Depressed, everything is depressing
The main tone of the whole film is depressing
Yellowed pictures, people with obscure emotions, obscure and peaceful torture, silent deaths...
Even the tears are left silently
Even love is so secretive
Everything is so numb and dull
In this spy game, everyone is exhausted and exhausted, but they are coping with everything in high spirits.
So the atmosphere shown in the film is very real, the real life of a spy should be like this, everything is hidden in peace
Most of the clues and information in the film are contained in the emotions of the characters. It deliberately puts some facts and truths in front of you, waiting for you to discover them yourself.
Therefore, we can only follow the protagonist to reminisce the past little by little, constantly reminisce about everyone's dialogues and behaviors, and peel off the cocoons to find the last clue.
The beggar is really an extremely thoughtful person, and also an extremely calm person, just like an operating machine that only knows how to think.
Most of the time in the film, he is thinking secretly, and it is difficult for you to observe his emotions. He hides everything in the dark, even the derailment of his beloved is such a blow, his face There is no expression that can be called a collapse
He is always in the dark, watching everything silently. I have to say that this is indeed a great role, and I have to say that it is also very well played.
The character of Benny has always been calm, doing everything the beggar asks him to do calmly, and is a very loyal subordinate. And when he went to beat Ricky because he was angry, I knew that his heart was so struggling and panicking. He has always been clear that his current behavior seems to be betraying the rounder. In order to find out the spy, he can give up his anxiety to do so. But if it's all a joke, he's betraying him, so he breaks down and beats Ricky.
Another bright spot is probably his homosexuality. When I mentioned this character in the first half, I always inadvertently mentioned that he likes to chat with women. At first, I didn't care about this detail, I just thought it was a playboy. But halfway through, when he angered him to let him go because he was worried about his lover, I didn't realize that this character was so depressing. On the one hand, he has a lover who loves deeply, but on the other hand, he is also afraid of the eyes of the world, so he has been expressing his love for women intentionally or unintentionally.
This character is so entangled that even crying is suppressed. But when he finished crying, he began to calmly deal with the next thing.
I guess Ricky had a crush on that girl, so he wanted to save her, and he wanted to live a peaceful life. But he couldn't make it, she died.
What moved me the most was the tailor and Jim who had been hiding.
The two of them were in love, deeply in love.
Because of deep love, Jim discovered something was wrong with the tailor at the Christmas party;
Because of his deep love, Jim will warn him, fearing that he will be exposed to suspicion and resolutely carry out the task;
Because of deep love, Jim recruited all the things that were undercover;
Because of deep love, the tailor would risk exposure to keep Jim. The tailor is so shrewd, why doesn't he know that Jim will become a danger in the future?
Also because of deep love, Jim will finally kill him.
Tailors don't spy for money, he said, he fights for a career.
So how could he endure his failure, watch his career collapse, and go to the Soviet Union to eat and die in the future?
He is an idealist, he can't stand all this, but he won't commit suicide, because suicide in his heart is probably the embodiment of cowardice
Jim understands him, so Jim kills him
The two finally looked at each other for a long time, that was when he was closest to him in the whole film
They were all in tears, and that drop of blood on the tailor's face was his tear
They fell in love like that, and then went straight to the saddest end
Spies suck!
All the characters in the film are excellent, everyone has their own shining point
But the disadvantage is that it is too dull, too trivial, and the editing is a little messy. It is easy to miss the point, but the overall is still good.
British films are really my favorite, they are all familiar actors, a group of old British men make me ecstatic
