This video combines the comments of other netizens to analyze and refute some popular comments.
Especially the most popular film reviews, do not deny that some are right, but not all.
The story revolves around spies in East and West Germany during the Cold War.
First briefly introduce the background:
During and even after the Second World War, the Soviet Union and the United States, in order to contain each other and the ambition to rule the world, both countries rob German scientists in a big way. Representatives of the United States include Eins, Werner von Braun, Werner Heisenberg, Otto Hahn, etc.; the Soviet Union has Lille, Sergey Pavlovich-Korolev, etc.
America:
One very shrewd thing the United States did during World War II was to vigorously "rob" scientists. After World War II, the United States quickly grew into a superpower, which has a lot to do with his strategy in the war. Due to its superior geographical conditions, the United States has hardly suffered from war, and at the same time it relies on its strong industrial capabilities to make a fortune in war. Another very important point is that the United States has foresight to hunt scientists and all kinds of technicians from Germany, Italy and other countries. This has provided huge support for the development of science and technology in other countries. The talent plan approved by Roosevelt has also been rejected. Known as one of the most far-sighted plans. At that time, the United States set up a secret squad-the "Alsos" commando. Their main task was to snatch a large number of scientists and engineers from Germany and Italy and bring them back to the United States safely. In order to cover the actions of this squad, the U.S. military used a paratrooper division, two armored divisions, and the strength of the entire 6th Army to form a highly effective combat unit to protect the safety of this squad. After that, the US Army's "Operation Altos" commando team was responsible for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons; the "V-2 Special Operations" commando team was responsible for the rocket field. The U.S. Army Air Force established the "Operation Desire" commando, which is responsible for aviation equipment, aviation medicine, radar, and communication systems. The U.S. Naval Intelligence Agency established the "Navy Technology Operations" commando team, which is responsible for the field of ships and anti-ship missiles. The Americans are lucky. In late March 1945, the US Army's 3rd Armored Division captured Cologne. Intelligence personnel found a large number of German scientists and technology research and development institutions in the toilet sewer of the University of Bonn, including a list of 1,500 scientists. Until the United States on July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb was successfully tested in the United States.
Soviet Union:
It can be said that the Soviet Union was much slower than the United States in robbing scientists, and it was basically a surplus. However, the Soviet Union obtained large quantities of materials and raw materials, while the United States obtained a large number of talents. In November 1944, the National Security People's Committee submitted a report to Stalin, proposing that while defeating Germany, it should seize nuclear weapons research facilities, seize technical data and nuclear materials, and capture nuclear physicists in order to promote the development of Soviet nuclear weapons. The fight for nuclear physicists has always been the top priority of the Soviet Union. Second, unlike the separate operations of the various US services, the Soviet Union’s looting of scientists in various fields is all in charge of a joint operation team composed of the Intelligence Bureau of the Soviet General Staff and the Soviet People’s Committee of the Interior. However, at the end of World War II, the Nazis continued to move research institutions and scientists in eastern Germany to the west. Although the Soviet Union also operated very efficiently, it controlled fewer scientists than the United States. When the European war ended in May 1945, only about 39 German scientists worked for the Soviet Union. By June 1948, this number had increased to about 2,000, including 338 scientists in the nuclear field. The first group of German scientists and their families arrived in the Soviet Union. In August, Stalin ordered the allocation of 19 million rubles for the construction of office and research buildings for scientists, as well as residences. An additional 40 million rubles was later added. In December 1945, the People's Committee of the Interior established the 9th Bureau, which was responsible for German scientists working in the Soviet Union. A German nuclear physicist named Lille has made outstanding contributions to the development of Soviet nuclear weapons and has been awarded many times. In 1947, due to important achievements in uranium enrichment, Lille was awarded 350,000 rubles and a car; in 1949, the Soviet Union’s first atomic bomb was successfully detonated, and Lille was awarded the title of "Soviet Socialist Labor Hero" and The first-class Stalin Medal, and at the same time received the privileges of being able to choose a house in any city in the Soviet Union, children can enter any school in the Soviet Union, and travel completely free of charge. The Soviet Union’s "grabbing" of talents slowed down the United States, and it was able to achieve such a good result because they released a prisoner from the prison. His name is Sergey Pavlovich Korolev. Korolev was a well-known hero in the Soviet Union. He is regarded as the father of practical aerospace of the Soviet Union and one of the pioneers of human aerospace in the 20th century.
