This dark bluish background plus all kinds of spooky colors (including the wall 's graffiti, the heroine's white hair), coupled with inexplicable electronic music, what did it bring us? We can't help but ask, what does the director want to express here, or what atmosphere does this weird combination set off?
The answer is no sense, no reason! It is a style, a style of art, absolute formalism. In this style, the fight scenes dissolve tension and transform into rhythmic excitement; the confrontation between the spies downplays the intrigue and chooses to go their own way. It is this style that brings us a unique aesthetic experience, and because of this style, it brings new ideas to traditional and even rotten subjects.
However, we can't deny that this kind of processing of the picture, for a person who is focused on the event itself, kills the sense of reality. This style requires us to relax and feel the rotation of the picture for two hours excitedly, without thinking. , although many parts of the film will feature close-ups of the incident itself (the serious consequences caused by the leaked list, the heroine's humanistic feelings, etc.), but I doubt whether the excited audience can appreciate it.
This is a good viewing experience, and perhaps there is no value for deep thinking about this subject matter itself (there are too many of the same type, such as "Bridge of Spies"), so we should choose formalism.
Therefore, we don’t need to care about the narrative method of the film at the beginning of the film, then flashbacks, and then interludes, and the rapid change of camera lens caused me to be confused about the chronological sequence of the story for a while.
Overall, this is a good film, a good innovation (though not completely innovative), and a film worth watching if we don't explore the meaning behind the film.
