For several types of audiences, this movie is a must-see-I like the two leading actors, and I like to scold the US government hypocrisy as a bastard.
Three and a half stars are given to the whole, and the lines, photography, editing and other aspects are not bad, but there is nothing special; the actors are given an extra half star.
-------------The above are all the valuable points in this post-view, and the rest of the text is spit and boring nagging-------------- -----The way the
original news clip runs through the film from the beginning is very good, especially when it ends with Valerie Plame's own report (she seems to be much more capable and tough than Naomi's screen image).
Seen as a suspenseful (?) political drama of "Citizens Against the Evil White House", the biggest shortcoming of this movie is that it has no climax, serious lack of drama, and the ending is only slightly excited. The common tragic sacrifices or arduous victories of lone fighters, and the fighting of wits and courage between the good and evil factions are almost absent; there is no sorrowful temperament in the absurdity brought out by exaggerated and ironic descriptions. After all, this is adapted from real characters and events, and it is impossible to add plots and elements that are common in fictional dramas here.
The description of family relations focuses on details and trivial matters, starting from the protagonist’s personal emotions... These are quite in line with the requirements of biopics. It's a pity that the theme of this film is not "Confrontation with the White House-the upright former diplomat does not fear pressure and challenges the hegemony of the government alone" or "Walking into the CIA strong woman-revealing the story behind the Iraq War and observing the married life of the agents from the first point of view" .
The problem is that the two parties are in black and white, and the protagonist’s image is one-sided like a popcorn movie (from the source of the script adaptation of this movie, this is understandable), and then they are using inspirational biopics. Rhythm tells the story, and there are many realisms interspersed in it... Indeed, this is not an easy subject to grasp, and it should be more than this director who will treat it as a warm water, but I personally doubt it will be There will be such "satisfactory, no surprises" that the director can handle.
As mentioned earlier, the performance of the actors is the highlight of this movie. Both Naomi and Sean are actors who are stable and hard to make mistakes. Coupled with the tacit understanding after many cooperations, it should not be possible in the English circle now. There are more suitable starring candidates than these two. The role of Sean Penn may be difficult for other actors. For him, it is more basic than basic skills—the smelly and hard leftist, disdain to conceal his emotions—these characteristics can describe the role and describe him. There is nothing inappropriate for me. BTW, he yelled to Naomi, "Does the louder sound mean correct?" and the passage with reporters made me think whether he got the true story of Lao Pa ==|||
Naomi's moral conscience for the character, identity in life The shaping of these aspects is impeccable; but professionally, I always feel that she is missing something, especially after the news clip of the protagonist himself at the end comes out.
Although the movie is generally very flat, the small climax at the end is still very nice.
