电影里在女儿的殷切目光下走上讲台说服市民同意某工程的Olle，正是生活中拍出越来越好电影的小本。
听听拍了Argo之后的小本说的：
“When I was younger and have the early success I had-it sounds like the worst Hallmark cliche-but I didn't have anyone to share it with. I don't mean that I wanted someone to sit by the fire with. But when you have a family and children, you kind of see yourself reflected in them. I want to make the kinds of movies that my kids are proud of, I have higher standards, in a way, for them.”
真不知道是Olle影响了Ben，还是这样的Ben才演得出来Olle。
