The foundation of this movie is the novel "Highly Confidential: The President, the Director of the CIA, and the Special Agents" by Stanfield Turner, who served as the director of the CIA from 1977 to 1981. The Coen brothers are going to do it this time, so naturally they want to seclude the CIA. silent. The CIA is the largest intelligence organization under the direct administration of the President in the United States. After 9/11, the personnel has been greatly expanded. The current director once said frankly: "The current research and analysis team is the youngest in the history of the CIA... In other words, it is disappointing. Said that this is the most inexperienced analysis team in the history of the CIA. "In order to recruit new recruits, the advertising company is also asked to design some recruitment advertisements that can attract attention. One work is a flying dragonfly, which flew to the CIA’s Technology Steering Committee to see how James Bond-style equipment was developed. The slogan of this advertisement is: "Leading technology and highly confidential." After the advertisement was broadcast, the personnel department of the CIA received 3,500 job resumes. Subsequently, the CIA made an advertisement for another department of the "State Secrets Force"... It is said that now the CIA's advertisements have ranged from technical media to fashion magazines, and even published an advertisement in the Arab Times. The CIA claims that they are looking for people who can unlock, understand disguise, and speak Arabic fluently... In short, no matter what kind of talent you are, the CIA may have a position for you. Presumably, this movie is aimed at this status quo. Although the characters in the movie have different personalities, they have very outstanding common points, that is-easy to suggest, stupid, greedy, poor reasoning ability, impulsive and unconscious, I am impatient, which shows a problem. No matter the agent, the intelligence agent, the president or the ordinary clerk, everyone is ordinary. In addition to the difference in appearance, there is a constant flow underneath that is difficult to control. Two hundred and five energy. In any case, the Coen brothers have nothing to say about their storytelling skills.
