The subject matter of agents and spies has been very popular these years, but this film cannot be summarized in a strict sense. The "action" at the beginning is just an introduction. Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. The North Korean spies Song Zhiyuan and Song Kanghao played by Jiang Dongyuan The operations captain of the Korean Intelligence Agency, Li Renkui, is no longer "a staff member". To a certain extent, their situation is symmetrical, that is, they are all people who have been abandoned by the organization. Their respective goals and concerns, and they thought their identities were not exposed, they lived under one roof. The time they spent together forms the main body of the film.
Some viewers have accused the film's warmthism of being too evasive and light-hearted, easily jumping over the ideological barrier. The story to be told is the story of two humanitarians who sympathize with each other.
Song Zhiyuan (Jiang Dongyuan) is calm and careful, alert and agile, and has excellent professionalism, but at the same time he shows his "benevolence of women" at the beginning of the story. He loves children, sympathizes with women, and is brave in justice. His personality is restrained but his heart is warm. At the beginning of the film, he was selected by the old spy code-named "Shadow" to carry out the assassination mission together. When he witnessed the brutality and bloodshed of the Shadow's murder, he showed suspicion and fear. The position of defending the weak in the bones is questioning and resisting, but politics has always been another way of logic. In the "shadow" view, it is not a pity for the Beitou to die. If he no longer loyal to the party, he has no value of survival. In order to completely , his family can't let it go, so killing them is only natural. Under this logic, man is not a man, because he is only a loyalist of a certain ideology. Once he chooses to betray, he has no right to become a son, a father, a husband, and no right to live. In other words, he does not choose his own life at all. freedom of. At the moment of the gunshot, Zhiyuan almost subconsciously rushed over and held the petrified child in his arms. The slaughter of women and children had surpassed his bottom line as an individual. At this moment, he was destined not to be a qualified loyalist. .
Jiang Dongyuan's handsome and scholarly appearance, the melancholy, slender, and extremely forbearing expression between his eyebrows is very close to this character. Standing on the busy street in a foreign land, he has the look of an orphan. He was abandoned by the party, but he still refused to admit it to himself. In the Internet cafe, he sent one email after another to the organization. And the fearful eyes make people look sad.
Jiang Dongyuan once said in the conversation that the role of Song Zhiyuan did not seem to be difficult to play, and the filming was successfully completed after accepting the guidance of the director and seniors. Under Song Zhiyuan's calm exterior, there is a hidden inner worry, which is his deep-rooted yearning for his family, the fear of his safety, and the pain and confusion about his career and beliefs. He has a very heavy heart. But he has to keep his mouth shut, and his inner torment is always on the edge of the limit, which makes his expression and temperament have a subtle grasp between perseverance and vulnerability. Jiang Dongyuan has performed well.
Another leading actor, Song Kanghao, if talking about his appearance, is really... In his own words, he is "too illegal", but he is an excellent example of showing charm because of his strength. In the film, he plays the role of An intelligence officer who looks a bit slick but has a sense of mission in his bones, a bit arrogant, smart but easy to fall off the chain at critical moments, but no matter how he looks at it, he is not a secret agent because he is too uncle next door, very kind and very kind. Funny, just like Zhiyuan, he is full of tenderness and humanity towards his family. Originally Zhiyuan was his bait, but after getting along, he couldn't help but treat this young guy as his younger brother, even though he always loved him. He was full of complaints and scolding, but he was actually a kind and gentle person, especially after learning about the situation of Zhiyuan's family, he was completely soft-hearted. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, they drank each other like brothers, and each had his own concerns. But at that moment, they reached a mutual understanding in a wordless tacit understanding. He said, "Call me brother", Zhiyuan didn't call, but on this day, they slept on the floor, Zhiyuan. His legs were resting on his belly, the shot was warm, and it was their first night to let their guard down and go to sleep. On the second day, Li Renkui asked Zhiyuan to worship his parents. Zhiyuan burst into tears in front of his mother's tablet. All the suppressed emotions were in the tears at the moment.
I liked the part where the two of them went out together to find the Vietnamese, the beautiful scenery, the rhythm slowed down, all kinds of humorous clips, there was always a moment when the two of them seemed to be lost in the field scenery under the sunset, forgetting For its original heavy purpose, this is indeed a romantic passage.
