The fictional spy + love story is placed in a completely restored real historical structure, without the slightest change or destruction of the original historical appearance, showing great respect for history, which is very worth learning from Chinese editors and directors.
William II's personality is relatively full, and the performance of the old drama bone Plummer is as high as ever. William II collected a large number of old uniforms and military uniforms, which were often changed. He refused Churchill's invitation to flee to England. At first, he had hope for the Nazis. The film's description of the Kaiser is completely historical.
Lily James' female spy also performed well, and she was caught off guard. She was both pleasantly surprised and shocked. She devoted herself to the mission, and even later fell in love. The development of the emotional line was tepid, and the description of the mission line was slightly thin. Until the assassination was unsuccessful, the film was full of very high quality. Unfortunately, in order to deliberately express the captain's "exceptional" formalization, the escape of the female spy at the end was too hasty. And the handling of everyone's happy ending is also an overly popular approach to please the audience.
It is especially worth mentioning that Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Nazi SS played by Eddie Mason, is gloomy, cunning, terrifying, and invincible... It really feels like a play to the bones.
The exception refers to the male protagonist of the film - the captain of the guard who was assigned by the Nazis to Wilhelm II to monitor his movements and later became close friends with the Kaiser, who sympathized with the Jews, and who was full of humanity and fell in love with the Jewish female spy without hesitation. Officer, Captain.
