      A Most Wanted Man: The Details Reveal Deep Emotions

      A sighing good story in typical John Carrey style. A miserable and helpless young man, who wants to start a new life in Hamburg, is unknowingly forced to be involved in an "anti-terrorism" conspiracy, bringing out a kind-hearted female lawyer, a helpless banker, and a troubled politician's son. Everyone is manipulated in front of the giant social machine. Even Agent Bachmann (played by Hoffman), who has been in control of the game, is a pawn that can be relinquished at any...

      most wanted

      The film is based on the novel by John le Carré, author of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. The story takes place in contemporary Hamburg, Germany. A mysterious man comes to the local Muslim community for help. The man, half Chechen and half Russian, was badly wounded. He came here to recover his father's huge ill-gotten gains. Everyone around him doubted his identity. Was he a victim or a thief, or worse, with utterly horrific purposes? A British banker and a young female lawyer were also...

      "Most Wanted" slaps himself in the face

      First sigh one or two.

      Philip Seymour Hoffman is so handsome! Rarely would I find an old man with white hair, a pot belly, and a cigarette to be handsome, but it was Philip. With his unique charisma, persistent pursuit of his career, and maintenance of his inner justice, I felt that this man was a man. Exudes a dazzling male charm. It seems that men can be attractive without relying on looks, body, or money.

      Rachel McAdams (Rachel McAdams), played the role of the time traveler...

      "Most Wanted": A political game in which the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole

      The characteristics of Hollywood movies are more and more manifested, and it is not so much a victory for the industry as it is a victory for Hollywood art. Although most people define Hollywood movies as commercialization, it is undeniable that art itself is a commodity, and it is very expensive. Most Hollywood films are basically character-centric films, and these characters are more or less in line with the characters in the audience's mind and have very obvious characteristics. And the plot...

      Is the "war on terror" a religious war?

      (Spoiler) The protagonist of a spy war movie is not necessarily a muscular action hero, but a middle-aged man with a big belly. Günther, the protagonist of "Public Enemy Number One" (A Most Wanted Man), is a German intelligence officer who is good at espionage and defense; his work is not a punch to the flesh, but his sentence is heartfelt, because his professional skills are psychological strategies to obtain information . The "fat actor" Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Günther, a master of...

    Evaluation action

    The spy story in the film tends to be calm and realistic, and completely subverts the lively impression left by the "007" and "Mission Impossible" series with a repressive and cold atmosphere. (Tencent Entertainment Review) 
    In general, the film is a sincere work, including the creator’s "compassionate understanding" of the world pattern at the time, presenting the political spectrum and trends of the people in the post-9/11 era, and...

    Movie quotes

    • Martha Sullivan: What happened in Beirut?

      Günther Bachmann: You know what happened in Beirut. My networks were blown.

      Martha Sullivan: So, Hamburg's a punishment?

      Günther Bachmann: It depends on whether you like Hamburg.

    • Irna Frey: There is a difference between them and us. They want to hurt him. We want to help him. You see, Annabel, we're not your enemy. We're your solution.

    • Günther Bachmann: You're looking at me, at us, but we don't exist, not legally, not officially, because German intelligence needs a job to be done that German law won't let it do, so me and my people, we stay small. We stay on the streets. We make the weather. Our sources don't come to us. We find them. We become their friends, their brothers, their fathers, their lovers if we have to. When they're ours, and only then, we direct them at bigger targets. It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda, a barracuda to catch a shark.
