Thanks to netizens for pointing out the error. Both the street agent and the male lead are MI6, which has nothing to do with the CIA. It is purely a clerical error. By the way, a few clerical errors have been corrected, hehe.
—————————————————————
I found that none of the film reviews clarified the character's motives, so leave it to me!
First introduce some background of the story, it is very helpful to understand the motivation of the characters. (The information is temporary Baidu, only to ensure that the general direction is correct, I am a historical idiot)
Keywords: Berlin Wall.
At the end of World War II, Germany was defeated and was slaughtered. It was divided into two parts by the victorious countries. On the left was West Germany (to the United States), and on the right was East Germany (to the Soviet Union). The capital Berlin was also divided into two parts. It's the same as all two egg yolk mooncakes, miserable!
The wrestling between the two great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union directly affected West Germany and East Germany. At that time, many people wanted to flee from East (Su) to West (U.S.), so East Germany built the Berlin Wall. Whoever dared to overturn the wall would be killed. (Tucao 100 words are omitted here), this situation lasted for almost 30 years.
The film took place on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Next, introduce the identity and faction of the characters in the order of appearance. Names are too troublesome to say, so I'm lazy to refer to them by code names: American spies are called CIA, British spies are called MI6, and Soviet spies are called KGB.
True Love: The MI6 agent who rushed to the street at the beginning, had a list hidden in his watch, knew that the hostess/girlfriend was a double agent, but did not expose her, and proposed to run away. What is this not true love? ! The heroine did not frame James, because leaking the list to the Soviets would also reveal her identity as a double agent. The heroine did not know that James owns the list. James was killed because the spyglass revealed the identity of the traitor, and the Soviet KGB tracked the list to James. The story is a flashback. At the beginning, the heroine burned the photos. After completing the mission and returning to the UK, James's body was also transported back to the country. At this time, the photos were burned.
Money faction: Bakhtin-a dishonest KGB killer. After killing the agent and getting the list, he changed his job and became an information scalper in an attempt to make a fortune on the black market.
The watch shop that appeared later was a storefront on the black market. If you need any gossip, or want to spread news, you will go there. The hostess went to ask for the address of the contact person, and Bakhtin went to spread the news about the list looking for a buyer.
Some netizens pointed out that the owner of the watch shop is also the CIA, and finally sent the hostess on the plane. I saw that it was indeed the case. Thank you for pointing it out. However, I still tend to believe that the cover of the watch store is a black market storefront. After all, it is impossible for the United States to open an office here.
American faction: the heroine, who holds three positions, the most authentic identity is the American CIA, most of the time is the double agent Saatchi (double agent: from the beginning to the end refers to the British/Soviet double agent, there is no list It is said that the heroine is the CIA, and the identity of the CIA has been hidden until the end of the play). Anyone who has been in contact with the list knows that she is a double agent, but for their own benefit they have not broken her. Her inner drama is the simplest, that is, she loves the United States~ She also loves her boyfriend and girlfriend very much.
British faction: The big boss of British MI6, there is nothing to introduce. By the way, Britain and the United States are better. So MI6 and CIA will cooperate.
British faction: British MI6 incompetent little boss who was complained by the heroine, her superior.
American Pie: The real boss of the heroine, the American CIA bearded
Self-reliance as the king: male protagonist, MI6's most capable agent based in West Berlin, seems to be a fool, but in fact there is a big drama in his heart.
I have never understood what his heroine picture is. He didn't reveal the identity of the heroine to the UK, nor did he give the list to the Soviets, nor did he sell it on the black market. Instead, he put it on his own hand and didn't give it to anyone. !
In fact, the foreshadowing of the film was laid at the beginning:
Machiavelli was a representative of Italy's emerging bourgeoisie in the late Middle Ages. He advocated ending Italy's political division and establishing a powerful centralized state.
