Who really knows how to translate "shanghai" into "Sea of ​​Spies", so that others think that this is a sad movie that made people cry for the motherland, stealing information for the people and finally sacrificed, so it's okay to translate it like this, but At the end, I found out that this is not a spy war film at all, it is a tragic drama, a film in which a few men who complained about each woman either died or got hurt. I think it is called "Woman, Why Are You So Heartless"? More appropriate. . . . What a spy. . . This entanglement of mine... was really fooled by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. . . . .

First of all, let’s talk about the protagonist Soames, who is a master flirt. He is very good at seducing married women. First of all, he seduces a married woman and asks her to take her to a high-end party in Shanghai Rent. Tanaka, by the way, seduced Anna, the wife of the boss of the gang. The purpose of the seduction and the suspense during this period, such as stalking, following and other sneaky actions, are all to find out the death of his friend! And how did his friend die? He was killed by his lover's lover because of jealousy, which means love kills. The whole movie is filled with the phrase "who killed my friend", and at the end, he blushed and yelled at Tanaka with a thick neck, "Why? killed my friend"? I fainted deeply, please, even if you sell your color, you have to be for the lofty ideal, okay? And the gang boss Anthony believed him deeply when he first saw him at the banquet, but I really didn't see anything special about him, so that a vigilant gang boss believed after a sentence or two. he. Too pale, he is nonsense. . . .

Let's talk about this gangster and his wife, you listen to American jazz and eat Western food, we understand it is taste, but what are your names Anthony and Anna, I want to ask Hollywood, it's better not to use your foreign name in China, Which gang boss has a foreign name, and the husband and wife are talking at home with fluent English? No matter how developed Shanghai is, it is too far from China's national conditions, right? When I heard the two of them shouting at Anthony and Anna, my stomach hurt. Soong Meiling shouts "darling" to Chiang Kai-shek every day, because she grew up in the United States and received a Western education, her husband is the head of state, and the entire gang boss wife shouts "darling" to the traitor and gang boss who work for Japan ", my stomach hurts even more. . Now let’s talk about it separately. Let’s talk about Anna played by Gong Li, who is very beautiful and well-mannered. The screenwriter wants to portray her as a heroine who takes revenge for her father and has a sense of national responsibility, but the screenwriter feels very fake, a beautiful and unusually beautiful heroine. The woman who caused Soames's woman to post information on the street when she stepped down the stairs in the casino, what an attention-grabbing and easily exposed behavior, how can those lechers look twice? Moreover, in a dilapidated and bustling market, it is not easy to see a beautiful woman. Those evil people are still staring at them, and they will cause suspicion if they look at them? What screenwriter... Besides that Anthony Lanting, I can still find the shadow of Xu Wenqiang. I don't know what kind of man he is. What he wants to tell us, he wants to tell us the heart of such a man who lingers in flowers and raises his mistress. Have you always been committed to your wife? In the end, when you are about to die, entrust your wife to your own rival, but still take out the submachine gun from the car to save the wife, still do not forget to open the door, hold the umbrella and wait for the wife to get off the car. The gentleman's image is still very impressive Complimented, the gang boss is not bad for his sake. . .

Now let's talk about Tanaka, this Japanese, who has made a lot of efforts to find that girl. He thought he wanted to know some important information, but he just wanted to meet this woman who betrayed him, which is really disappointing. It's hard to connect with the fierce-eyed officer I met at the party at the beginning, and I was drinking red wine with Soames and talking about women's forgetfulness, and the whole thing was a man. Finally, letting Soames and Anna go is not in line with Japan's three-light policy toward China. Is this the Japanese in the eyes of foreigners? In the eyes of the Chinese people, the Japanese are brutal, brutal, cruel, and mean, but they are definitely not benevolent. . . .

And the Japanese informant who was betrayed by his girlfriend. He has been living a life of trepidation, and when he was dying, he couldn't believe that his girlfriend betrayed him, alas, a tragic man, from the beginning of the film I hoped that they would escape from Shanghai, because he just wanted two American Passport, leaving with my girlfriend, I have no fears anymore, seeing them pass the strict inspection and get on the train, I feel relieved for a while, but in the end he was arrested, if he didn't take his girlfriend away Not anymore.

This is a movie with a spy war gimmick but with emotional entanglements as the main line. If you want to watch spy war movies, this is not a good choice. The foreign team made Chinese movies, setting a historical background that the Chinese are so familiar with. This is a mistake in itself, tangled......
