This film can be made into a pseudo-documentary or a biographical film. However, not only did it fail to be made into a textbook-like film that is difficult to understand, but the film was also made by the leaked country. Confidential incidents extend to more, deeper, and broader levels, among which there are more human and moral issues, and there are extremely ugly lies hidden under this democratic cover. This film is more nonlinear to restore the entire event. Multiple characters view the event from different perspectives. Behind this story is not only about Catherine, but also from ordinary people, brave media, and those People from all walks of life who criticized this dirty war questioned and angered the British government. In the end, not only Catherine won the victory, but behind it was the irony and dissatisfaction with the government, exposing the government's ignorance and the random trampling of human nature, giving the film a deeper meaning.

Catherine moved to Taiwan at the age of 3 to grow up, and then worked as a foreign language teacher in Japan. She has deeply felt the cruelty of the war and the suffering of the people after the war. After that, she served as an interpreter for the government communications headquarters of the British intelligence agency. member. Catherine has always been loyal to her government, but more loyal to the people. After translating a piece of news about the United States intending to defraud other countries to participate in the new world structure, Catherine was even more impressed. Together with those British politicians, she has the truth. Later, they still deceived the people, still pretending to be smiling and claiming that this is a mission for world peace, which made Catherine even more angry, and then a series of things were restored to the movie. A textbook-like movie is not only difficult to understand, but also unable to reflect deeper meaning. Unless it can really portray the characters vividly, it will win the audience’s appreciation. Otherwise, it will only become a meaningless and more “commercial” than a commercial movie. "movie of. Fortunately, this movie not only adds a lot of close relationships between creative styles and characters on the basis of restoring this incident, but also adds a lot of things to the plot of this already compact and smooth movie.

How does the movie make the storyline richer than the real event?

First of all, let's give an example, for example, the genre of this movie---thriller. Obviously, the film not only restores the horror plot of Catherine from stealing top secrets and sending it to the newspaper to a year-long long-term accusation, but also adds some more horrifying historical events and amazing truths, allowing the two to go with time. The line gradually advances to a climax. Secondly, the filming style of the film is even more special and unique. The film restores the entire incident from the perspective of Catherine. The film did not deliberately set the plot and far-fetched feelings, and did not know what will happen tomorrow. The plot advances naturally, adding a lot of real emotion to the compact story. Third, the portrayal of characters. There must be multiple perspectives, but each character does not seem to be too "protagonist", which makes the small story and complex emotions of each character more complete and layered to expose this lie, not only has different People's views and feelings about this incident also allowed the film to expose deeper political issues. Is their democracy really democratic? Then why does the government hide the truth from the people. So this film not only restores the scandal but also exposes the problems of the British government.

    The most difficult thing to do in this kind of film, but it must be done, is to convince the audience to make the Virgin look like a real person; although the filming is relatively rigid and boring, and the proportions of several story lines are not reasonable, but the task is basically completed. What I didn't expect was that the prototype was better looking than the actor, and it's a little funny that Observer's reviewer gave it a high score of 88.
