The screenwriter may not have considered too much of the character relationship background
that audiences who haven't seen the original work need to know, that is, the "basic" tone in the original work, hehe.
This is the only place I feel sorry for.
Structure, cinematography, editing, soundtrack are fine.
In order for it to be noticed earlier, I had to put the cast first (this impetuous era), I am sorry (stand hand). Colin Firth, who won the best actor Oscar for "The King's Speech"; Gary Oldman, Dracula in "Four Hundred Years of Love"; Benedict Comberbatch, our favorite Sherlock today; Ladies' protagonist, Tom Hardy; John Hurt, an old actor who has been in film since 1962... ...deserves a Best Ensemble Award.
The film has a unique temperament, calm and gloomy, with a slow, even and calm rhythm. So if you're in a moody mood or want to have some fun, don't pick this one. It requires your calm and patience. It does not come to appease or please your emotions.
Espionage, a rather marginal profession for ordinary people, what kind of pursuit and belief can a person with a passion for sticking to such a profession? Seemingly sophisticated and flexible, he never wavers, or is he a multi-faceted spy who looks firm and stubborn? Needless to say, during the Cold War, this was a pretty remarkable life choice at any time. There are too many personal factors in the overall situation that need to
be ignored or abandoned. Those feelings that support people to go on with flesh and blood are as hard to grasp as the sand in their hands; in this special professional environment, how fragile human nature is. What solid reason is there for them (especially those on the front lines) to take such a big risk to continue? There must be some touching answers that we don't know. The film does not seem to be greedy or sharply ambitious. The way he tells the story is like the neighborhood stories that the ordinary passers-by talk about in those reserved and cold streets, so close and so far.
Benedict's acting was a little preppy back then, and certainly had some great shots, but I don't know why his previous on-screen gigs have often been more or less sweet. In the play, it is a convincing decent, and his old fashion qualities praised by Moffat (Sherlock's screenwriter) sometimes come from the formal rigidity of his physical performance, which finally transforms into the British style in the eyes of the audience. , this performance language you can read "self-weight" and "convergence". Gary Oldman, it's really shocking, just for a few seconds when Peter (character name, played by BC) beats Tarr (character name, played by Th), he glances at them and winks at the other man, I have completely fallen. There are also two important characters, Kara and Ann, who have a lot of scenes but never show their faces from beginning to end. This treatment is very interesting. On the one hand, it creates a sense of mystery, and on the other hand, it helps the audience to reduce the homework of character identification. To be honest, I'm stupid, I think there are too many people's names, especially in conversations with surnames and first names, it's easy to struggle.
I really didn't understand much when I first saw this film a few years ago, technically speaking, the visual production is very atmospheric and charming. It is also very interesting to read the story again. It is a work that makes people chew. When you read it again and again in different states and moods, you will have different feelings. It has a magnetic field that once you start going in, you can't stop. It is certain that if you have read the original book, you will understand the relationship between the characters better and understand the plot better.
Anyway, I haven't read it.
