Maybe I'm not familiar enough with Thomas Alfredson, so I didn't pay much attention to this film at first, but by chance, I knew that his last work was "Don't Enter", so I decided to watch him once. , the result is to live up to my expectations, it is indeed a rare good film in recent years.
In contrast to Don't Enter the Strangers, the atmosphere of his work inherits the gloomy and glamorous style of the previous work, the extensive use of fixed shots, and the character's speech does not emphasize the characteristics of the environment, which is still as obvious as ever. The snow, the hospital and the crumbling house are portrayed with an inhuman and gloomy taste, while the gloomy and gloomy Britain was portrayed by the director under the background of the Cold War in TTSS, which is beautiful and charming, elegant and charming.
The Cold War is the background, yes, the accurate analysis of MI6 is the key. The five senior agents, the tinker, the tailor, the soldier, the beggar and the protagonist Sethley are not only constantly struggling in MI6, some people make money for promotion, some people In order to support the family, some people are loved in their hearts, and some people are ideal for meritorious service. The poor Toby who overthrew the boss and the tailor who is a double agent are the focus of the whole film, and the cunning protagonist Sethley (or rather hidden), as a clue to advance the film, is also amazing.
The first of Sethley's novel trilogy, how the complex and slightly messy relationship of the original book is presented in the two-hour movie, the director has actually put a lot of painstaking effort. One is the circus Christmas Eve party. The flashbacks in several periods are actually expressing the relationship between everyone, but not in words, but in form and eyes. It is a test of the actor's skill, but for these British For old actors, how difficult is this? The second is to use JIM's encounter with Carl's shooting in Hungary as the starting point, and the story is spread out, and Sethley's investigation also begins from this, and it opens up. The deeper and deeper, the more and more people involved are involved. many.
In the Cold War, they were regarded as agents of the front-line soldiers, and it was not only their families and lives that were destroyed; more seriously, they were confused about their beliefs and in a state of lack of trust. Who is the gopher and who is the loyal person? What to talk about, everyone caught in it is not pure, but there is no way.
The rhythm of the plot is actually very compact, and sometimes I feel very rushed, which makes it a little bit worse in rendering the atmosphere of the Cold War. The most valuable part of the director is that he did not lose the essence of the original work, but intensified the use of the camera. Render this gloomy place.
The soundtrack is outstanding, with sporadic piano sounds, cold and eerie like London's weather.
Compared with last year's inspirational blockbuster King's Speech and children's film Harry Potter, the British have once again lifted Hollywood movies to a new level, and the original producer chose the much-discussed Thomas Alfred. Sen, is the key to success.
Looking forward to the second and third.
