Could Be Best Dramatic Film of 2011

[DKosty123 · 12 November 2011]

This film based upon a true story of the now almost forgotten hostage crisis at the end of the Carter Administration & the beginning of the Reagen era. I hope it will get wide release in the United States The drama is a very good presentation of the time. There are details here of that need to be told story of what was behind those events.

This film written by Bahman Nassiri reveals the terror components behind the events at the end of the Carter Administration hostage crisis. It gives us a breath taking dramatic look at the real events around 1980 without the rose colored glasses presented to many of us by the US media.

This film has been made on a shoe string budget with the Author playing one of the lead roles. This makes the ending of the film very effective. Noelle Perris in her 24th film role is impressive. DVD sales of the film proceeds will go to "Save The Children fund". This movie is for the mature with mature themes but for those who like top notch drama.

Put away your CGI computer images, and let this movie show you how drama is supposed to be done without all those special effects.

A beautiful story that needs to be told!

This gorgeous film about the 1979 U.S. hostage crisis and the conspiracy that helped Ronald Reagan get elected, told from the perspective of a love story between an American and an Iranian is beautifully told and highly recommended. The Golden Veil delves into important topics like the clash of cultures we continue to experience, the important of friendships and greed and corruption. Executive Producer Bahman Nassiri should be congratulated for bringing this moving story to our screens - it is beautifully shot and left me thinking about many things days after I saw it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
