The dull rhythm does lose a lot of points, but the combination of the chilling atmosphere of the Cold War and the low-key coldness of the intelligence world is very good. An undercover turmoil in a round field, in addition to undercover suspicions, there are also internal rights struggles. The film presents a cold style as a whole. Unlike the popularity and exaggeration of field agents, this film is dedicated to restoring the true appearance of the underground struggles of intelligence workers, such as intelligence transmission and anti-theft.
It can make a character that can be completely expressible not appear or show up, and it can become a standard for creators to reach level four or more. In this film, Smiley's wife did not show her face as an example. If the location of the meeting with the Soviet agent is known to many people, in such a critical situation, it would be easy for the tailor to meet him alone again. At the end of the film, the tailor’s homosexual man beat him to death again, which was purely a failure to create a climax. In fact, many spies were treated well after returning to the Soviet Union, not to mention the fact that the Soviet agents in the film also clearly stated this after they were exposed. If Jim knew that the tailor was a spy, as Smiley said, he would not go to Hungary to find his own way.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quotes

  • [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.

    Roy Bland: Percy does have a point, Control. We should be fighting communism, not each other.

    Percy Alleline: Well, we're losing our reputation. Our partners.

    Control: [scoffs] Your bloody Yanks!

    Percy Alleline: And we've had enough! There's going to be changes.

    Easterhase: We need to decide if we want to be part of the past or part of the future.

    Control: I should have left you where I found you.

    Easterhase: Look!

    Roy Bland: Control-...

    Control: Out! All of you!
