The label of the film is completely British, the style is very nostalgic, and the atmosphere is very everyday. The explanation of some plots is succinct and a little stingy. It may be difficult for viewers who have not seen the original book. In particular, George Smiley, the protagonist, appeared six minutes later, and after a close-up of the angle of his head, he suddenly heard that he was "resigned", and then appeared with a flickering eye that was unexpected and silently accepted. The script's formulation of this is, the faintest flicker in his eyes as he tries to prepare himself for the shock of dismissal.
Smiley's retirement is very leisurely. Sleeps until the alarm goes off, wears a new pair of glasses, swims, walks alone, watches TV, and the letter says his wife isn't home. He didn't say the first sentence until seventeen minutes after the film was shown, which was the fact that he was resigned at the beginning.
As George Smiley, Gary Oldman gave his most radically different performance ever. There is no trace, but it is very powerful and has a strong sense of presence. Of course, in the first and second episodes of Batman, I also experienced the kind of performance that did not see any of his previous wild and unrestrained body movements and expressions, which were almost completely extroverted.
He played the role of an old civil servant who was loyal to the motherland in his heart. He looked like an old accountant who had been working on abacus all his life. He had a brain like a computer and thoughtful thinking. He was quite confident in the professional field. Look differently. Is it difficult to associate such an image with the image of a spy in people's minds? His weapon is not agility, but the decades of work experience dedicated to the Circus, and the resulting insight into the way spies work, the insight into the heart and human nature. His appearance is solid, but his words are enough to have the effect of putting a loaded gun against the opponent's head. "That's war," he said to Connie.
The film is based on the basis of the original novel, and the adaptation is not small. It is basically reasonable and smooth, and it will not feel abrupt to the audience who have read the novel. It is not easy to delete and exclude the multi-character, multi-clue, multi-level and multi-structure in the novel, leaving the main branch. The movie highlights the main clues, main plot events, main contradictions and turning points very well, and the short and concise lines also add a lot of color. A conversation between Gopher and Smiley after the discovery of Gophers clearly pointed out the theme.
At the beginning of the conference room scene - the power of the boss was taken away and Smiley was taken away "by the way". The performance of the other main characters was really complicated and rich in content. The unstoppable inner drama is so rich that it almost overflows off the screen. Of course, their level of performance has been throughout the film throughout. Younger characters such as Peter Gillum and Ricky Tal are also well-received and well-received.
As a fan of Gary Oldman, writing this review will inevitably become a love letter to idol worship, and reviewing each of his scenes will inevitably lead to spoilers, so I have to treat him like a flood. Such admiration has turned into a literary tone that was spurned by everyone - he used to be like a young and arrogant teenager who was alone in the arena to seek defeat. After the experience of the rivers and lakes, now he is like a worldly master who lives in seclusion in the mountains, full of drama but low-key Introverted and calm.
