The movie is very good, there are ups and downs and conflicts. It was a bit too sudden when I was interested in max later, for example, I was looking forward to a wonderful court debate.

There are a few points that are quite touching. One is that the grandfather and Martin discussed censorship when they are discussing whether to report this matter. A kat was detained and answered the inspector what her job is (really clear thinking, clear thinking. )

I believe that all information collected in the name of the public should be made public. The only question is when.

I have also always believed that censorship when called for should be based on security issues alone not on whether a news report might embarrass a government.

split line-

What were you employed to do?

I translated signals intelligence and I reported anything I thought might be of interest to my clients. The foreign office, the ministry of defense.

So you worked for the British government.

Not, not really. Governments change. I work for the British people. I gather intelligence so that the government can protect the British people. I do not gather intelligence so that the government can lie to the British people.

Dividing line two

I don't object to being asked to collect information that could help prevent a terror attack. What I object to is being asked to gather intelligence to help fix a vote at the UN and deceive the world into going to war.

    The first half really makes people fall asleep, but the tension in the second half is not enough. The narrative is too focused on a personal perspective, and the lyricism can't keep up. Instead, there is no artistic expression. It feels no different from reading the news directly. Keira Knightley is still beautiful.

    A hot comment "revealed that the United States colluded with the United Kingdom to launch the Iran war." It was "Bush Jr. hit Iraq", okay? A few days before Bush attacked Iraq, this collusion was leaked to the media by the heroine and caused a great uproar. However, the Bush administration did not make mistakes. To talk about the Nazi government, the largest Nazi after World War II: the United States can enter the top two.
