Spy Rashomon

The movie is more subtle. A former Soviet KGB agent, who was in ambush in the UK for many years, was not discovered until she retired (also evidence of the defection of a senior KGB official); the problem is that after being discovered, the grandmother agent actually had a stern word: herself It is not to betray the country, but to maintain the balance of the world (the foundation of peace). The problem is that not only the British people have no way to refute her.

Through her hands, it not only revealed the results of European and American cooperation in developing nuclear weapons, but also other scientific and technological achievements. And everyone thinks that she was for love at the beginning, and then because of the quagmire. But she thinks she found out that she loves inhuman at the beginning, and then she learned of the conspiracy behind it. The reason why she is still willing to cooperate is because she knows that Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union have nuclear weapons, so that the world can be peaceful, and common development is the foundation of peace. Otherwise, Europe and the United States will always be bullying. Later, the purpose of providing advanced technology to the Soviet Union was to improve the lives of the Soviet people and to ensure that there would be no war due to unbalanced resources.

The film is based on real characters, so even if the film contains a lot of imaginative elements, but showing the positions of both sides naturally allows us to look at the spy Rashomon objectively.

As for me, I feel that standing in the special position of a spy will completely face the influence of this "personal understanding and belief" on decision-making. Of course, this is the basis for "instigating rebellion." 19.7.12

Red Joan quotes

  • Sonya: Nobody would suspect us. We're women.

  • Joan: [Reading a statement to the reporters outside her house]

    Joan: I have been accused of passing information to the Russians in the 1940s, information which accelerated their ability to build an atomic bomb. And I have been accused of deceiving my colleagues and my family. This I don't deny. But I have also been accused of deceiving my country.

    Joan: [Looks up from her notes and straight at the reporters and into their cameras]

    Joan: I'm not a spy. I don't believe in working against one's country. I wanted the Russians to be on an equal footing with the West. I'm not a traitor. I... wanted everyone to share the same knowledge because...

    Reporter: How much did the Russians pay you?

    Joan: Because only that way could the horror of another war be averted. And I think if you look back at history, you'll see I was right.
