      Son is treasure, Kaizi is grass

      Seeing everyone's confusion about Mike's death, let me talk about my point of view:
      1. The reason why Owen saved the heroine was because of love. There is also his unwillingness in MI, a marginal figure. This has the same psychological resonance as the heroine as a scapegoat. He thinks they are shadows of each other. Compassionate each other.
      2. The heroine caused the death of a younger brother due to her own indirect reasons when she was young. She felt guilty, compared to the degree...

      Death of the Mac

      When I just watched the film, I was very confused about why the heroine killed Mac. After all, Mac tried his best to clear various organs in order to save her, and even did things that violated his own principles. But from the perspective of the heroine, it is not difficult to understand her behavior.

      The cause of death of the heroine's mother is attributed to Mac, not because Mac made the call to his mother. But because the Mac is what started it all. From the heroine's point of...

      How many people understand the plot?

      I found that few people seem to understand the plot. The correct one is this:
      1. The underground party feels that there is a ghost who has been hiding for many years (starting in 1982), but it is impossible to determine who it is - I will find out later. "Mother"
      2. The management arranged for the heroine to be an MI5 informant (a double spy), trying to get who is the insider through her, so the heroine in front kept the timer on the subway bomb and deliberately
      3. The...

      Seeing that the rating is so low, just write a few words

      Seeing that the rating is so low, just write a few words. It's actually pretty.

      The picture and rhythm remind me of two other British films, Boys 1, and Harry Brown, played by Lord Kane. Both are under the big framework of the story, and the details down to the fingertips are captured in every detail. So when I see in the movie they use the kind of copper door locks we used when we lived in the dormitory in the 1990s, and when I see the old grandma washing the last cup hastily under...

      Everything is for relatives

      I think this film is very close to reality and is likely to be adapted from real events;
      the heroine joined the Republican Army because of the death of her younger brother when she was young, which is understandable; the
      mother chose to go undercover for the sake of her three children, which is understandable
      ; It is understandable to see that the son chooses to go undercover;
      Mike's death was caused by the death of the heroine's mother. The heroine knew from Mike that her...

      Is it because my appreciation level is too low to understand what such a movie is trying to express? A woman's helplessness, a life tragedy, a mother's greatness, or the flaws of that era, I really don't...

    Evaluation action

    "Shadow Dancer" not only focuses on the external political thriller elements, but also deeply explores the moral dilemma of the protagonist (Sina Entertainment Review)  . As a psychological suspense film, the film is better to keep the suspense to the end. Director James Marsh portrays the daily life of the family under a special political background in great detail. The political disputes between the United Kingdom and Ireland are...
