      fascinated man

      Ant-Man made a World War II spy film, trying to show Moyberg, a mysterious American spy during World War II. But the effect is not good. The reason can be attributed to the fact that Mr. Berg is too mysterious, and his choices are different from most people, and he is really the same man.

      This film first introduces the background of Moiberg, and then introduces Mr. Berg's greatest contribution...

      Is the male lead bisexual? ? ?

      There is a scene where the history professor shakes his hand, and then he wakes up naked and looks lost. . . . Isn't it just after one night's appointment and then the history professor leaves without saying goodbye? There are also hints in the front that the rookie players followed him and said he was the base. . . The director was too obscure. . . Let people guess again and again. . . And since I went to Japan to take pictures, why don't I take more pictures of the customs. . . The...

      some poetic war spy film

      After watching it, I feel that it is more like a literary film, which is reflected in several aspects: the color tone is very warm and comfortable, and maybe I like home very much, so I love the retro furnishings, architecture and home style in it;

      Lighting creates a good atmosphere

      The soundtrack is soothing...

      the person who hides in the heart

      a job

      "How do you know he ran over there?" the pitcher asked.

      "I just know." Morton explained helplessly.

      The professional baseball player of the Boston Red Tile team, known as Professor Mo, has three degrees from prestigious schools, is proficient in seven languages, and has an elite knowledge level knowledge level. In his opinion, it is common sense. Addicted to commuting to and from the baseball field and the library, any attempt to hide in front of him is in plain...

      Alien hero

      This time, by chance, I watched the movie more completely. It should be more in line with the description of World War II in my mind. There are many dark backgrounds in the film, and I can feel the tension of actor Paul Luther's interpretation. After all, such a drama needs the strength of the actors. War is cruel, it tests human nature, and it also tests directors and actors who use war as the theme. After all, the film is based on a biography of a real person. To be honest,...

      The color of the 1940s is good, the male protagonist can switch between German, Italian, French, Japanese and English at will, and the supporting characters are good. In addition, it means that this guy has done Kawabata Yasunari?...

      SFO first shot. The background of the story is quite attractive, but it is a bit mixed, so the main line is not clear, what about the climax later... Well, my English listening is a little weak for German accent lines. PS: I don't see that Ant-Man is almost 50 years...

      Moe Berg: What job?

    • Sam Goudsmit: And so, the madness becomes real - We have to kill Werner Heisenberg, and I am to be a part of it.

      Moe Berg: No one wants to kill Heisenberg.

      Sam Goudsmit: Yeah? Then kidnap him! Send in spies to Germany and kidnap him.

      Robert Furman: Ah, you've read too many spy novels.

      Sam Goudsmit: I've never read a spy novel.

      Robert Furman: It's not that easy to kidnap somebody.

      Sam Goudsmit: Ah yeah, you mean killing is easier.

    • William J. Donovan: I don't know what god you believe in, Berg, if any. But I'll be asking mine to keep an eye on you.
