      Compared with Liang Wendao's book review, it seems to be a little worse.

      After watching it for a while, I feel that this movie is worth writing about, and it is uncomfortable not to write about it.

      Liang Wendao recommended this book in a program, saying that the story of the book itself is not the most important thing, he is just a bamboo stick, and the bits and pieces in the Soviet society are the complete worldview that the original book wants to express . It turned out that Gao Xiaosong interviewed Prince Ma and said that it is difficult for people to...

      A pity

      I haven’t read the novel. The first half of the film still feels good, and it is quite tense. In the second half, the IQ has turned sharply. Later, I read the comments of the squirming doudouyou a little bit to understand the original work. The parentheses quote the comments of the squirming beanie with a hat. Lest I forget later. (The beginning of the movie did not clearly explain the original cause of the whole story. In the novel, Leo and his brother lived in an era of...

      This is not a suspense film

      Stalin died on March 5, 1953. Before his death, the Soviet Union was under the control of an extremely centralized leader. Cheka and the KGB arrested dissidents with the government, "enemies of the revolution", and were not To be executed was to be sent to a concentrated labor camp like Gulag Island. After 1953, Khrushchev came to power, overturned some of Stalin's conclusions, put a useful patch on the framework of the centralized government, and politically tended towards enlightened...

      What does this have to do with us?

      What accent does the actor use have anything to do with us?
      Which actor has too many plays and too little has anything to do with us?
      The plot of the movie cannot be distinguished whether it is love or suspense, or what does the action have to do with us?

      We are not Oscar judges. Why do we have to comment on formatted things when writing a film review? Why do we watch a movie? Is it just to see if this director is qualified enough? What does this have to do with us? I don’t...

      A screenwriter patronized the black Soviet and Russian movies that forgot to solve the case, and wasted so many handsome guys. In contrast, the HBO TV movie "Citizen X" of the same theme, although bland, at least reliable, has a lot of confusion within the detailed system. This is too exaggerated. At the end, it seems that a private detective couple is running around with guns, which is...

      A movie with an odd entry point. It feels particularly nondescript to tell a case-solving story against the backdrop of the Red Horror. Really pretending to be in the USSR. ....

      The darkness of Stalin's era is completely the template of the Cultural Revolution. The big brother of the Soviet Union is really not for nothing. The Cultural Revolution is not original, and it is also a copycat. In the system, the prison and the reporting system, no one is safe, and humanity is losing. In order to survive, the evil of human nature is released. However, this film still shows the last bit of kindness in the evil...

      It's completely Hollywood suspense movie mode, not fun, the original is much more extreme, especially Leo's life experience, almost completely cut off in the...

      I understand that the original work is based on an unsolved SK plot in the special background of the Stalin period of the former Soviet Union, involving war, politics, family, love, and human nature... A lot of things have been said, and the movie is such a collection of good What kind of shit did the actor shoot? Distressed... It's hard for Tang Lao Shi to look like Lao Tzu's acting...

    Movie quotes

    • Leo Demidov: If you are so innocent, why do you run? Hmm?

      Anatoly Tarasovich Brodsky: That's a very good question. I run because you were following me. When you are followed, you are arrested. And when you are arrested, you are already guilty. So you tell me, why did I run?

    • Tortoise: What did you expect when you came here? That we didn't mind dying? That Raisa would be saved? But if you don't denounce her, we will die, all four of us. With the only difference, that you would die knowing in your heart that you did the right thing. And so you calculate. One dead. Or four. One dead. Or four.

    • Raisa Demidov: Leo, do you know what people get around here when they demand the truth? Do you? They get terror.

      Leo Demidov: Raisa, we are already dead.