In order to "make the best use of people", the United States and the Soviet Union made their own moves. So Germany was divided into two parts: East Germany and West Germany. East Germany was dominated by the Soviet Union , and West Germany was dominated by the United States, Britain and France , including those controlled by Japan during World War II . As a defeated country , North Korea was divided into two by the United States and the Soviet Union from the 38th parallel. North Korea was controlled and supported by the Soviet Union, and South Korea was controlled and supported by the United States . In fact, the United States and the Soviet Union are competing against each other. Everyone wants to be the world's leader. Therefore, during the decades of the Cold War, they vigorously developed nuclear weapons and the space race. Everyone knows later that the Soviet Union was dragged down by the United States due to its own reasons and disintegrated into 15 countries, including the current Russia. Therefore, the background of the characters must be understood by everyone in order to better understand the content of the film.
Secondly, we must understand the operating modes and rules of spies in various countries during the Cold War:
The Berlin Wall built by the Soviet Union and East Germany in 1961: 70 miles of barbed wire, 310 guard towers, 65 anti-armor trenches, 40,000 well-trained and heavily armed Soviet border guards
When the Berlin Wall was established, East and West Germany could not cross the border directly. They could only enter through legal passports. Anyone who crossed the wall would be shot and killed. According to data, there were not a few people who died at the Berlin Wall at that time.
The establishment of the Berlin Wall represents the official start of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States
It was not until 1989 that the Berlin Wall was overthrown, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and the Cold War officially ended.
The spy agencies shortlisted for the film are:
1. CIA (United States Central Intelligence Agency), representative person: CIA bearded Emmet Kuzfield, black market owner of watch shop, and assistant behind the scenes.
2. KGB (former Soviet intelligence agency, commonly known as the KGB), representatives: KGB Director Bremovic, Bakhtin
3. M16 (British MI6), Representatives: Director C, Eric Gray (Superior Rowling), James (Agent who was killed at the beginning)
4. French intelligence agency, representative: Delfina La Sal (French chick)
5. Stasi (former East German Ministry of National Security), representative: small telescope
Next, I will introduce the two most important male and female protagonists in the film: very important. Failure to understand the background and status of these two characters will cause a lot of confusion for you to watch the film.
Actress: Charlize Theron, I absolutely love her, from the spokesperson of the devil, Snow White and the hunter, Prometheus, Mad Max, to this film, the extreme love, everyone calls her the glamorous queen.
It is love anyway, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
In this film, Rowling Broughton, played by Charlize Theron, is a triple spy (MI6, KGB, CIA). As for the CIA status, I went to David Percival (hereafter referred to as David) to get the watch at the beginning of the film. Before, no one had discovered that she was a triple spy. The controversial point was which of the triple identities was the original spy? ! Next, I will slowly analyze for everyone.
Actor: James McAvoy plays David Percival, he is handsome, I always feel that he is very similar to Daniel Wu, his temperament is too similar
Now I will focus on the setting of this character: many people do not understand the setting of this character, which will cause unnecessary confusion for the subsequent viewing and understanding.
First of all, we must be sure that he is an expatriate spy belonging to MI6.
During the Cold War, as an expatriate agent, David was assigned to a spy playground like Berlin by MI6 for a long time, and he did not have a big fish in his hand or he could not return to the country after a few years or more than a decade. Out of control, David fell or became an unscrupulous intelligence broker, collecting and selling intelligence everywhere.
And MI6 let him go online thinking that he is a golden goose that will lay eggs, but after so many years, MI6's loyalty to him is uncertain, so Rowling was sent to explore the wind and complete the most important tasks. He was not interested in the list at first, because even if he escorted the defector to flee, he still had to stay in Berlin, but when he found out that Sachu was Rowling on the list, he felt that the opportunity to return to China to ask for credit came, because Luo Lin is not only a double agent, but also a three-sided agent.
He was said to be an intelligence broker because Bremovic and Bakhtin treated him frankly and contemptuously. His identity has long been exposed, and he survived only because of his value in the intelligence circle. He liked Machiavelli’s books precisely. It shows that his aversion to division, distortion, and disorder, his life of drunkenness and death in order to blend into the environment is incompatible with his yearning, of course he has to flee.
Well, the background is introduced here. Next, I will introduce various character events in this film.
The core of the story is the activities surrounding the spy officers and transactions on the watch list. It was compiled by the small telescope of the Stasi (former East German Ministry of National Security) and recorded on the watch. For Stasi Britain and the United States are opposites, so this list is highly credible. For MI6, the CIA is especially important.
The first thing that caught the eye in the film was that MI6 agent James was hunted down for the list by KGB's top agent killer Bakhtin. In the dialogue, James revealed that he was betrayed by Saqiu; he did not know who Saqiu was.
