The plot is not difficult to understand, simply sort out the process

Personally think it's wonderful

I watched it late at night. It seems that the color of the opening part is relatively cold, and it is estimated to be very dull. It is used to achieve the purpose of hypnosis. The result is not sleepy. I have been reading it.

Many people in the short commentary said that the filming was obscure. In fact, it is not. Maybe they are used to the routines of American films. This film has not deliberately rendered some key plots, but this kind of film still needs its own puzzle solving and discovery process. If you have a good movie-watching experience, just sort it out, and you won’t see too much through the show. After all, if you know too much before watching this kind of movie, the fun will be compromised.

A background

Cuba’s trick-or-treating crisis, the American backyard shooting will pay attention to Cuba’s deployment of a large number of medium-range ballistic tricks, undoubtedly deployed by the Soviet Union, the range can directly threaten the United States, the United States is very panic, the US intelligence agencies urgently grasp two points First, Cuba’s mischief is already in place, but whether the nuclear warheads are in place, and if they are in place, they can be launched directly at any time. Military planes need to be dispatched to air strikes immediately. Second, Moscow’s attitude is to increase the bargaining chip, or to make a real move. Really fight, the United States must urgently mobilize, evacuate, and whether to preemptively. In the spy warfare part of this movie, the information to be obtained and transmitted is precisely these two key pieces of information.

2. How to transmit information?

During the Cold War, the Soviet intelligence service was very powerful. This information was difficult to transmit. There was an officer in the Soviet Union who had this information. Whether he was an undercover agent, temporary transfer is not important. This officer needs to disguise the film of the Cuban warhead as a wine bottle. The cork was passed, and the Soviet Union’s attitude stated in a pre-appointed code word that the United States sent the leader of the intelligence department and a beautiful agent to assist the male protagonist to complete this task. At the same time, there was also a special presidential envoy responsible for contacting the male protagonist and the protagonist individually. The surrender officer of the Soviet Union, the envoy’s specific mission is kept secret from the intelligence personnel assisting the male lead. Of course, he did not keep the secret because the male lead relayed what he told him to the beautiful intelligence agent.

As for the competition itself, winning or losing is actually not important, and the male protagonist has become the most critical person. The United States needs him to get back real intelligence to decide whether to start a war and preemptively. The Soviet Union hopes to find surrender officers and cooperate with the undercover officers assigned to the sister’s side. Use false information to confuse the United States and influence the decision-making of the U.S. government

3. Why is the protagonist so important?

Because there is a ghost in the United States and I don’t know which one is. The only thing that can’t be trusted is the protagonist. Because he was found temporarily, the surrendered officer on the Soviet side can only trust him and give the information to the protagonist. The chess master who was scheduled to participate in the game died suddenly and was poisoned by someone, which shows the importance of this position. And the male protagonist was temporarily arrested. It is also that both sides of the game have their own reasons to believe that the male protagonist can be controlled, but the male protagonist is A genius in mathematics and logic can always quickly analyze his situation based on clues. It seems like a soft persimmon, but no one can figure it out.

How good are the four male protagonists in chess?

Very powerful. The original American chess champion lost to the male protagonist 17 years ago. He played three games later. The first two games were affected by the hypnotist sent by the Soviet Union. But the first game was because the male protagonist played Drinking a lot of alcohol before the game, the hypnotist may have discounted the influence of him. After a seemingly random fall, maybe because of alcohol or other factors, the male protagonist can restore the standard by one move. Being drunk is a factor of underestimating the enemy. When the male lead plays the first game of chess, he is completely in a fragmented state, and he can't remember at all after he wakes up.

But the next day, he didn’t drink enough to save, so he controlled the hypnotist more thoroughly and lost cleanly.

On the third day, the agent responsible for contacting the male protagonist and the Soviet officer died of poison after conveying the details of the connection to him. The male protagonist was frightened. Therefore, on the third day, the chess was not played, and both sides scored half a point.

The fourth day involves joints, and the prerequisite for joints is that the Soviet players cannot lose. If they lose, there will be no dinner party for the Soviet side. Soviet officers cannot appear and join the male lead on the grounds of the dinner. Therefore, the male lead must play Make a draw, and the hero can control the win or lose without the interference of the hypnotist. The Soviet player is actually not the opponent of the hero

One of the two agents next to the four male protagonists is an inner ghost

When the five male protagonists judge which cork is true, the reasoning of the two brothers’ story actually uses game theory, that is, from the perspective of the other party, how to act in the best interest of the other party with the least risk and cost, so as to infer who is Inner ghost, who is the real surrender officer

If you understand the above content, this movie will not appear obscure, but the plot is very intense and exciting

It was the first raid sister article, which was very exciting and bloody, but I fell asleep after watching it three times, and I haven't finished it yet.