Does it sound similar to the situation in Germany at the time? In addition to his confession before his death, "I love Berlin!" It can be inferred that he wanted to selectively send intelligence to the United States and the Soviet Union to keep the deadlock between East and West Germany. The master behind the line puppets has become an invisible king in Berlin.
The hostess noticed his tendency from the beginning, and I speculated that what the French chick said in the ear of the hostess was "he sells information to the Soviets." So after the heroine kills the hero, you don't need to think about knowing that the list is still in his watch.
What a strange man. . .
Escape from the East German faction: small telescope. The officials of the East German Intelligence Service, unable to bear the control of the Soviets, wanted to defect. For this reason, they provided a list to the British MI6 in exchange for immunity, and handed them to the street agents. To be on the safe side, he memorized the list so that he could have some chips.
He has always known that the heroine is a double agent, and the seemingly grieving conversation with the heroine before changing to escape is actually confirming whether the heroine will kill him or not.
Telescope "Did he tell you that I have memorized the list" (I know you are a double agent)
The hostess "yes" (what do you want?)
Telescope "I know that I am not important to some people. Some people even want to kill me, but I have no choice."
The hostess "You are not good for me at all when you die, I have never missed" (I will send you away, don't reveal my identity)
The fight before his death was truly incredible!
Soviet faction: The bearded chairman of KGB, who always thought that the heroine was a spy sent to Britain by himself, was actually counter-spy and was eventually slaughtered.
In this way, two plots can also make sense.
1. The hostess just came to Berlin, and the two KGBs greeted her warmly. As a result, the male protagonist's Porsche appeared in the rearview mirror, and the female protagonist could only pretend "I am not familiar with you, you two Soviets", and kill two Soviet friends so as to maintain her MI6 identity.
2. In the tavern, the chairman went out to find the heroine in person, and wanted to get the information she had. The dialogue was very interesting:
Chairman (German) "Good evening, ma'am" (I guess it is deliberately ridiculing the heroine who is not good in German)
The hostess "I don't speak German tonight" (I am now in MI6 status, don't mess with it)
Chairman "You are British" (have you been with the British?)
The hostess (probably speaking Swedish) "Do you want me to be Swedish?" (Sweden is a neutral country, teasing the chairman)
The chairman is "impressed, this is by no means your only talent" (don’t forget that you are my Soviet spy)
The heroine "talent will be overestimated" (no information for you)
The chairman's face changed, and he asked clearly if the hostess came to find the list, and the hostess admitted. At this time the French chick appeared.
To add another plot, about the final killing of the Soviet Beard: The Soviet Beard chairman learned that the heroine was a double agent, and became angry. He invited the heroine to a Hongmen banquet. If Big Beard does not actively invite her, she will also say that she has a list and see Big Beard kill him. In short, the beard is destined to be slaughtered. Why are you destined to be slaughtered? Because the heroine is American, and the Soviet Union is opposed to the United States, so she wants to kill, and because Beard knows that she has been a double agent, so she wants to kill.
The omnipotent brother who helped put the pistol into the ice cube is the CIA, and this scene is also explained by the way.
True love: French intelligence agent chick, fell in love with the heroine, betrayed the hero, and was strangled to death by the hero.
The rookie spy sent by France to Berlin had no big abilities. He took refuge in the prosperous male protagonist. At the same time, he secretly followed the male protagonist. He discovered his deal with the bearded chairman of the Soviet Union and revealed it to the female protagonist.
Regarding the newspaper that CIA Beard gave to the hostess, the phone number starts with 212, which is the Moroccan telephone area code. Morocco was controlled by France at the time. Therefore, the CIA Beard thought that the hostess was betrayed by a French chick, but it was actually a ghost of the male host. , The male protagonist will not tell the true identity of the French female protagonist. The hostess really likes her.
Thanks for the sex scene she brought, it looks good.
Finally finished, you can comment if you have any questions.
The fighting scenes, art, costumes, and music of this film are all in line with my tastes. In short, it is all beautiful and highly recommended.
Good night, Guli Guli, love you~
