On February 24th the Oscar winners were known. Argo (2012) by Ben Affleck was chosen as the best movie. This movie is about the Hostage Crisis in Iran (1980) in which 6 American diplomats could escape from the US Embassy in Tehran through taking shelter in Ken Taylor’s house, the Canadian Ambassador in Tehran . Many believe this movie is not sincere in narrating the true history including former US president Jimmy Carter, some of these escaping diplomats and many others. The final section of the movie which happens in Mehrabad Airport, or the serious role that CIA agent plays in it, are quite untrue.

Some are of the view that oral history is useful because it is the words of people who have not been seen. It is meant by people who have not been seen, those who have not had any title or position. If we look at oral history from this point of view, it will be objected why the oral memories of famous people such as revolutionary leaders or war commanders are compiled.
