Another cambridge spy

I watched Red Joan last night. The core of the plot is quite interesting. It is probably the story of the Cambridge University female schoolmaster Joan who loves peace and took the details of the nuclear bomb to the Soviet spy. The script mainly emphasizes one point in the narrative process. Joan is not because of the Soviet spy She betrayed her country only when she fell in love with the Soviet spy. She betrayed her country for the sake of world peace. Although there is nothing wrong with this statement, it seems a little bit to make a movie for this reason? Not cost-effective?

At first glance, the heroine may seem unremarkable, but she is still very cute after a long time. A few Soviet spies are all online... The British really love the Cambridge Soviet spy, thinking of "Yes! There is a line in "The Prime Minister" "It leaks like a sieve", (⊙o⊙)...

I think the script and production level of this film are at the level of TV dramas. Except for the WWII spy war + anti-nuclear warfare as a selling point, this film does not seem to have any particularly good selling points. I don’t know why the British want to shoot something that doesn’t make money at a glance. Is it because the British were so overwhelmed by the Cambridge Soviet spy scandal that the plot of the Cambridge ring was so long that they couldn’t digest it so many years later they still had to shoot. Cambridge spy movies?

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.
