Before everyone recognized Christian Bale as a model worker, he could be fat or thin for filming. Today, there is another model worker in the film and television industry - Cuan Fu Benfu.

"The Messenger" should be the largest among the curly blessing works that Earplug Jun has seen.

Sad for a second...

In order to show the harsh environment of the cell after being imprisoned, the passage of blocking the window and glass hole with paper was too expressive. At that time, I really felt that it was a bit subservient to play a slightly paralyzed character like Dr. Strange (purely a joke, no malice). ..

All of this highlights the special historical background and conflict of this film.

The film is set during the Cold War, before and after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

In fact, regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis, there have been many related works in the past, such as "13 Days of Shock", and even popular IPs such as the X-Men ("X-Men: First World War"). After all, our world has never been the same as it was then, only a thought away from destruction.

The film "The Courier" does not describe how the US (Britain) and the Soviet Union competed against each other, and how the wars were drawn around Cuba. Instead, it started from the experiences of the two protagonists, showing the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States (Warsaw Pact-NATO) during the heat of the Cold War. process and historical temperature changes. Of course, the film did not miss the opportunity to hack Soviet Russia.

Wayne, played by Cuan Fu, is an ordinary businessman with a happy family.

Although Pankowski had a prominent position, everyone was in danger under the circumstances at the time. Even at the expense of himself and his family, he was determined to pass on information that might trigger a world war and maintain the balance of force between the United States and the Soviet Union.

They could have lived a happy life and enjoyed the happiness of their family, but they had to write a tragic life.

In such a conflict, no one is the winner, and what is sacrificed is not only the happy life of the two camps, including East and West Germany, from the decision-making level to the common people, but also when people have conflicts over different values, Seek common ground while reserving differences.

Before the two rose up, when they watched the ballet "Swan Lake" together, they applauded and shed tears, not only because of the wonderful story of Swan Lake, but also because of the drama like the two of them, eager to use their own efforts and courage, To live to the death, to leave a happy ending for the upcoming unknown.

When I watched this movie, my heart was full of mixed feelings. In an era of conflict, no one can be alone and no one can be a winner.

In such an inner volume, no one can choose to lie flat.

The lamentation of ordinary people, after all, is only a note in the tragedy of the times.

If you want to ask how to avoid history repeating itself, there is an official saying that is very reasonable: in chess difficulties, you need to be sharp. Play steadily, wait for the opportunity, and finally win the qualification for yourself to choose a quiet time

    The subject matter is excellent, but the handling is too cliché. The characters are thin, the proportion of family drama is too large, and the ending is so sensational that it loses its credibility. A senior GRU official and an ordinary businessman, why did they choose to do these things, and what is the significance of what they did, these most important contents were taken carelessly. Should not.

    Based on a true story, I'm really embarrassed to say it doesn't look good. But the whole film is inexplicably filled with a kind of emmmm American emperor's "I don't want you to think, I just want me to think", and it doesn't even look like a film from a corrupt country. The reason why the second male defected is linked to the demonization of Khrushchev, and it is difficult for the audience to empathize with him. Ah Que is acting very seriously, and has lost a lot of weight, but no matter how you look at it, it is still a bit routine, so I can barely give it a 3.5.
