"reveals brilliance in realism and shines in ordinary."
"Bridge of Spies" is a historical biopic directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. The film is adapted from the real story of American lawyer James Donovan, telling the story of the US-Soviet hostage exchange event planned by James Donovan's lawyer during the Cold War, which was involved in the center of the Cold War storm.
Although the title of the film is full of suspenseful atmosphere, "Bridge of Spies" actually refers to the Glynick Bridge in East Germany during the Cold War, and some scenes in the film were shot live on the Glynick Bridge.
The word "horror" appeared in the introduction of the film type in some places, which may be due to the serious Cold War background of this film. As a historical biopic, "Bridge of Spies" and "The Imitation Game" a year apart are of the same type. Compared with "The Imitation Game", which exaggerates emotions, this film is more realistic, yet great. .
Put aside the more serious and obscure words such as "spy, cold war, history", etc., do not even look at the title, story, genre, and the famous screenwriter of the Coen Brothers. Personally, the biggest attraction of this film is Spielberg and Hanks' fourth collaborative film after "Saving Private Ryan", "How to Get Away" and "Happy Terminal". The reunion of the legendary director and the gold medal actor, needless to say, explains everything.
Lawyer Donovan, played by the two-time Oscar winner, fully demonstrated his stubborn character in the first half of the film. He was proud of Hanks' honest and honest face. shaft" to describe the stubborn lawyer. The image of lawyer Donovan in the film is not tall, even a little stupid. He first stood on the opposite side of the people of his own country, and he was not understood by the family, and even affected the safety of his family because of his own reasons.
However, as an individual in a special historical background, the stubbornness of lawyer Donovan, on the contrary, sets off the excessive nationalism and dogmatism of other Americans and even the only independent intelligence agency in the United States. Some viewers are overly focused on the second half of the film when the Soviet spy gets the hug of his countryman or gets into the back seat of the car, instead ignoring the reasons for the single-celledness shown by Americans during the Cold War. Compared with the CIA, which had no humanistic concern, the captured spies of the Soviet Union showed extremely noble personalities and qualities, even in the face of a pretentious motherland.
Success is national, failure is personal. Attorney Donovan mediates between U.S. intelligence, the Soviet embassy, and the GDR, risking his life in sensitive areas in a special historical context. At the most critical moment, lawyer Donovan still maintains a noble personal character, exudes an indelible radiance of humanity, and even has the support of the people of opposing countries.
Aside from the halo of a bigger actor and director, the reason why "Bridge of Spies" is brilliant in realism and brilliance in the ordinary is that the film tells a story about human nature.
The different glances from the same passenger twice reflected the hardships and greatness of Donovan's lawyers from the side.
Compared with the legendary characters and stories, the sometimes agile, sometimes serious, and sometimes touching background music in the film is easily overlooked.
Just like the extraordinary people in the ordinary world.
