Political tension

Yesterday, I watched the 2005 Chinese-British co-produced film "The White Countess". The story and the setting were too fake, but it was a pity that a group of famous actors. Shanghai in 1936 and the living conditions of foreigners in Shanghai are curious, but this movie has a bit of Qiong Yao-style romance and angry youth-style literature and art. It is not unsightly, but it just feels that something is missing. The arrogant blind diplomat played by the actor Ralph Fiennes in the movie thinks about his bar like this: "I always think that this bar is missing something...now I know what it is---- Lack of a sense of political tension!" Then another lonely careerist played by Hiroyuki Sanada said: "We can attract some Communists... and then some KMT members..." These characters It's so strange.

Todd Jackson: She is the countess Sofia Alexeyevna Belinskaya. She has everything that I wanted for this place. She has the allure, the tragedy, the weariness. She knows that history has no place for her kind anymore. She is perfect. My centre piece.
