Love the country and love the beauty more. Since ancient times, many heroes have been so difficult to choose.
It still seems a little doubtful whether this is a spy film after all; if we watch a spy film and we watch "Mission Impossible" it would be the best, but in the rotten dark side of the city in the enemy-occupied area of ​​Shanghai , It is a bit nondescript to tell the love between such a US Navy intelligence officer and a big brother woman in the Shanghai underworld. In fact, I think what supports this story is not love but more about the patriotism of women, as netizens said: Men go to romance Now, women have to go to patriotism. In this case, it is always wrong for a man to believe in love or not in love, which is really hard to handle.
The so-called multi-party espionage war is the most complicated and methodical. "Casablanca" is of this type, but it actually has rules to follow, while this film is only based on the investigation of a former colleague and the lover of a Japanese intelligence officer, an American spy and a big brother in Shanghai's underworld. Entanglement, entwined into a twist, so we can also see that, in fact, as a human being, you can love women while loving your country, and you can also love your country when you love women. The two are not in conflict, and they will not compromise each other. damage.
In the film, Gong Li performed well, while Chow Yun-fat was a bit under-played, but his gestures were adequate, and the two shoot-out scenes of Fat Brother were also okay; Ken Watanabe looked unhappy; American intelligence officer David was relatively stable. An Zhijie's appearance is unforgettable. This film has been happening at night from beginning to end, and it often rains, espionage battles on rainy nights, and investigations of those fleets moored in Shanghai port are the preparations for Japanese pigs before the Pearl Harbor incident, which can be regarded as having some origins in history .

Inexplicably, a poem came to mind: The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is spring and the vegetation is deep. The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the letter from the family reached ten thousand gold.

In different cities, with different names, until dawn. The last sentence is also touching.
