I re-watched "ttss" this morning, plus the details that I inadvertently noticed in the previous few times, I found that the film is very targeted for everyone's character shaping.
There is a section where Smiley and Peter are in the same car, and a bee flies into the car. I vaguely remember that someone once asked what metaphors were in this passage. Then again, not every bridge will have a metaphor. If there is, then this paragraph should reflect the different ways of doing things and personality feedback of the two people. Peter kept waving away the bees, but they didn't go away. Smiley simply opened the window, and the bees flew out, pounding and pounding.
The opening description of the characters' personalities is a lot of ink, of course, it is completed on the basis of the foreshadowing.
Percy and roy go to see the deputy minister lacon. Percy's words and deeds are mainly to cater to and strive for, in contrast, roy speaks bluntly, regardless of percy's discouragement of satirical lacon. In addition, when there was a disagreement between percy and Control in the later bridge segment, Roy was also outspoken. This character is a man of integrity and not afraid of authority, and at the end of the story, he is also one of the few characters who stands firm.
The image of Percy Alleline is relatively complex. If we look backwards, after being trained by the control for bartending at the Christmas party, outside the main mirror, we can vaguely see his wife persuading him, and he and his wife are arguing - this time the plot is already a chorus (seemingly) , the two are arguing there as a background.
This part also directly reflects the hot character of control.
At Christmas time, control still has authority, and everyone is laughing at it as a joke. At that time, percy was just dealing with grievances, which was actually a personality instinct. Later (in time), Percy contacted the minister privately, talked back with the control, and then climbed to the position of No. 1. From a psychological point of view, this is the problem of inferiority and recognition. Not being recognized leads to inferiority, and the other side of inferiority is conceit, which stimulates the desire to resist and does not compromise.
Two close characters, Bill Haydon and Peter Guillam, are both female killers (the word is vulgar), and both are bisexual. The difference is that Bill is more dashing and calm, while Peter is more impetuous. Bill reprimanded Toby Esterhase for being a villain (at that time, Toby did gloating after the resignation of control), analyzing problems and dealing with things in a clear and unrestrained manner (a cliché concept in the 1990s). peter is more popular with young women, which has a chapter before the second espionage. The two also teased Belinda with their eyes, and in fact both are gay.
George Smiley's character is the most inked, obviously.
Toby Esterhase is a typical wall-headed figure. Another personality trait is insecurity (which echoes his childhood when he was living on the streets), and in the end, smiley just frightened him, and soon collapsed.
There is a character's personality that may be edited because of editing, or artistic processing, which may become a bug. When Bill was finally exposed, he was right. Then the scene changed. When Smiley came, Bill complained with snot and tears. . The reasonable explanation is that the former scene is the relief of "knowing that this day will come at last", and the latter scene is that after being detained, I finally relax and finally know what I have to face.
But in fact, the former is more like the director's hard shaping for the look and feel. In short, the connection between the front and back is stiff, and the director can't always expect the audience to make up their minds.

Also, the shaping of the lacon and the minister is interesting.
There is a scene where Percy is lobbying the minister in the locker room of the squash hall. The minister listened to his statement and glanced at lacon, who nodded, and the minister approved the plan. In this scene, I have always vaguely and simply thought that the minister was just a sleight of hand, and the assistant Lacon was the one who was proficient in the business of the department. After thinking about it carefully, this is a typical configuration of the British administrative agency. Politicians are in charge, and this role is often mobile. The real business is in the hands of the deputy minister, who is actually the technocrat of the department, similar to the executive vice president and executive officer. role as president.
Another finer detail is that in the previous paragraph, Smiley warned Peter to clear the door, because he would be monitored at any time. In the next paragraph, he used the angle of the surveillance camera - through the window on the opposite side, to describe the scene where Peter went home and broke up. This way of narration, kills two birds with one stone, avoids the complicated description of the breakup process, and connects seamlessly.
In addition, Peter's boyfriend at the time was handwriting something, and the pen in his hand was always in the middle of the paper. It looks like writing a letter. However, the latter sentence corresponds to something, presumably implying that this is a teacher. "Sometimes I think they share an idiot head," he said. Combining before and after, probably a teacher. It is the students' test papers or homework that are corrected, and the stupid students copy each other, so that the mistakes are all the same.
