The father-son
father’s influence on his son is undoubtedly great. A father whose loyalty is questioned ended his life by suicide. Before he died, he said to his son: "Never lie to your friends, that will make your friends not If you trust you again, you will no longer be safe.” Father left a last letter to his family, which seemed to be hidden away by little Edward’s memories, and he never dared to open it.
Friendship
Friendship is undoubtedly a luxury for an intelligence agency that everyone suspects, and it is friendship in the film that maintains the soul of this organization. The mysterious elite organization "Skull and Bones" is like a group and a family. The old man "Bill" (Robert De Niro) is undoubtedly a soul figure. While he taught Edward to be patriotic and loyal, he told her not to trust anyone. "I don't believe in anyone, I only believe in God," he said. "Hays" and Edward are the oldest colleagues. They have gone through many secret missions together. Despite this, the two of them have never established any friendship. "Hays" often said to Edward "Can I trust you." "It's said that there was a traitor in our team, isn't it you?" And Edward never defended it.
Love
Love is always second to the protagonist and can always be sacrificed. The silent Edward fell in love with the same silent, hearing-impaired girl. They watched the sea silently by the sea, and everything was very peaceful. Edward was tempted by Angelina Julie to have a relationship with him. When he learned that Clough was pregnant, he quietly left behind his first love and married Clough. When the old man "Bill" asked him to dedicate his life to the country and set up an overseas intelligence agency in the UK, he immediately left his new wife and went to the front line alone.
responsibility
Responsibility comes first, just like he abandons his first love, just like he abandons his new wife. Responsibility guides his actions. The wife complained that Edward was never by her side, never talked to him, never protected her son. Edward said: I have been waiting for you for 20 years. I married you because of our son. The question is, does the wife need this kind of duty-only marriage?
Faith
Edward Wilson believed in America, and of He Would Sacrifice of He Loved Everything to Protect IT.
"I believe the United States," which is the movie "The Godfather" in the first sentence of the lines. Edward is also proud of America. For his country, he made silent sacrifices, no matter how much he sacrificed, he would never complain. At the "Skull and Bones" rally, he can see his rare smile, which is satisfaction. "Bill" is his father, "Skull and Bones" is his mother, "CIA" is his life's career, and "America" is his belief. The Italian exiled in the United States, played by Joe Pecsi, said to Edward: "I don’t understand you. We Italians have our families and churches. Jews have their culture and traditions. Even Africans. Owning music, what about you? What do you have?" Edward said, "We own America, and you are all just tourists."
