Watching the film for the second time after ten years, stemmed from an interest in the subject of espionage. In an interview about the movie, Gary Oldman said that the rhythm of the film, Le Carré's work, is like snow falling in winter. Personally, I think it is very incisive. The rhythm of the spy theme is actually slow and hot, which is very different from the fast-paced, emotional and direct movies. On the contrary, it is precisely this "undercurrent" rhythm and narrative that attracts me to spy work. The emotions and arrangements in the film are a work of art that needs to be calmed down and appreciated. But the role of Bill Hayden in the original book should actually be richer and more three-dimensional and more written (it feels a lot like Kim Philby, a well-known spy in British history), and there are not too many scenes in the film.
