    I thought I could finally see the Korean War film made by the US imperialists, but it turned out to be a fantasy thriller with the Korean War as the...

    Halfway through, I want to hit 4 stars, but only 3 stars are left after watching. The rhythm is too slow. A good Cold War suspense film is slower than a literary film, and it is uncomfortable. In the Cold War, there are many legends about American prisoners of war being brainwashed into spies by the Soviet Union. In fact, there are very few real cases. I dislike Sinatra's performance, he is better at singing honestly. The other starring role is from Lithuania. I didn't even notice it, but I...

    The metaphor of this original version is still beautiful, and the ending of the film is very shocking. Laurence Harvey later played a political spy puppet in A Dandy in Aspic...

    This idea is very clear and detailed. The play is also very attentive. The fate of some characters in that era was really "connected" with the world, so why not today, although more than one billion people are under high...

    There are many background factors: the Cold War, the fear of communism, the prevalence of ideological research on brainwashing and human control, McCarthy... But after all, like the domestic movies of that era, they are all products of the Cold War era, so the classics of movies can only be Stay at that moment. I don't understand why it was remade in 2004, and it made the "candidate" become the president. It seems that every era has the fear of that era, and fear can make people...

    Standard U.S.-Soviet Cold War product, representing the official U.S. position during this period. The brainwashed Raymond Shang became an anti-American spy for the Soviet Union, and the code was: why not play solitaire? The story is still quite ups and downs. In the middle and later stages, it is discovered that Raymond's mother secretly colluded with Soviet spies in order to gain political interests, and became the real mastermind behind the manipulation of Raymond, which reminds her of her...

    1/10, Americans are narcissistic to such a degree that it is really speechless. How shameless to be able to make up such a story. The shooting skills are also unbelievable. In 1962, there were handed down classics such as Lawrence of Arabia and To kill a mockingbird. Compared with these two films, this film can also be listed as a classic? I was completely...

The Manchurian Candidate quotes

  • Dr. Yen Lo: Attractive plant you have here.

    Zilkov: Thank you, doctor. It's actually a rest home for wealthy alcoholics. We were able to purchase it three years ago. Except for this floor and the floor above it, which is sealed off for security purposes, the rest functions quite normally. In fact it's one of the few Soviet operations in America that actually showed a profit at the end of the last fiscal year.

    Dr. Yen Lo: Profit? Fiscal year? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Beware, my dear Zilkov. The virus of capitalism is highly infectious. Soon you'll be lending money out at interest!

  • Psychiatrist: Human fish, swimming at the bottom of the great ocean of atmosphere, develop psychic injuries as they collide with one another. Most mortal of all are those gotten from the parent fish.