At the back of the film, Rowling is actually Sarcho. When Rowling finished the mission and prepared to report to MI6 headquarters, Rowling burned the photo of her and James. She loves this man. When receiving the mission, it sounds like it. Saying that James was killed, she could see sadness as a sad expression in her eyes, maybe for a moment.
So in fact, I reasoned that he should be betrayed by David. Rowling could not betray him. If he was interested in the list at the beginning, he would not betray his MI6 colleague James. David collected the information and sold it to KGB. The boss Bremovic, the boss sent KGB's top killer Bakhtin to chase James and get the watch, this is one of the ways of saying
But Bakhtin chose to profit only and didn't hand it over to Bremovic, so Bremovic looked up Bakhtin everywhere and said that he was a capitalist and would sell the list. Note that the core of the Soviet Union was communism.
The second theory is that he was tracked down by Bakhtin, the number one killer of KGB, cut Hu, killed James and took his watch.
We then push down,
In David’s lens, he found the small telescope and asked the small telescope that it had been handed over to James the night before, but David said that he did not appear here. From this, it is inferred that the mission assigned to them by MI6 is, James got his watch and went to connect with David, but he was cut off.
Then the small telescope said that I wrote them all down, so David had another choice to complete the task assigned to him by MI6.
When Rowling started to perform the MI6 mission and just flew to West Germany, he originally met with the connector David, but the KGB boss sent someone to receive Rowling first. KGB who was driving in the car asked if you remember Bremovic Sir? This sentence proves that Rowling is a double agent (MI6 and KGB), as well as the conversation in the bar, it can be inferred that Rowling is a double identity.
Then Rowling found through the rearview mirror that David was following her, so she could only use the tactics and make a bitter trick to show David instantly. I had nothing to do with KGB. David who didn’t see the list at the time just knew that they were. It's just a colleague of MI6.
Later, David traced to KGB Bakhtin to go to the black market watch shop to sell the list
[Note here that the owner of this watch shop is a CIA spy. When Rowling came, he obtained the contact and work location of the CIA in West Germany through the owner of the watch shop. 】
Who knows that he was knocked out by David as soon as he came out. In fact, this is a bug. KGB's number one killer, the most powerful killer, how could he be knocked out in an instant? What? The Soviet Union's most powerful hitman is just like that, hahahaha
After David got the watch, it was fine if he handed it over to Rowling or handed it in After reading the list of watches, he knew from various signs that Rowling was Saqiu. He knew that he would have to die if handed it to Rowling. He knew Rowling’s identity. He had to hand it over to the boss in person or hand it back to the Queen. There is a chance to claim credit or live, but because the small telescope keeps the list in mind
He must be eliminated. The list in his hand is the only one, and it seems precious. So he set up traps everywhere to let the KGB people chase down the small telescope, and then use KGB's hand to clear Rowling, because Before he got the list, even if he escorted the defector to escape, he still had to stay in Berlin and still could not return to China. However, when he found that Saqiu was Rowling on the list, he felt that the opportunity to return to China to ask for credit came, because Luo Lin is not only a double agent, but also a three-sided agent. Many people will ask, why do you think that David already knows that Rowling is a three-faced spy? OK, let me tell everyone that David installed a bug in the jacket that Rowling took off for the first time when Rowling went to find him, and said Want to follow Rowling, she will never find out
Set up traps everywhere and kill Rowling with the help of KGB
The dialogue between David and Rowling before he died can see the character setting of David in front
Rowling is dead, he gives the list to the superior or the prime minister, then he may return to the country and receive an interview from the queen
David is a character, he said later, I love Berlin to death. I and some other netizens think that this is an irony. Before that he was an intelligence broker because Bremovic and Bakhtin had a straightforward and contemptuous attitude towards him. In fact, his identity has long been exposed, and he survived only because of his value in the intelligence community. His love for Machiavelli’s books just shows his aversion to division, distortion, and disorder. He was drunk in order to integrate into the environment. Life is incompatible with what he yearns for, so of course he has to flee. And what I saw was that he did not live like a hidden agent at all, so Rowling neither trusted nor respected him.
So he suspected Rowling a long time ago. When he saw the list of clocks, he was not sure enough, and then installed a wiretap, and heard him contact the owner of the watch shop to see Dazao (because the list mentioned that Dazao is the CIA) At the time, it was determined that he was Saqiu and had three identities.
When Rowling was finally resolved, Rowling had already decided to kill him and blamed David, telling everyone that David was Saqiu.
