Excessive expectations are really not enough

When I read the synopsis and film reviews, I immediately felt that Uncle Colin was going to attack Little Golden Man again. But I was disappointed after watching it. It's not that Uncle Colin is not good. The main reason is that his teammates are not strong enough, and the director skills are not enough.

The main teammates are Nicole and Sanada. Nicole won't say much, I think this role has no pressure, and she can basically play as she pleases. But I just can't figure it out, there are no women in Britain? Is Mao Fei looking for an American actress to act as Mao Fei? I'm a foreigner who can't hear the accent, but it feels weird. . .
Sanada is a key character. I had hoped for him, but besides Uncle Colin's free acting skills, Sanada's performance seemed too lacking. Although he could see his hard work, he basically didn't feel like finding Bei. In contrast, Uncle Colin’s acting skills are integrated with the role, regardless of you and me, without any traces, let alone acting hard, okay? The other two young actors performed well, especially the young guy in the young version of Colin has a very similar temperament with the prototype.

To be honest, this film is not sensational. The shooting and narration are still delicate. There is nothing uncomfortable about the rhythm. The most critical and most flawed thing is that there was too much momentum before. A big suspense caused the audience to open their minds. All kinds of extinct humanity, extremely heavy mouth, and unscrupulous plots were made up. The final answer was revealed, and it was a drizzle and a gap. Greatly, it directly affects the experience of sublimation at the end.
Perhaps this is a common problem with true stories, and reality will never be as exaggerated as imagined.

The Railway Man quotes

  • Nagase: You are a soldier, Lomax. You never surrendered.

    Eric: I'm still at war.

  • Patti: Did you know Warrington is famous for vodka?

    Eric: [eyes on his book] You know, with all due respect to your friend, if all he mentioned is vodka, he's really only scratched the surface of Warrington.

    [looks up at Patti]

    Eric: the Black Prince? Remember the Black Prince? Had all his armour made there. Warrington was really the only place to go if you wanted a suit of armour. Sort of Saville Row in steel
