Yep ...

I really liked both movies as movies in themselves, but here are good articles to be read about them, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, and makes you remember that cinema is rarely inoccent. And that you can't oversee the context. On of my litterature's teachers tried to convince me otherwise, that context and author were irrelevant to the understanding and analysis of a given text, and I never heard something sounding so stupid. The glaring evidence are these movies : can you ignore the whole geopolitical stuff in which these movies have been made ?

Exactly like orientalist art and knowledge, you can appreciate them for themselves, even believe some of their authors were genuinely interested in the people they depicted with the minimum of racist/politial thinking behind it (though I highly doubt was the case for the movies), but still, ignoring the politics, ignoring the whole context would be absolutely dumb. It's there whether you like it or not, whether the authors liked it or not, they acted in, around, with it.
And this good article, and this one, about Homeland TV series ... The storytelling was gripping, but yes, for anyone who knows anything about the middle east, you laugh a lot.