David's killing of his French intelligence girlfriend is the final point of explosion
In the process of returning to London and reporting to MI6 superiors and CIA superiors, I framed David and told the superior Eric Gray that she had killed Saqiu (because MI6 boss C gave her 2 A mission to find the list and Saqiu, because Saqiu is a double agent, destroy them from it)
Rowling kills two birds with one stone and kills many birds with one stone. Not only did she hide her identity, get the list, kill David, conceal the truth, she also wiped out the KGB boss, and she can also go to the Platinum Palace to have tea with the Queen, which is really high. The king of spies.
A double agent is not necessarily a spy who sells intelligence to both parties. For example, the famous Robert Hanson is an FBI agent recruited by the Soviet Union. He only sells American intelligence and is also a double agent. Rowling is this in the KGB concept. kind. A double-sided spy can transmit true information to two sides, but a three-sided spy is a taboo. The three-sided spy must be sending false information to a certain party, because the ultimate purpose of the three-sided spy layout is to make the enemy pay for the false information, so when the KGB discovers Luo When Lin was an American agent, there must be only one direction for her to export false information, and that was the Soviet Union. The false evidence that the little brother hid the gun in the ice bucket included the watchmaker sending Rowling onto the plane. In addition to increasing the drama tension, it also shows that their hidden line is at risk of exposure and has been recalled by the CIA. Take the watchmaker as an example. On the face of it, there are dealers in the black market of intelligence in Berlin. How can such a precious cover-identity leave after the Berlin Wall falls, let alone run from Berlin to Paris.
Finally, the Hongmen Banquet at the end of the film is also introduced. Director KGB said that David has already told him your true identity.
So let's reason about her identity, combined with the plot, at the end of the film, she and the CIA leader had a relaxed conversation that showed that the United States is her maiden family, and Rowling is a native CIA agent. Covering (the Soviet Union and the United States were rivals from World War II to the present), lowering the Soviet Union’s vigilance, and obtaining first-hand information from the United Kingdom while exporting false information. This is not only not illusory but very real. During the Cold War, the exchange of intelligence between the allies was limited. Cooperation, the United States wants to go further and can only exchange intelligence by providing high-tech equipment or asset backup (typically France), and then this is how to place its own people in allied intelligence agencies (typically Britain and West Germany). Regarding the exposure of Rowling’s identity, the most obvious point is that after Bremovic got the watch at the hotel and let the killer come in to deal with Rowling, he said clearly, "Percival told me your identity." Rowling’s He had known the identity of the double agent for a long time, so what else could David tell him? So there is only one possibility for American agents.
The first hot comment in the previous article said that Rowling was a KGB native spy, but here, I would like to say that it is impossible for a person with a native Soviet background to pass the background review of the Sixth Army, so Rowling cannot be an entry into the KGB training. The original spy of the Sixth Army, during the Cold War, not to mention the Soviet Union, even people with Eastern European background would never have climbed to this position in the Sixth Army Headquarters. At most it was a small role outside the station. Historically speaking, the KGB was lurking during the Cold War. Most moles in the West are recruited, and a small number of their own people have to be deployed from the end of World War II. They are generally over 40. They are in single-line contact with senior KGB officials. It is impossible for a reckless little East German boss to make contact. people.
Combined with the plot, at the end of the film, her relaxed conversation with the CIA leader showed that the United States is her maiden family, and at the end of the film they teased each other about their acting skills, in order to deceive MI6 director C and not make him suspicious.
At the end of the film, Rowling and the bearded Emmet Kuzfeld flew directly back to Langley (American CIA headquarters)
There are indications that Rowling is a thoroughly original CIA agent. In short, the United States shoots spy movies, the Soviet Union is all fools, the Soviet Union shoots spy movies, the United States is all fools, France shoots spy movies, the Soviet Union and the United States are all fools, haha.
After the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union was dragged down by the United States for its own reasons, and the United States planted its own agents all over the world. Since then, the United States has achieved global leadership in the fields of nuclear, biological, chemical weapons, rockets, aviation equipment, aviation medicine, radar, and communication systems, laying the foundation for its ambition to dominate the world.
When I first watched the movie, I thought KGB Bakhtin was a king, but I didn't expect it to be a bronze. I was knocked out by David in an instant. I thought he would fight to the death with Rowling. Either I live or you die, haha. Unexpectedly, Rowling is the king, and the three games are really enjoyable and beautiful.
In addition, the sex scene between her and the French spy chick is also a bright spot. I like her so much and it brings us too many bright spots.
Like it if you agree
