"Translation Storm"

In my heart, Sean Penn is undoubtedly a well-deserved actor. He burned his anger to a volcano eruption, he suppressed his dullness to a trickle underground, he made his excitement unbearable, and he interpreted his sadness into tears. However, in "Translation Storm", it is Nicole Kidman, the actress who keeps the suspense and horror shrouded in our heads and gripping like needles.
It's been a long time since Nicole and Tommy divorced. While we sighed for such a peerless relationship, we were also pleasantly surprised to find that both Nicole and Tommy's acting careers were booming, and they were no worse than before. So comforting. And Nicole has always been the most beautiful actress in the hearts of fans. In "The Interpreter", she shrewdly, masterfully and professionally interprets the story of a simultaneous interpreter under pressure, questioning, and danger after overhearing a murder conspiracy. Nicole's performance, such as the mountains and forests, the gentle breeze, the rustling sound, no traces of artificial, no delicate contrivance, all of which are at hand, but people get lost and can't extricate themselves.
Although the theme of "Translation Storm" is not new, and there is no love between Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman, Sidney Pollack's spy suspense drama still won the hearts of fans, just because Sidney Pollack took the suffocating atmosphere, the complexity of the characters, and the seriousness of the situation down to millisecond precision, making people dare not let go of the atmosphere, and dare not turn their eyes. Its at its mercy.

    The most handsome Sean Penn and the most beautiful Nicole Kidman, but why did the suspense unravel when it was less than halfway through the movie?

The Interpreter quotes

  • Silvia Broome: Listen, I'm scared, and my protector is some one who doesn't believe me.

    Tobin Keller: You don't look scared...

    Silvia Broome: People handle fear in different ways, Mr. Keller. It turns some people into stand up comedians. You don't know me at all. Maybe I should talk to someone else about assigning someone to look after me who's better suited to the job.

    Tobin Keller: My job is not to look after you, it's to look after the man who's been threatened, if there was a threat. My job, as it concerns you, is to investigate you.

    Silvia Broome: So you're not here to offer me any protection whatsoever?

    Tobin Keller: No, Ma'am.

    Silvia Broome: [handing him back his card] And we were getting along so well.

  • Silvia Broome: Do you think I'm making it up? Why would I report a threat I didn't hear?

    Tobin Keller: People do.

    Silvia Broome: I don't.

    Tobin Keller: Some people like attention.

    Silvia Broome: I don't!

    Tobin Keller: Maybe you don't want Zuwanie at the U.N.

    Silvia Broome: I didn't make it up.

    Tobin Keller: How do you feel about him?

    Silvia Broome: I don't care for him.

    Tobin Keller: Wouldn't mind if he were dead?

    Silvia Broome: I wouldn't mind if he were gone.

    Tobin Keller: Same thing.

    Silvia Broome: No, it isn't. If I interpreted gone as dead I'd be out of a job, if dead and gone were the same thing there'd be no UN.

    Tobin Keller: Your profession is playing with words Ms. Broome.

    Silvia Broome: I don't play with words.

    Tobin Keller: You're doing it right now.

    Silvia Broome: No, you are. If I wanted him dead, I wouldn't have reported it. I would sit back and let it happen. That's not what I want, that's not why I'm here.
