Let's start with the character setting first:
LEO plays a CIA with excellent IQ, rich struggle experience and humble man. It was his character that insisted too much on his own moral and emotional principles, which determined the direction of the whole film. His compassion for his surrendered enemies, love for his partners and informants, respect and honesty to his peers, and psychological rebellion and obedience to his superiors determine that he has good personal relationships and can never become a high-level CIA agent. And in order to maintain the love produced in the work, it made him fall into the abyss of eternal disaster. He is the embodiment of all positive forces in American society such as justice, love, and wisdom. Some children's shoes have considerable objections to the screenwriter's arrangement. For example, the CIA cannot fall in love during working hours (especially during the life and death missions). The CIA has made many low-level mistakes in its work, ETC. I would like to say that he is not an "original" CIA, and it is inevitable that he will be emotional at work, and only in this way can he reveal the positive energy in him. If he can value his partner so much, he will inevitably value his lover even more. It is precisely this point that is used by the enemy to let him enter the trap.
RC plays a CIA executive who is also a representative of the US government. I commit individualism, empiricism, and extremism at work, arbitrarily acting on my own, taking care of my own (broadly referring to the United States on international issues, only American citizens on humanitarian issues, and myself in the internal affairs of the CIA) interests, completely disregarding others ( Refers generally. Same as above) Life and death, ETC. In short, more represent negative forces.
HANI is the head of intelligence in Jordan. His intelligence is comparable to that of LEO, but the city is very different. . .
Then there is the radical organization, which acts cautiously and has a strict system. Its bosses are equally talented, and they will not fall behind in a head-on confrontation with LEO.
The other roles will not be discussed one by one.
The US government has absolute power, which is also the main factor that causes them to underestimate their opponents and become arrogant. The militant group hides in the dark and sits on the right time and place. The local intelligence department is capable and fierce. The struggle between them has been around for a long time, as long as a chicken lays eggs, and it has been unclear which is right and wrong. However, due to the different interests of the parties, it has led to an increasingly intensified struggle.
At the beginning of the film, when RC, as a decision-making consultant, said these high-sounding words, I wonder if he can tell what is the truth and what is a lie. The title body of lies, who is this body? I think the answer to the question is not who, but what.
What is it that RC keeps repeating? No one is innocent in this war. This is the key to the whole movie. Why is no one innocent? Because they all live in a huge lie made by themselves, and they want to continue to weave it, and LEO, even if he is righteous, even if he is smart, even if he has strong principles, as long as he is in the circle, he can’t Spared.
So, the whole thing is made up of lies. LEO may have seen it through at the beginning, but had illusions and tried to become an American hero. In short, he was finally discouraged. Out was the only way he chose and was chosen.
