      "The Incident of the KGB"

      Originally called "Farewell". It's a true spy story from the 1980s. The film was shot in France in 2015.

      "Farewell" is a pseudonym for a KGB agent, Vladimir. He holds a high position in the KGB and has a happy family. He loved his motherland and saw that the Soviet Union's economy was in trouble in recent years, and the people were dissatisfied. He tried to change this status quo, so by providing a lot of information to the French intelligence services, to achieve the purpose of...

      Dialogue with the KGB Incident

      At the 37th minute of the film, the protagonist Grigoriev and Pierre had the following dialogue: G: Communism is a beautiful dream. P: Yes, the streets are full of happiness, and the people are so happy that they fly to the sky. This dream is difficult to achieve. G: Do you know what our country was like in 1917? Nothing like the Middle Ages. Later, it took us 40 years to realize manned spaceflight, the first one! But today, the whole society has stopped developing, and we have to push it...

      Heartbreaking movie

       Guillaume Canet's performance wasn't great. I think he speaks in one tune in every film, and in this cold Moscow with the US-Soviet Cold War in the background, he still roars at everyone. Although the actors are average, the storyline is still easy to move people. A "special" character runs through the whole movie, and the special characters of the special period of the spy have a unique reason.
      The young male protagonist spends his time in romantic Paris with his sweet wife and son....

      The hand that knocked down the dominoes in The Infernal Affairs of the KGB



      Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Who knocked down this giant domino? "The Infernal Affairs of the KGB" attempts to restore the truth of the event, but history can only be approached by patchwork and conjecture. After all, the operational trajectory of history follows the principles of quantum physics. The influence of the observer on the observed is destined to hide the truth behind the veil of uncertainty.

      Go to the library director to watch the movie

      I wrote this review because I remembered its ending, the French were rescued, and Kudao died gracefully. Only this brevity can be remembered. The laborer sculptures and Stalin-style buildings in the film can be seen in my hometown. The visual memory made me comfortable, strangely, even after learning all the bad things about the Soviet Union. At that time, the whole world knew that the Soviet Union was going to collapse, some people were nostalgic and maintained it, some people pushed and...
