Defeat

For 116 minutes, the song paused, and Smalley walked into the anechoic room and sat on the top position of the boss; applause sounded, subtitles, and the movie ended.

Applause, "Smiley's Perfect Revenge." Not good enough for Le Carré.

The actor Smiley is elegant and personable, and can almost act as a minister. In the original book, Smiley, fat, or short, likes to study medieval German literature, and looks alive and well as an old-fashioned German teacher. There is no interest, and it is this way that will be abandoned by An En.

The big politician Alleran became a little dwarf, with a fierce face and a stubborn speech, completely unable to see the communicative ability with ease.

Toby, the little man who lit the street light group, became a big man. The beautiful silver hair became black, and he was younger than Smalley. I remember that Smiley worked with Toby for the first time in Switzerland.

Haydn was just right, ignoring the rules of the round field for the first time, pushing a bicycle to handle the girl, but it was a magical touch that was not in the original book.

The most miserable thing is the poor volume of fortune, completely lacking the romantic taste of Gillem in the book, and the flute lover Camilla was secretly replaced by a bald uncle. What is this called? Is it true that the Cambridge Five are gay, and Gillem must be gay too?

Rikitar is remarkable, and Irina has also chosen well, and she can see cleverness in her eyes.

Lacan was barely able to make it through, and the minister was like a naive boy in the confrontation with Smiley. By the way, when Smiley was in the showdown with Toby in the original book, Toby was eager to stand on the side of the winner, rather than in a panic, for fear of being sent back to Central Europe by plane.

Jim is far from satisfactory, and Kong Wu's powerful thug in the original book. However, in the movie, he should never do anything, and he should never knock over his chair when he gets up and escapes. This is something that an experienced agent would not do. This is another plot turning point planted by the screenwriter in order to save time and make a decisive decision.

The place where Haydn was imprisoned is even more peculiar. The kindergarten in the original book is just a joking term. It is a metaphor for the school for training spies. It should be a military barracks in World War II. I remember in the original book that high-voltage line towers were built on the cricket ground, which either supplied high power consumption or supplied barbed wire. It’s a good thing in the movie. In the background, you can see six or seven running teenagers, as well as office workers with briefcases.

All of the above are minor faults, and the biggest fault is the death of Irina. In the movie, Jim was arrested on October 21. Toby gave Jim a thousand pounds severance payment. Two months later, it can be seen that Jim has been exchanged back to China and the kindergarten internal interrogation has been completed. .

And Irina died at the scene where Carla interrogated Jim, that is, during those two months. The original book was about waiting for the boss to step down and die of illness; Smiley went out, Alleyn and Haydn took power. After several months, even six months later, it was Rikital's turn to scalp, and then a few months later. Lacan approached Smiley.

Based on the plot in the movie, Tal succeeded in burning Irina, and when he reported victory to Yuanchang, Yuanchang was in charge of the Big Four, otherwise there would be no Yuanchang telegram that delayed the time.

So the sequence of events was: the boss sent Jim to the Czech Republic and was arrested, and the boss immediately stepped down; Tal burned Irina, and the wind broke out, Tal began to flee, Irina was arrested, and was killed during interrogation. Jim returned to China, accepted internal interrogation, collected money and was dismissed, which lasted two months. Tarr makes contact with Lacan and Smalley enters the field.

This time continuation is extremely reluctant. It turned out to confess Irina's death, but as a result, time flies as fast as a bullet, achieving Smalley's quick and perfect revenge. This is still a heroic character.

Looking at the comments, I really want to cry, not for the old drama bones, but for the movie. This is still a Bond-style spy war film, but a literary fight rather than a military fight. Everything is easy, the protagonist is confident in his chest, is not surprised or busy, has a quick fight, and solved a big case. The applause and throne at the end of the film are proof.

And Smiley of Le Carré is an anti-hero. Lost his ideals and beliefs, a wife often goes out of the wall, a green hat man who is wimpy.

Uncovering Haydn made him even more painful. It's not the person who is full of will, smiles opposite to the volume, and holds the power. Feel sorry.

  • [Alleline's telex arrives from London]

    Ricki Tarr: Read it aloud.

    Ben: "Personal for Tarr from Alleline: require clarification before meeting your request. Quote, 'information vital to safeguarding of the Circus', unquote, does not qualify, send further information."

    Ricki Tarr: [laughing maniacally] That's the way, Percy boy! You keep stalling. I warn you, Ben, we've got some really lousy people in this outfit, I wouldn't trust a fucking one of them!

  • Percy Alleline: The Minister agrees with me that too many secrets are blowin' around here. Too much failure, too many scandals, too little solid intelligence.

    Control: [scoffs] Your bloody Yanks!
