However, a "standing man" may not only be determined not to be destroyed by external pressure, but also contain professional dedication and sense of responsibility. Whether it is the protagonist Lawyer Donovan, or Abel spy, or Bowers pilot, or CIA and KGB operators. Everyone is trying their best to do their best and fulfill their responsibilities. The people are crazy, the people are kind, the people are ignorant, and the people are violent. "Standing man" means not to become a member of the mob, and to use reason and conscience to regulate one's behavior.
There are too many details in the movie to reveal the characters of the characters. Abel said "what's the use of worrying", he was a firm and loyal person, but he was too excited when he got home. Bowers was captured by the Soviet Union, a young, honest and open-minded young man who has endured temptation, intimidation, and all kinds of high-pressure interrogation, and still can stick to his principles and not reveal his secrets. And the protagonist, lawyer Donovan, needs no further elaboration. Maintain your own client and achieve your goals.
Perhaps the most touching scene in the film is at the end, during the two-for-one exchange of American and Soviet prisoners of war, East Germany decided to return the detained American students at the checkpoint. While waiting, Abel in turn comforted Donovan, "I can wait a little longer." Maybe this is the mutual sympathy of both enemies and friends.
