The current spy war stories, both Chinese and foreign, have been done incisively and vividly, so it is impossible to just rely on the story to make a difference among thousands of people, so instead, you should spend more effort in the other direction, that is, let your temperament Be more unique, make your character more individual, make your tone more literary, and make your appearance look less cheap. Of course, I still have to go back and forth. After all, this is a spy war story, and the bottom line of the story must still be maintained. The pursuit of temperament actually raises the level requirements in this regard, because the story must be told tortuous, profound and reasonable. Otherwise, all the dark energy produced after a long time of waste will become X-shaped, then it is better to be a simple and direct popcorn. In this regard, the film made in Europe obviously has an advantage. The spy war created by the British team really has a realistic temperament that is completely different from Hollywood, and it is done without sacrificing the story. A spy war story worth watching. It is necessary to have IQ and IQ, to perform and perform, to be nervous and nervous, and to have an atmosphere. There is even the most expensive part of this kind of film, which is really worth watching again.
It is said that this kind of film can't be spoiled, so I should talk more about it. I must be patient with this story, because his opening is quite messy to tell the truth. This is a story that happens from the center to the surrounding. The opening is short. Ten minutes is actually an incomplete key point intercepted, so it is easy for people to see a bit inexplicable. At this time, you must persevere. As long as you enter the main topic, the context of the story can slowly start to catch people, and The characteristics of group play can also be gradually reflected. This is not a legend about a lone hero, this is a social network for spies, and only by seeing each character and connecting events one by one, can you slowly build this network in your mind. The director is very good at this point. He has played the role of a manual well. Following this manual and reading it carefully, you will naturally be able to "figure out" the whole picture of the story by yourself, although the time point of tracing many incidents is completely disrupted. Yes, I must try my best to concentrate on pondering it, which is a bit troublesome, but the fun of finding a little tip and filling up the facts is also the biggest gain of this kind of spy war movie. Think about it, in fact, there are many places where the story echoes. I didn't dare to say it all after reading it twice, but there are indeed some places, foreshadowing must be carefully buried in order to discover.
Keeping the storytelling is the minimum for a good film. What really makes this film move towards a classic is his calm, restrained and arrogant temperament. In fact, in retrospect, although this story was told at a very high level, after all, there was nothing too profound, and it was just a cat-and-mouse game, but it seemed that he did have an essential feeling different from the traditional Hollywood spy blockbuster. First of all, its rhythm is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The characters appearing in the story are often slow and leisurely. The combat effectiveness of the agents is no longer brave, but they still feel a little old-fashioned. The energy, full of heaviness, gives a very real feeling. Real senior spies rely mainly on their minds, so they won't jump up and down to find documents. That's the work of the action team. The second is that there are living people with flesh and blood in the story. Even in the face of no matter how big things are, human feelings are still human feelings. Except for the faceless Soviet BOSS who is a superman, everyone in the other spy networks has a human touch, and they will Feeling owed, they want to repay, they are confused by love, and they know how to understand. Although the nature of their work is secretive, they are not lacking in human nature. This realistic expression makes the characters stand up at once. In the end, the performance is naturally full of British style. Every move and every move is an indescribable fit. The collective dispatch of the acting school really helps to build a reliable performance environment. After all, this is a group show.
Therefore, the good thing about this film is that he has steadily taken into account the commerciality and artistry. It is both good-looking and not popcorn. Although the main tone is wits, but also interspersed with several exciting "action segments", these real actions The scene may not be a fight, such as the scene of stealing files, but the tension level is not leaked at all because the director has arranged it well. What's more, his good looks are more reflected in surprises, no wonder, it turns out that when you look at it later, you will find that many traces left before are meaningful, and these meanings make up the brain of this spy network. important. So even if you don't want to, you can understand the story, but if you think about it, you will get the fun of Bonus, which is probably called, easy to learn, difficult to master.
In short, it is a good film, and he perfectly adopts the form of a unit drama. The sequel shows that there is no pressure, and it can also borrow the relationship of the previous characters. It is very malleable, and it is indeed a masterpiece with great prospects. The image of the protagonist is also obvious enough, and I look forward to becoming a classic like Bourne. After all, he is more calm, more realistic, and more fanciful. Coupled with a cold war environment that is very suitable for spies, it is really promising. I look forward to the front of Grandpa Glasses and Soviet Superman. Duel, find the original work when you have time, the book must be refreshing.

    temperament! The key is temperament! British temperament is too charming, Cambridge Circus is too mysterious! Putting aside the suspense and tension like a throat, the calm and feeling of the movie is very beautiful. In particular, a bunch of moldy and old British male actors joined the group, all dressed in old fashioned clothes and tasted Chen Yun. Oldman pierced the needle, Colin Firth was arrogant and chic, Hardy was blond and melancholy, and BC also played gay. They were really bright spots, and the actor alone added one star.

    The music, setting, atmosphere and Gary Oldman's acting skills are almost impeccable. But before the end, I have been waiting for the moment when the latent text that I waited like before the conversation is over gradually accumulates and finally breaks out and blooms independently of the surface narrative. The result was no. Instead, it was superfluous in the last ten seconds. Regret.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quotes

  • Oliver Lacon: The treasurer can't understand why can't the intelligence service simply put in a request for a general increase in funding and then you'll account for the spend on your special operation?

    Percy Alleline: Operation 'Witchcraft' needs to remain a secret; it's a fiefdom of its own.

    Oliver Lacon: Yes, that's what's winding us; whole thing's very unaccountable isn't it? This London house that no one knows the address of, is that really necessary?

    Percy Alleline: Now more than ever, we need to protect our Soviet source.

    Roy Bland: [lights a cigarette] So where do you propose we meet, in a café?

    Oliver Lacon: The rent and rates on this house have... doubled.

    Roy Bland: We spent millions on nuclear warheads, we're asking for a few thousand for a house. I wonder if Karla has the same problem with the treasury at the Kremlin.

    Oliver Lacon: Look, nobody underestimates the importance of the jobs you chaps are doing.What happened in Budapest last year... That was a disaster.

    Roy Bland: With respect, sir, that wasn't one of your civil servants that got killed, was it? Now this isn't about soldiers in trenches anymore. We're the front line now...

    Oliver Lacon: Roy...

    Roy Bland: For 25 years we've been the only ones standing between them and Karla and Moscow and the Third bloody World War!

    Oliver Lacon: Look, the minister is very pleased with your progress so far. He's less pleased though, with our progress with our American cousins. You see, in their eyes... You're still a leaky ship.

  • Control: Trust no one, Jim. Especially not in the mainstream. Sit down. I understand you still have one Hungarian identity running.

    Jim Prideaux: I do.

    Control: I want you to go to Budapest. This is not above board. Nobody else knows. They're after my head, Jim-boy. You understand? I have had an offer of service. A Hungarian general wants to come over. I would like you to meet him. He has some information that I need, Jim.
