    The long shot at the beginning is beautiful. After watching this, you can probably understand why they all say that "Cold War" is hypocritical and hypocritical. Probably this is the more psychologically realistic atmosphere of the Cold War and the love of life and...

    In fact, most of the time in the film is in London and The Hague. Where is Berlin? At the end, the Berlin Wall, which only lasted for three minutes, said it all: you sacrificed nothing but concrete and bricks. I don't want to belittle the fact that this movie is propped up by the actors, but if Richard Burton's acting is not convincing enough to make the audience doubt reality, how can it be said that this movie is still a spy war theme to this day What about the ceiling? You can't tell if his...

    Noir's nucleus under espionage. The story is concise and can be reversed many times, and the narrative is effective at the same time fully depicting the human nature of the protagonist and the ruthless cruelty of the system. Whether it is a spy who enters the system or an ordinary person who seems to have nothing to do with the system, in the end they are the so-called pawns in the overall situation. In the end, I almost didn't understand Nancy's ending. The innocents always get...

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.
