backstory
According to reports, the film is adapted from the novel "Red Sparrow" by Jason Matthews, who has been a 33-year-old agent. period, that should be the time since Putin was first elected president in 2000.
However, from the introduction of the film, I feel that the time may not be this period. The old American agent said that he had been in contact with "Mole" for three years. It was mentioned above that during the Khrushchev period, he worked as an agent in Russia. During the Khrushchev period, from Stalin's death in 1953 until Khrushchev's resignation in 1964, if this old American agent was in Russia during this period, that is, the Soviet Union at that time, it would be calculated as an agent in his twenties. The American agent is seventy or eighty years old, obviously this old American agent is not so old. According to the inquiry, Jason Matthews was born in 1951, apparently he did not work as an agent during the Khrushchev era. So from this perspective, it should be in the late Khrushchev period, the Brezhnev or Gorbachev period, or before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The background of this period is also the Cold War era and the late Cold War era. Some of the settings in the movie look modern.
The real "mole" said that Stalin became the leader, that is, he was born in 1925, then Putin came to power in 2000, he was 75 years old, that is to say, if the background of the story was in the Putin era, he was seven or eight. A ten-year-old man doesn't feel like he's that old.
Therefore, I personally feel that the time of the background of the story is a bit confusing. I can't figure out the specific time. It should not be the Putin era. It should have been adapted from the original book within a short period of time after the end of the Cold War, but the technology of that era should not be as present in the movie. developed. The movie looks basically modern time, the dull tones have hints of old times, and Russians dress and live in a very distant era.
Uncle Sam's main theme of the black fighting nation movie
During the Cold War, there were many ideological war themes, and espionage wars were extremely numerous. This kind of film and television works, the ideology that is produced, there is no doubt that the things of their own ideology are good, and the other party is bad. It can be seen in the film that the Russians are portrayed as selfish and self-serving images that achieve their goals by unscrupulous means. Only the United States can give liberation and freedom, a typical American self-righteous way of thinking. You said that human rights issues such as secret police and lack of freedom in the former Soviet Union may appear in Russia, and this is the case now. I don't believe it.
This film was shot in the era of 2018. It can be seen that the ideological problems in the United States are rising and self-confidence is declining. This is a film routine that only existed in the era of Cold War thinking decades ago. The same is true of the "China Scam" I watched some time ago. A group of Wall Street speculators who made money by shorting Chinese stocks actually made a documentary. They listed the evidence obtained by cultivating Chinese spies and confirmed all Chinese listings in the United States. Companies are all liars, and they are all using empty gloves to defraud the pensions of the American people. Of course, there is no denying that some companies do not abide by the law, but it is a bit too much to say that they are all the same? Black China is also black out of its realm, just like the black fighting nation in this movie.
In fact, it can be seen that in the current international environment, there are still some people who are still stuck in the way of thinking during the Cold War period, holding on to the banner of ideology and not relaxing, this is not good, and developing the economy is the last word. There is no winner in a trade war, haha!
Fighting nations as the keynote do not speak Russian!
The filming background of this film is Russia and Europe, but basically I didn't hear a few words of Russian. I suspect that many of them were not filmed in Russia at all. Russia trains spies and uses English only! The only distinctive feature should be the English that deliberately leaks Russian accents when speaking English. It can be seen that there should be no Russian fighting nation to participate in the entire film. After all, a movie that blacks its own famous family will be scolded for it!
A woman's self-awakening
The female film of "Big Cousin" No. 1 awakens in self-experience, and finally sends the person who leads him to the road of no return. Isn't the theme very old-fashioned, women become stronger, men stand aside, if men become charming, the world can have no women, haha, right?
The movie is basically complete, but the ideological theme of the old beauty is too serious, a little too much force, it seems too contrived, and the old American agent, some people say he is handsome, handsome? I don't think so. Only the eldest cousin is naked for the sake of art. You read it right. If you don't want to see the eldest cousin, this movie is not worth recommending.
