Latar Belakang Masalah Dampak positif dari semakin berkembangnya era globalisasi seperti sekarang ini adalah kemudahan dalam memperoleh informasi melalui penggunaan berbagai media massa. Salah satu media massa yang efektif untuk menyampaikan informasi mengenai realitas yang ada dalam suatu masyarakat adalah melalui film. Menurut Pasal 1 UU No. 33 Tahun 2009, film didefinisikan sebagai karya seni budaya yang merupakan pranata sosial dan media komunikasi massa, yang diproduksi berdasarkan kaidah sinematografi dengan atau tanpa suara dan dapat dipertunjukkan. Sebuah film yang diproduksi sebagai sebuah hasil kreativitas dan kesenian pasti memiliki sebuah fungsi, salah satunya sebagai sarana hiburan. Tak hanya itu, film juga dapat berfungsi sebagai sarana edukasi bagi pemirsanya. Senada dengan hal tersebut, Pemerintah Indonesia telah menjelaskan setidaknya ada enam fungsi utama film yang tertuang dalam Pasal 4 Undang-Undang Perfilman Nasional; film dapat berfungsi antara lain sebagai sarana untuk memperoleh hiburan, sarana untuk menyampaikan informasi, sarana untuk melestarikan budaya, sarana untuk meningkatkan pendidikan, sarana untuk mendorong terciptanya karya kreatif, serta sarana untuk meningkatkan ekonomi. McQuail (2011:35) menambahkan meskipun film memiliki fungsi hiburan yang dominan, film seringkali menampilkan kecenderungan pembelajaran atau propagandis. Hal ini perlu diwaspadai mengingat film cenderung dianggap lebih rentan dibandingkan media lain, karena sineas seringkali

The mission was real. 120 minutes –Drama/Thriller – 12 October 2012 (USA) Acting under the cover of a Hollywood producer scouting a location for a science fiction film, a CIA agent launches a dangerous operation to rescue six Americans in Tehran during the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1980. Director: Ben Afflek Writers: Chris Terrio (screenplay), Tony Mendez (based on a selection from "The Master of Disguise" by), Joshuah Bearman (based on the Wired Magazine article "The Great Escape" by) Original Music: Alexandre Desplat Actors Ben Affleck ...

Mark Lijek The story After Iranian militants stormed and took control of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979 taking 56 Americans as hostages, six Americans managed to get away and took refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. After two months of the Canadians putting their lives on the line everyday, the CIA and the US State Department try to come up with a plan to get their people out. Tony Mendez is an "ex filtration" specialist who proposes that they pose as a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a science fiction movie called Argo. Using Hollywood connections, Mendez creates a back story for the movie - ads in Variety, casting calls, inviting the media to a production launch - and then heads off to Iran to lead the six Americans out.

Queen “The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.” “I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” Extracts from “Sisyphus Myth” (1942) by Albert Camus (1913–1960) Sisyphus by Titian (1490–1567) 1548–1549.
