January 7th, 2019 Cinematography: Truths and lies A feast of strength and beauty A girl with a bad history, I can only go and look for clues after watching it as a story for the first time The background is set in 1989 - the situation in Germany has changed abruptly. Sometimes there are too many external things set in a film. I hope that each film can learn a little something and deceive the director's wisdom a little bit. Was the Berlin Wall the fuse? Maybe it is. The bigger fuse is the country and its own interests. After World War II, Germany was defeated and was slaughtered by others. It was divided into two parts by the victorious countries. Soviet Union), the capital Berlin was also divided into two parts. The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union directly affected West Germany and East Germany. At that time, many people wanted to flee from the East (Soviet) to the (West), so East Germany built the Berlin Wall. Kill whoever, this has been going on for almost 30 years. (I understand a little bit of historical knowledge) And this film happened on the eve of the Berlin Wall being torn down. One can imagine how turbulent the situation was at that time. And British, American, Soviet, French, and German intelligence agencies were nervous. They understand that once the Berlin Wall comes down, a lot of leaked information will expose their despicable behavior in the "Cold War", so these intelligence officers are busy whitewashing themselves, going to betray their teammates, the alliance, and do whatever it takes. The heroine Theron, is a "simple" intelligence officer, she did not defect, she is a spy, she is working for the CIA, in fact, Theron is a double agent Saatchi The relationship with the French woman is true, love her The man is also real, so when she saw that photo, the photo of David and Bremovich, she knew that her identity had been betrayed, she knew that the Soviet side already knew that she was from the CIA, and David just wanted to borrow it. Soviet hands killed her. In our line of work that's right up there with black holes or "To be or not to be " Everything that has been revealed is nothing but a product of the times.
