Some translations do a full-scale counterattack. In fact, such a free translation is based on the plot, which is far less cold and concise than the literal translation. The first 100 minutes were dull, cumbersome, lengthy, and fragmented. If it weren't for the counter-attack in the next ten minutes, it would have been included in the category of documentaries. Who would have thought that this was the work of the screenwriter and director of The Bourneage.
Another serious film from George Clooney in recent years, Clooney's performance is quite satisfactory, and his image of a handsome old man oppresses the performance. But Tilda Swinton's performance is impressive. The details of the sweat soaking the clothes under the armpits in the film remind me of Camacho, the head coach of the Spanish team in 2002. The cameras of the reporters always found it accurately. His armpits, as a testament to how nervous he is. And such details often indicate the helpless fate of the protagonist. The female lawyer's organs are exhausted, and they can't escape Clooney's beautiful counterattack at the end, just like Camacho's fate that he couldn't get rid of the get out of class in the end. The plot of this film is like In an extremely boring football match, the two sides did not achieve anything within 90 minutes, but the home team scored a goal in stoppage time, which was basically completed.
Putting aside the entertainment perception and spoofing the theme, this film ruthlessly exposes the decadence of bourgeois society and fully reflects the ugliness of human nature. It is really a masterpiece of criticizing realism! (Khan...) In addition, a large flashback structure is adopted in the narrative technique, but because the main body of the film is too bland and trivial, perhaps when the memory ends, the previous plot has long been forgotten. Of course, the result that good and evil will be rewarded still greatly satisfies the ultimate taste of my generation.
