After watching "Spy Allies", I first went to Baidu to find out its release time, 2016. In this exaggerated movie era that emphasizes fragmented narratives and dazzling background lighting, this film is more like a classic retro European nostalgic movie, paying tribute to the beautiful era of the 1980s when art masters were born. The film does not use flashbacks to describe these narrative tricks, there are no twists and turns of emotional fluctuations, and there are no bizarre special effects processing, but it is this kind of unrestrained narrative rhythm and several crucial time inflection points. The protagonist is in the bloody love of life and death.
The film's attention to detail in the characters' expressions is commendable. Max met Maryan for the first time on the balcony at midnight, with a stiff and indifferent official face; when the two were driving away after assassinating the German envoy, the trust and attachment they showed when they looked at each other; when Max was told by his boss that his wife was a German spy The confusion and helplessness in his eyes; Maryan 's hesitation several times when she was waiting in the car for her husband to enter the jewelry store to get rid of the offline line; Max's despair and helplessness with the windbreaker draped over Maryan 's body and kneeling on the side... Through Through the eyes of two powerful actors, Pitt and Marion, a poignant and beautiful love in the war-torn era is displayed in front of our eyes.
Another commendable aspect of the film is the setting of the subject matter. Before watching the movie, look at the introduction, the label settings of World War II and spies, and Pete's character design, it is easy to reminiscent of the Anti-German War drama, full of thrilling gunfights and wits and spy suspense elements... However, As the plot unfolds, what is shown to the audience is a tender and beautiful love. The so-called war and the so-called espionage are just a derivative of it...especially the part where Max asks Maryan to play the piano and learns that his wife is a spy In an instant, anger, hesitation, disappointment, pity... a variety of emotions spewed out together, and finally transformed into Max's angry fist and the hands that gently held Maryan 's cheek... At this moment of life and death, he was unwilling to turn his back on his own. The motherland, he is also unwilling to give up precious love, he did his best as a man and an English gentleman to achieve this balance: while helping his wife escape, he did not forget to eradicate the German spies lurking around. Although Max was not able to go away with Maryan in the end, perhaps, it was this destructive and regrettable ending that explained the true meaning of love more profoundly: I miss you, nothing to do with romance; I miss you, nothing to do with the world; I love you You, have nothing to do with the world. Just because I saw you in a hurry among the earthly crowds.
