I especially like watching the spy movie "The Tinker, the Tailor, the Soldier, the Spy", the storyline is very clever, the fog is layer after layer, and the suspense is one after another, which makes people breathless!
At the beginning of the movie, the director sends Jim to Budapest on a top-secret mission to find out the "mole" that the Soviet Union had planted at the top of the British Intelligence Service. Unexpectedly, this was a trap set by the Soviets long ago, and Jim was arrested after a failed operation. The director resigned.
The Director and George Smiley left silently as everyone watched. The 2-minute long shots and the desolate and desolate background soundtrack are particularly depressing. There is the first suspense here, who is the mole at the top of the intelligence bureau?
Retirement life is boring. The director died of illness, and Smiley put together the letters returned by the post office every day, with "An Smiley" vaguely written on the address bar. A second suspense arises, where has his wife gone? Why are all sent letters returned?
A long-lost overseas agent called the deputy minister directly. The "Circular Field" with moles was taken seriously by the Intelligence Department. He called the retired Smiley to focus on the matter. At this time, the film began to officially answer the first suspense.
The movie uses flashbacks to increase suspense and be fascinating
First, the missing agent was Rikitar. In Istanbul, while performing the insurgent mission, I met a beautiful Russian girl. She has information that there are moles at the top of the Circus. Just before revealing the truth, he was kidnapped by Soviet agents.
Second, Smiley recalled his encounter with the Soviet spy chief "Kara". At that time, "Kara" was captured, and the interrogator was Smiley. In order to turn against Kara, he said a lot of family affairs, especially his wife. And this also exposed the biggest shortcoming - loving his wife deeply.
So, Carla specifically sent the mole to seduce his wife. Let him suffer and lose his judgment.
Third, it turns out that Jim is not dead, he told the unforgettable years in Budapest, Hungary. At the same time, Smiley was told that Toby had come to him, asking him to forget about the "mole" and live a quiet life. From this it was deduced that the first Soviet spy was "Toby".
Of course, Toby confessed that he was nothing more than a messenger, and that there was another person.
Smiley asked Rikitar to send back information from Paris to the "Circular" and take the initiative to reveal his location. In order to completely eradicate Rikitar, "The Mole" will definitely send this news to Kara. And Smiley had already set up a lot of ambush.
The pace of the film is very slow, and some viewers will find it dull. In fact, the director just wanted to show the intelligence, calmness, restraint and keenness of the British gentleman spy. Only an old man who has stood the test of time can handle such a spy movie.
Especially at the end of the movie, when Smiley saw his long-awaited wife, he excitedly held on to the handrail of the stairs. Although there is not a single line, I can feel the joy in the heart of the old man. Really very touching.
