Growing up in such an era not far from some major eras, growing up in an imperial capital where politics was used as a leisurely talk, and a family background stained with the country's mainstream tone and the characteristics of the times, it was difficult for me to completely lose interest and enthusiasm for politics.
From passion to disappointment and understanding, I just went from one side of things to the other side, which has nothing to do with the quality of things themselves.
As shown in this film, as Tarr said, the secret service, known as the intelligence agency of a country, is not doing the dirtiest things? With the tricks of a thief, the skills of a liar, the mentality of a gambler, and the viciousness of a killer. Just put on the cloak of the state and the veil of faith, is everything beautiful? Can everything be taken for granted? Is it human, is just, and does not need to be condemned and cast aside? !
This has always been a game, a game for the strong, and a prize for the winner. And their bargaining chip is built on the whole human body. This is not fair.
But you can't say that their so-called sacrificing the weak to achieve the big picture is meaningless, just like you can't deny that some of the benefits and success that these tricks and exchanges bring are what the world needs. Those who got into the political game, with their initial enthusiasm and sincerity, gave in to their system helplessly and understandingly after constant struggle and tempering. At that time, they truly belonged and identified with this country and system, instead of entrusting trust and loyalty in the original beauty.
You see, the characters in the film are not so much relying on faith to maintain their loyalty, but rather to maintain their sincerity through emotion. Although emotion is the most unstable parameter, only the accuracy and authenticity of this parameter are the most certain things for everyone.
I really appreciate the director's meticulousness, the foreshadowing and metaphors everywhere, from the words of the characters, from the details of everything, even the presentation of one scene is part of the story.
As for the actors, I was pleasantly surprised by Benedict's malleability. Compared with the neurotic Sherlock Holmes, the handsome and reliable horse boy Peter is obviously more likable. For the rest of you, you should be strong when you are old, whether it is really ginger or old spicy, you can't accept it!
In addition, the biggest highlight of the film - the base! Director, do you want to cater to the public's taste or to follow the trend, or do you want to be so naked! But when I found out that Peter was also a part of the show, I was completely gutted. Why is
my favorite character all GAY lately... Well, I think I'm keeping up with the trend too. In this world, you can not believe in love, but you can't help but believe in love.
