The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Comments

    The "battle" of the Cold War is equally brutal and ridiculous. Identity and humanity were disrupted and annihilated, becoming tools for opposing camps. In terms of drama, although this is a big drama that has been planned for a long time, the addition of female characters is still a bit of a drama. Even if everything is arranged above, it is still unnecessary for the male protagonist to have a background when he is on a big mission. Some special women get...

    There are no heroes and no extraordinary skills. The British iron man breaks the Berlin Wall and is an indictment of the hypocritical capitalist regime. However, the capitalist society can at least make such a movie in 65 years to criticize the hypocrisy of the capitalist regime, which makes him even more Be...

    The original book is more suitable for remaking into a series. The movie is limited by the length of the movie. First, it is dragged away by the complex plot development. Second, Le Carre does not write useless information. The psychological game and dialogue details deleted from the movie make the spy war lack. Logical plausibility, and worse, deprives the story of the "waiting" character of espionage. In the original novel, the waiting process of waiting for the fish to be hooked and piecing...

    Confidential education. The wrestling after the Iron Curtain of the Cold War, the foreshadowing in the first half could not cover up the well-organized routines, and the only way to climb halfway and only retreat from the Berlin Wall is the helplessness of a spy's...

    The gulf between good actors and great actors

    The facial expressions of white people are always much richer than those of yellow people, so when playing a role of facial paralysis, it is relatively difficult to control the range of expressions. Burton is a bit like an outlier among white people, and his usual expression is not very big.

    During...

    The tired, disillusioned middle-aged spy

    John le Carré was a particularly observant man. He was both a British spy and a successful writer, so even if he and Burton didn't spend a long time together drinking and binge-watching, he still saw through Burton's mental and physical illness.

    In 1964, Burton invited him to watch "Hamlet" on...
