    I watched the original Hungarian subtitles in English at Művész ArtMozi, an art cinema in Budapest. Fortunately, I wrote a nuclear weapons paper last semester. The title of the Hungarian translation is A vörös ügynök (red agent). The prototype of the story, Melita Norwood, is a true communist, true spy, and sincerely wanting to help the Soviet Union. The film was adapted into the original rejection of political interference in science, but was shocked by the Hiroshima nuclear explosion. He...

    The assembly line narrative method, the love line dominates, and the material does not have a natural climax. The theme of the dialectical relationship between peace and sacrifice is not prominent, which is a pity. It's very good to watch as a fashion film. The heroine loves every outfit after work. The color tone of the picture is textured. It seems that it was like "Spy League" in that...

    As a biopic, the characters are actually not full enough, and some of the rewritten plots of the story are a little bloody, and the reality is always fierce. I feel bad for the heroine in the...

    After talking for a long time, the Soviet Union's atomic bomb was leaked by the United Kingdom, so it could be manufactured in time. It can really degrade the opponent and find advantages for oneself. I don’t know what information was leaked, and to what extent can it affect the development process of the nuclear bomb. Anyway, it seems that without her leaks, the Soviet Union would not have nuclear weapons....

    The critical crossroads are how to keep or toss away those moments, and the hopes gained in reading and listening are consumed in light and shadow. Leave it to the second brush to make a...

    This theme and this two-line narrative really attracted me! The rhythm of the whole film is smooth and compact, the emotional line is entangled but moderate, and it also creates a little suspense, as if watching a How I Met Your Father. For this kind of history, we may only be able to tell and listen to the story, but we have no right to judge right from...

    The score of this film in imdb is mediocre. It is not difficult to guess that it should be the reason why communism and traitorousness were repeatedly mentioned. The old drama is really admirable. It is not a spy, but it is hoped that the authority will not harm thousands of lives for their own greed. War is not divided into countries. Only when rights are mutually checked and balanced can the people gain peace. Thank you, spy. The commonality of human beings is always greater than the...

    I really cried at the end, my nose and tears; Lao Xi Gu can speak with wrinkled tremors. I don’t know who started the Chinese translation of...

Red Joan quotes

  • Sonya: Nobody would suspect us. We're women.

  • Joan: [Reading a statement to the reporters outside her house]

    Joan: I have been accused of passing information to the Russians in the 1940s, information which accelerated their ability to build an atomic bomb. And I have been accused of deceiving my colleagues and my family. This I don't deny. But I have also been accused of deceiving my country.

    Joan: [Looks up from her notes and straight at the reporters and into their cameras]

    Joan: I'm not a spy. I don't believe in working against one's country. I wanted the Russians to be on an equal footing with the West. I'm not a traitor. I... wanted everyone to share the same knowledge because...

    Reporter: How much did the Russians pay you?

    Joan: Because only that way could the horror of another war be averted. And I think if you look back at history, you'll see I was right.
