Whether intentionally or not, the former prime minister did follow in the footsteps of the United States when he was in power. From this point of view, he was politically illiterate; there was a strong wife who could give him advice, but in the end it turned out that it was a foreign country. spy. For a politician, this is a complete tragedy: he has worked hard for most of his life and has become the wedding dress of another country.

Polanski's film, if shot in a different environment, must be harmonious; even in the United Kingdom and the United States, Polanski has suffered some "strange" treatment, which can also be seen as: when politicians are When mocking, he is also dissatisfied, and he also wants to use his power to "punish" those who have different political views from his own.
Ivan's role is similar to a "recorder". In most of the chapters, Ivan observes and records the Prime Minister as a "third party", as well as the people around him and those who are related to him; Ivan did not turn around until the secret envelope and suspicious photos were found. Entering his own role, he began to collect evidence for the investigation of the "truth". Although he has been hunted down, at least the truth has been made clear. In the end, although it is a desolate position, his name will not be forgotten.
I really want to praise Brosnan, the performances of the 007 series for many years have given him enough elegance; the emotions of a political figure are shown with enough tension.
UK-US, very interesting background.
