By all accounts, the recent hit film, Argo, is a big winner. Argo boasts all the ingredients of a great story – a heroic protagonist who disobeys direct orders from Washington and pulls off the impossible rescue despite bungling and naive planning by higher-ups. The storyline was made all the better by the fact that it was based on true events and ended with the warmth and happiness of a family reunited.
But Hollywood doesn’t make too many films with tragic endings unless it’s a modern version of a Shakespeare play. So don’t expect a ton of scripts recounting the unfolding tragic farce of Benghazi.
