I like to watch outdated commercial films of that era.

I have a strange habit. I particularly like watching Hollywood commercial films in the 1950s and 1960s, and I try to find some original laws of commercial films, some objective laws or valuable experiences that have been abandoned and ignored by modern commercial films. Fortunately, I have found a lot. Breaking through the Iron Curtain is also a commercial film that has long been completely forgotten by modern people. It took me several days to watch it intermittently. Hitchcock seemed to be out of standard this time, with the plot rhythm. I was a little bit out of control, the first half was too warm, and the second half was only exciting, but there was not enough suspense. This kind of suspense was what Hitchcock admired most at the time. We only saw Paul Newman running away. , But there is no particularly clear main line, and the political form is too strong, generally speaking, it is not a good work. But the portrayal of the characters and the description of the supporting roles still have something to learn from.

Obsessed with the style of these early color feature films made before the 1970s: old school, subtle, elegant, charming, smooth. The story itself is naive and has many loopholes. For example, the process of connecting to East Germany is a child's play (the male protagonist wants to find a farm, the mud is not rubbed, the female spy is like a donkey, etc.), the chain is long and worthless, only exposing himself, but winning. In tuning and pleasing, it fits the West I imagined from the book when I was a child, and it is wide and four stars. In addition, the early fights were as stupid as Peking Opera.

Hermann Gromek: Strictly for the birds, huh? They still say that? We used to say it all the time. It's strictly for the "boids."
