Graham Greene’s original work. I think the film renders the novel very well. Michael Caine plays Fowler very well. His face is full of vicissitudes and helplessness. The background of the story is the eve of the Vietnam War in the United States. The French are tired from fighting the Viet Cong. The United States intervenes, Claimed to support democracy and freedom, give money, smuggle arms, support General The independence from the French. France withdrew, Vietnam began to fight civil war. Describes the fragility of human nature, the American nationality (good for the world police Self-righteous). With such a big topic, GG seems to be easy to write, very casual, but the bit by bit makes people feel very heavy. Movies and books are worth watching.
Not long ago I watched The End of Affair. It is also a level There are a lot of stories to experience. When I first saw a movie, I didn’t know what I knew. After reading a book, I realized that writing is not a simple love story, but a struggle between religion and humanity.
Very interesting writer.
