Sorry, I'm just a state machine

Recently, I became obsessed with secret agent movies, and I revisited Jolie's "Agent Short". To be honest, I didn't understand it, which meant it was not good for me. So, I am not interested in other plots, editing, dynamics, etc. I won't comment, just talk about one of my most memorable scenes, Julie watching her husband Mike drown.

#I am sorry




If this look had a name, I would call it "please die."
Short's husband was caught by the Russian spy chief, Short saw his husband imprisoned in a water prison, he wanted to shoot him, but the leader said " It's not that simple," and let Short watch her husband drown.




This paragraph, the dialogue between the eyes of the two, I give full marks. Salt's pretending to be strong, his eyes filled with tears, Mike's fear and despair, to the last begging for mercy. This was a couple who had lived for a few years and had a happy family. Her husband, Mike, didn't care about Salt's CIA status at all, and hoped to spend the rest of his life with her.
However, Salt wants to see her husband drown with his own eyes, with his own eyes! Drowned!

The conversation they had in the car after Mike spared no effort to rescue Short kept replaying in his mind.
Short: "I work for the CIA, now you understand? We don't have a future. You're not safe with me."
Mike: "I don't want to be safe, I know you, I want to be with you, I think Stay with you for the rest of your life, okay?"

I wonder if Mike ever thought that he would give his life for this woman.
(Are spider scholars so worthless???)
