Eric O'Neill is a very motivated young man, and a small case that maybe his superiors don't care about, let him make a fancy report. However, if he wants to be promoted, he has to make a big case. When he was in bed with his girlfriend on Sunday, the opportunity came (why does the opportunity always come at this time).
Those who stalk old fritters must be rookies who are fledgling, stupid, and don't seem to have any threats. You must know that for an old agent who has served for 25 years, the spirit of doubting everything has been dissolved into the blood.
The test starts from the first meeting, whether Eric O'Neill can withstand it, of course, otherwise how can he be on TV.
Capable people are charismatic, and Robert Hanssen increasingly puts Eric in a dilemma. He began to doubt his mission. A rookie is still a rookie after all.
Smart people think too much, and they will be lonely if they think too much. When you are alone, you want to prove yourself, and the best way to prove yourself is to do what others can't. Being a spy is very exciting, and it is also very exciting to be Jing Meifeng. But they can't make up for the loneliness of Qu Gao and widowhood.
Hanssen, who wanted to wash his hands with gold, was hooked by Eric's provocation. He wants to prove that he is important, and the way is to sell intelligence.
The director didn't describe Hanssen as a heinous villain. This man with few smiles on his face is still very depressed. Prayer is a vent, and so is sex.
Eric's final withdrawal can be regarded as a superficial attack on the US government. The life of an agent can not be suppressed. Kate Burroughs' lonely life is an example. In the end, she persuaded Eric to stay, on the grounds that Juliana would also adapt. And this kind of adaptation is also a bit helpless.
The computer in the hallway was still intact when Eric left, and what was there at the beginning of the movie is still there two months later. This makes the work of government agencies more efficient. Hanssen said maybe the reason he did it maybe to show us how lax our security was. Sure, it might be an excuse, but it's an intriguing one.
