Quite satisfactory, only one character's surprise

When the final subtitles appeared, I realized that Spielberg is the one who still shoots the main theme movies so neatly and textbook-like. Can't fault it, but it's not interesting to watch now. The point is to show the big environment and the twists and turns of the espionage exchange. The story is very weak, almost imaginable content, and some interesting tricks are used to string each content together. The cast is eye-catching, but there are many gags, only Mark Rylance's arresting performance, although there are not many scenes, but it is definitely the most experienced, restrained, good-natured, and dedicated spy role.

Rudolf Abel: I'm not afraid to die, Mr. Donovan. Although, it wouldn't be my first choice.

Agent Williams: We are engaged in a war. This war does not for the moment involve men at arms; it involves information. You will be collecting information. You will be gathering intelligence about the enemy. The intelligence you gather could give us the upper hand in a full thermonuclear exchange with the Soviet Union, or it could prevent one. For public purposes, as far as your wife or mother or sweetheart or the good lord above, your mission does not exist. if it does not exist, you do not exist. You cannot be shot down. You cannot be captured.
