Your watchman is consensus

This is the best movie I have seen in recent years. I have to write about my feelings without the limit of words: movies that appeal to me generally have two shining points, one is the plot twists, and the other is the complex characters of humanity. This film tells a complete story, and the plot is qualified; the most important thing is that the characters portrayed are so lovely to me. The Soviet spy always has a calm expression. When facing death, he calmly said that of course death is not me. first choice. He sticks to his own principles and doesn't reveal any information. In this case, if he has to face death, he accepts it calmly. The American lawyer asked him several times, "Are you never worried?" He always answered "would it help?" not nervous. It's my curse to not be able to sleep during the big exams. Similarly, the night before the wedding, it is difficult to fall asleep before the interview, so I am very envious and fond of this character. The insistence of the American lawyer and the Soviet spy had the same purpose: to perform one's task (profession) with honor. Their own inner watchman tells them that they should do this, to be worthy of their conscience, no matter what others say, this is what the American lawyer told the young American pilot when he asked him what the public would think of him when he returned to the United States. People are very scary, and they are easily induced by emotions to make black-and-white judgments instead of looking at things rationally. The jury in To kill a mocking bird sent him guilty because the defendant was a black man. In this film, the people on the bus who were influenced by the newspaper public opinion changed their attitude towards the American lawyer: because the American lawyer's defense object was a Soviet spy who spurned him; He is admired for his success as a negotiator in bringing back American spies and American students. In the context of the Cold War, small people stick to their own positions, are not affected by the political climate, and complete their careers with conscience and professionalism. They naturally think that this is not worth mentioning. It should be like this, why not let people Moving.

Bridge of Spies quotes

  • 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...
