"The Good Shepherd" shows the development history of the US CIA with a unique momentum, deeply analyzes the unique core concept of intelligence agencies, and adopts two time-space cross-promotion methods to reveal an unexpected ending. The structure of the whole film is exquisite and detailed, the dialogue is implicit and full of hints. The meaning of the details is suddenly clear, and the filming is fascinating. The accurate description makes the subject matter more connotative.
The problem with "The Good Shepherd" is that the clues of the memories are too scattered. The director added a lot of information to try to introduce how Edward Wilson grew from a young man to a wise, cold, and ruthless agent. The huge amount of information does make the characters more full and three-dimensional, but at the same time it also brings out the problem of unclear themes and unorganized, coupled with the relatively slow and lengthy narrative rhythm, it has already been wiped out in the long narrative process. The movie should use the simplest plot to provide the largest amount of information and unlimited thinking possibilities, rather than the most complicated plot to provide a relatively small amount of information.
