Bridge of Spies: A Reassuring True Story

"Bridge of Spies": very very main theme, like "Black Hawk Down", "Saving Private Ryan", "Escape from Tehran", it perfectly interprets the American theme concept of "leave no man behind". It's just that the protagonist this time is not a life-and-death brother, a dear friend, a soldier who swore to serve the country, or a flexible professional agent. The protagonist is just a lawyer, a private agent who is not officially recognized or recognized by any government. Tom Hanks' expressions are always the same, but every look is different. The old actor is so charming. The male supporting role also fits my ideal image of a spy very well. Loyal, regular, low-key, calm, unassuming and unremarkable. Imagine if the spy were like in the movie and TV series with suits, hats, sunglasses and gloves, handsome and stylish. I recognized it at a glance, so there is no need to cover it up, and I was targeted and killed before I started the mission... Back to the movie, the story is very smooth, the beginning and the end are explained together, the contrast between the front and the back is sharp, there are A few similar transitions are impressive (watching so many Spielberg films, I still can't figure out his style, what he shoots like what). Anyway, it's a good movie, I'm crying anyway... Let me know that no matter who I am, no matter where I am, no matter what happens, my country will never give up on me, it's reassuring ! Also, no matter what others say or think, be a Standing Man!

Rudolf Abel: Standing there like that you reminded me of the man that used to come to our house when I was young. My father used to say: "watch this man'. So I did. Every time he came. And never once did he do anything remarkable.
James Donovan: And I remind you of him?
Rudolf Abel: This one time, I was at the age of your son, our house was overrun by partisan border guards. Dozens of them. My father was beaten, my mother was beaten, and this man, my father's friend, he was beaten. And I watched this man. Every time they hit him, he stood back up again. So they hit him harder. Still he got back to his feet. I think because of this they stopped the beating. They let him live. "Stoit i muzhik," I remember them saying... "stoit i muzhik." Which sort of means like uh, 'standing man'. Standing man...
