Leans Right
Primary
The film's central conflict and its resolution strongly emphasize American patriotism, national security, and the effectiveness of covert action against a hostile foreign power, aligning with themes often championed by the right.
The movie features primarily traditional casting, reflecting the historical context without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative positively frames traditional identities, portraying the predominantly white male protagonists as heroes, with no critical commentary on their identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Tony Mendez, a historical figure of Mexican-American descent, is portrayed by Ben Affleck, who is white. This constitutes a race swap as a character established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
Argo is a historical drama centered on the Iran hostage crisis and a covert rescue mission. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, as its narrative is solely focused on the geopolitical events and the specific rescue operation, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Argo is a historical drama based on real events and figures. All major characters, based on documented historical individuals, are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their real-life counterparts. There are no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
