Not just a suspense film

Maybe it’s because I don’t know much about the history of the Soviet Union... The film was so fast at the beginning, the amount of information was so large that it was difficult to digest, and it was even difficult to understand the background of the story. When I saw the protagonist and his wife being dismissed and placed there, I finally couldn't help Baidu the film, only to realize that it was a film adapted from a novel based on real events. Speaking of "adapted from real events", I like the most: D Continue, after probably understanding the political background of the times, I finally connected the previous episodes. It became clearer when I looked at the following plot, and I thought it was a good story. In general, for a historical novice, it is still quite difficult to fully enjoy this film. First of all, the protagonist Leo, a heroic soldier who is loyal to the party, if the reason for his inner change is not understood by everyone, the charm of this story has been lost half. Therefore, for those friends who think that the story line is messy and indecent. My suggestion is that everyone should understand the background of the story before watching it, and don't watch this film with the mentality of just watching a suspense-solving film. At least I think it is more reflection on history than solving suspenseful cases.

The plot introduction is very exciting, but the actual story lines are not too connected, almost two isolated plots, which is also the case, the behavioral motives between the characters are also incomprehensible and fragmented, and there are many small details that end up It didn't affect the story, it was confusing to watch.

The front and back are a bit detached, the front is political horror, and the back becomes a detective film. I really don't understand that while they are being hunted, they are still busy chasing the killer. Maybe reading the novel will understand a lot. I probably flipped through the book, and the access was still quite large. Especially for the murderer's motive.
