I know all your secret, Tessa

(2005)

At first you thought the love expressed in the film was just an appearance

And conspiracy is the truth under the sugar coat of love

And when you see it at the end you will find that love is still the foundation of everything

Even if you know it's conspiracy and death, there will always be love to guide you

The back on Quayle's last beach is the best proof

The film focuses on Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), a diplomat at the British Embassy in Kenya.

Sent to Africa with his righteous wife

However, one day, his wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz) was found dead in the countryside.

The result of the investigation is that he was killed by his lover

This is obviously unconvincing

Quayle decides to find out the truth about his wife's death

After he gradually got closer to the truth of the incident after many difficult forensics

He understands his beloved Tessa

Because it is caught between the conspiracy of the politically-backed British pharmaceutical companies and the British government.

See through this "political-economic" marriage

Drug makers who want to ban black-hearted drugs use Africans to test new drugs

Tessa's kindness and justice were murdered by these people

Now they want to take away Quayle's right to pursue a lover

Forbid him to find the truth

She was stopped

This is a sad and helpless film

We can't tell Tessa about the dangers of going to Loki

Can't stop her from dedicating herself to her journalism ideals and beliefs

We can't rescue Quayle from behind the scenes

As he pursues the clues of his wife's murder step by step

We have no position to let him stop

We can't tell African people as vulnerable as Wanza

He is being used as a "guinea pig" for drug experiments

We can't even stop them from getting treatment

Because that would deprive them of the opportunity for medical assistance

Under various pressures, people go through their own ways

Murdered the couple with kindness, justice and love

Tessa failed to achieve her career aspirations

Failed to prevent new drugs from continuing to enter the African continent

She was stopped

in a powerless, unjust way

That's the way here

when you are in such an environment

you will become extremely compassionate

When Quayle first came to Africa to pick up his wife who had just given birth from the hospital

Once rejected his wife's offer to take Wanza Kilulu home

Although he knew that the poor little girl who had just given birth had to walk a long way

to go back to your home

This is a huge physical consumption

But Quayle thinks the world needs help

There are too many people as unfortunate as this girl

It's not something they can do

Until he met a sensible little African girl while investigating his wife's case

Unsettled situation in Africa

As required, she was unable to board the rescue plane and had to run to the refugee camp alone.

And that's difficult for a young little girl

At this time, Quayle's attitude has changed dramatically

He wants to help this little girl

He wants to help even if he is alone

Just like his wife's choice

“I say put people first”

But that's the way the place is

The weak will only be bullied, fooled, deceived and abandoned

You can't help them even alone

Homicide where no pusher could be found

At the time of entry and exit, it can be said that Quayle's passport is forged

Although he is a diplomat

Just a few phone calls on the out-of-reach African continent

to end a person's life

It's a murder with no one behind it

Too many people want them to stop and go home

But for Quayle there is no Tessa

He has no home

He wants to fulfill Tessa's wish

He regretted that he had once doubted her and let her down

So even if threatened to see death happen to me, I was warned again and again

He still wants to help Tessa make her research public.

Accept your own death at the place where Tessa died

I want to be your Gardener

At first Quayle only knew that Tessa was busy with her work all day

And his own hobby is managing the garden in his spare time.

He has absolutely no idea what kind of dangerous investigation Tessa sees going on.

Nor did she know that she was at the center of a dire truth

He could not appreciate how many tragic stories lie behind the high mortality rates of African people

He loves Tessa in a simple way

Until the woman he loves dies for her work

Sacrifice for thousands of African people who they did not know

He loves the bravery of this woman more

I also understand her intention to not let him participate in her own consideration.

But the closer you get to the truth, Quayle also becomes more and more like Tessa

He often thinks of Tessa at various investigation sites

Remembering the tragic truths she faced with these dirty deals and heartbreaks

The smile still on the face

So the film is not only touching the beauty of Tessa

It's Quayle's tears when he thinks of Tessa and those silent, silent silences

At the end of the film, Quayle knows his fate has been

He recalls Tessa on the beach

He finally fully understood this woman

Learned all her secrets and struggles

"I know all your secrets"

"I think I understand you now"

no murder in africa

only mourning death

"Buried with the remaining 62 unregistered people"

This may be the fate of all African people who have tried new drugs and have adverse reactions

However, from these dead, we can obviously get more reflection

We can terminate the trial at any time

We can create more effective drugs without side effects

but we didn't

We take advantage with ease without worrying about their lives

Because their lives are insignificant

Because this benefit is readily available

Too many people are helping those behind the scenes to do bad things

But no guilt

Death is seen as a common occurrence

Kindness is seen as extravagance

Where do the wrongdoers go to find redemption?
