After watching the film "Berlin Spy" twice, I still feel like I can watch it for a third time, but it must be the first time I watched it (I didn't read the original and didn't know the ending), and I felt the most nervous, depressed and worried to the point of suffocating . Especially when Burton took Bloom through the barbed wire in the dark, ready to climb the Berlin Wall. I always have an ominous premonition.
Because of this chilling and gloomy atmosphere, I don't believe that they really escaped back to the West smoothly. Something must have happened. What's more, the way he drove the heroine to escape was too smooth and unbelievable. At first glance, Mutter was a scheming and cruel person. How could he let him go with the heroine who already knew the situation in the east?
I always thought it was a trap, so when the heroine wore high heels to climb the Berlin Wall I thought she couldn't get past it, and sure enough...
After she was shot and slipped, her whole body was hanging in the air, and when a pair of pale and slender wrists were tightly grasped by the male protagonist's big hands, my heart was aching. I wondered if the male protagonist would lose his balance by not letting go. When her weight fell to this side, the male protagonist finally couldn't hold her, let go, and watched her fall to the ground.
He was stunned and couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could still feel the despair as thick as night from his figure. What tragedy could be more embarrassing than falling before the dawn?
At this time, on the west side of the wall, Smiley from the British side finally picked him up here, and kept calling him and urging him to come down.
A high wall, one side is life, the other side is death, he is riding on the wall, where should he go? There are only a few seconds for him to hesitate and choose, and the time left for him is too short.
I couldn't help thinking at that moment, let's give up your love, go back to the free world in the west, take your meager pension, and slowly die in a roadside tavern when you get old, which is better than dying now. This terrible Berlin Wall is strong. After all, it is better to die than live.
However, this is still delusional. When his face was swept by the white light of the searchlight, I finally saw his eyes and expression. There is no obvious pain, no obvious anger, as if the whole person is still in a daze, dazed by the strong and dazzling light. It's just that under the fleeting light, his whole person seems to have aged ten years.
I finally understand what a soul-level performance is, the kind of desperate despair that is instantly destroyed by someone who destroys the spiritual pillar and pulls away the life-saving straw in his hand. expressed in voice.
Based on this alone, I am convinced that no matter how the remake of this film is cast, there cannot be any actor who can successfully interpret the last-minute despair of the male protagonist Limas to the extreme.
At that moment, I really hoped that he would let go of his love and reluctantly turn to the west. After all, a thought is the difference between life and death. I believe he was swept away by the pain and despair for a moment, and his mind was confused for a while and it was too late to recover.
But when I saw him turn it back again, my heart sank all of a sudden. East Germany called him a few times and told him to go back to his side, and I knew he would not go back, no regrets.
Sure enough, he finally fell between the broken walls under the Berlin Wall. When he fell, he and his lover were separated from each other by a distance, and they could not really be together in death.
It is better to say that he sacrificed himself than to say that he sacrificed himself. Since the soul has disintegrated and the spirit has collapsed, it is better to simply die.
PS: The original author Le Carre is often on the set. He should have told Burton what he thought, and Burton performed the final scene according to his own understanding.
After all, the original book also wrote about his mental activities and facial expressions after he landed, and his near-death hallucinations after he was shot and fell to the ground. These are omitted in the movie, leaving only two or three seconds for Burton to express so many complex psychological activities. This depends on his great acting talent. He is really a natural actor.
