    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...

    The first half is a bit dull, but the part after the court trial is enough to make people hold their breaths. Richard Burton's performance was...

    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 Spy Who Came in from the Cold quotes

  • Alec Leamas: I'm a man, you fool. Don't you understand? A plain, simple, muddled, fat-headed human being. We have them in the West, you know.

  • Alec Leamas: Mundt was a Nazi, wasn't he?

    Fiedler: He was a member of the Hitler Youth... as a boy.

    Alec Leamas: Now he's a grown-up Communist. He's what I would call... available.

    Fiedler: Like you!... Shall we begin? Let me start by asking you an amusing question.

    Alec Leamas: Let me start by asking you one! Make you laugh your head off! Where's my money? When can I go wherever... wherever home is? I mean, Carleton's gone home! Peters has gone home! What about me?

    Fiedler: The agreement was...

    Alec Leamas: Agreement!... You've broken the bloody agreement and barring miracles you've broken my bloody neck too! The agreement was that I should be interrogated for two weeks in Holland, paid, and allowed to slip quietly back to England without anyone knowing I'd ever been away. And nobody would have known if you hadn't broken the story.

    Fiedler: Just who the hell do you think you are? How dare you come stepping in here like Napoleon ordering me about? You are a traitor! Does it occur to you? A wanted, spent, dishonest man, the lowest currency of the Cold War? We buy you - we sell you - we lose you - we even can shoot you! Not a bird would stir in the trees outside. Not a single pheasant would turn his head to see what fell.
