (The second candidate) He is your director...
T: Can you teach him to be a director in one day?
C: Monkeys can learn to direct in one day...

    In addition to the topic, the introduction to Iran’s history at the beginning is horrible, and the overall style is on the left, so one star is deducted.
