"The Secret Service" is a movie from 2006. Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie were very young back then, and Robert De Niro was not as old as he is now. Little Freckles is still a young child. Thirteen years later, when I watched the movie, I felt the ruthlessness of the butcher’s knife for people. The protagonist of the movie, Edward Wilson, has been engaged in intelligence and anti-spare work for decades. His loneliness and his philosophy of life are even more impressive. thought deeply. The male protagonist has been nurtured by honor since he was a child, and has been growing up in the noble environment of the upper classes of society, with so-called loyal feelings. Before, I only knew that entering the political and military circles in the United States requires a certain family background and a recommendation from the upper-level people in the industry. After watching this movie, I also learned that there are related social organizations and platforms, and there are more advanced excavations and more in-depth training. . Every step of the hero's growth seems to have the shadow of the government and the penetration of national interests. With a good family background and an excellent person, in a peaceful and stable society, a good foundation for growth and development is naturally laid.
Edward Wilson seems indifferent, and family twists and turns will not have much impact on him, but in fact he loved poetry when he was a student, but later his romantic feelings may be more carried forward in calm and calm. , good at debating the truth, clearing up thoughts in a boring and complex work environment, and sticking to it silently. I always feel that just being cold-hearted and ruthless cannot do such hard intelligence work at all. Because the son was forced to break up with the girlfriend he was in love with, and later had to compromise with the Soviet intelligence personnel for the son, there were personal honor considerations and more love for the son.
The film puts intelligence personnel in the tangle of reason and humanity, and brings their loneliness to life. As an important intelligence officer of the government, despite being cautious and rational at all times, everyone has a weakness in human nature, sometimes even a little bit, in this intricate and extremely sinister work environment, it may be fatal. mistake. Fortunately, there is an urgent situation, and with wit and compromise, it is possible to avoid falling into the abyss and not end up with nothing. Rationality and humanity, enemies and friends, family and work can all be accommodated. Experts will weigh their priorities and walk a tightrope. Passion is always linked with childishness. When these are worn away by the years, in the face of a life full of contradictions and twists and turns, in the face of the result of compromise to freedom, country, family and honor, the emotion at this moment is the most beautiful. of. Edward Wilson is such a master. Being alone, without friends, or even someone who can trust and rely on, does not affect the beautiful feeling of life at this time.
Fortunately, this movie often raises some questions from the ideological height, such as how to accept the supervision of intelligence work, such as the contradiction between the rules of the intelligence department and the principles of the founding of the United States, and whether the so-called loyalty of organization priority and God is reliable. These major problems cannot be solved by movies or literary works, but it is good to dare to raise them, so as to avoid the false and empty theme of the main theme.
