Translators are a very special profession, especially in the political field. Any small mistake may cause an international crisis. As a translator, you can't mix personal feelings in your work. Their task is to convey the opinions and opinions of others as they are. Right or wrong has nothing to do with them. This requires an unusually peaceful and stable mentality. From the initial performance, Sylvia is a very competent translator, with a calm, clear expression, and awe-inspiring expression. It is only accidental events that touched her memories of the past, and there will be a series of thought fluctuations in the future. Mastering a very unpopular foreign language gave her a more special identity, because she was able to use her ears to insight into secrets that others could not know. According to the law of political struggle, secrets are always dangerous, so they also face considerable threats to their lives while working. Therefore, the film reflects the director's attention to translators to a certain extent.
Nicole Kidman’s interpretation is quite wonderful, a translator who grew up in Africa, whose parents and sister were killed due to genocide, and left his beloved brother and couple, hides under the calm surface Complex emotions. She and Tobin have the same emotional experience, that is, the pain of losing a lover, so two people who were wary of each other at the beginning will get close in their hearts. Tobin originally suspected that she provided false information and wanted to take revenge on the culprit who killed his relatives, but she calmly told Tobin about her tolerant attitude, "Retaliation is a long-term form of grief", and only forgiving the enemy can get the soul. Salvation. But why did she try to shoot Suwanee in the end? Was it just because her lover and brother were also killed? Is her determination to tolerate so weak? I think the reason why she hated Suwanee so much that she wanted to put it to death, apart from the pain of bereavement, was more of a resentment that was deceived by politicians. She has regarded Suwani as a hero since she was a child. Judging from the fact that she still carries Suwani's writings, Suwani was once the sustenance of her beliefs and thoughts. Of course, Suwanee is just an excellent liar, and she will leave her hometown and come to the United States only when she realizes this. When she heard and witnessed many tragedies again, she finally got angry and went to refute his lies face to face and vent her fooled indignation.
It is undeniable that the suspense throughout the film should be the most important factor that attracted me to the film, and the ending was unexpected and logically handled properly. I found another ending in the footage of this film, which forced Sowani to count his countless crimes in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. This ending should be even more shocking. Of course, the ending today is more realistic. After all, cunning and hypocritical politicians are not so easy to obediently submit.
