      The Courier--Real Movie Adaptation of the Cold War

      It is based on a true story in the 1960s, an era filled with espionage as spies from the US and UK fought against their opposites in the Soviet Bloc. The reality of the situation back then was less James Bond and more realistic. Greville Wynne was a British businessman . From 1960 to 1962, he, as "courier" of true Russian agent Oleg Penkovsy, delivered thousands of pieces...

      Friends, would you like to have a somewhat correct view of history?

      Westerners have changed the movie, depicting all the Soviet mutineers as human awakening, for world peace, for better world, really, I have seen enough, okay? The reason why Pankovsky sent information is because his father was a Belarusian officer who was shot and killed, which affected his career. He began to crazy and perverted his revenge against the country. More than 5,000 pieces of information were not taken, so you told me that this is for the love of the world? Breaking away from the...

      So the "evil Soviet Union" is the truth, right?

      I usually like to watch movies during the Cold War, but after watching a lot of movies controlled by the United Kingdom and the United States, I can’t help but sigh and sigh: how strong the Soviet Union was back then, and how much the West hates that part of history today, of course, the feng shui turns, the Soviet Union The disappearance of the world has left almost all the right to interpret history in the hands of the Western world.

      It is true that during the period of the Soviet...

      two sacrifices

      The film is a spy war film during the Cold War, with two protagonists, one is a businessman messenger (played by Doctor Strange) who is a non-professional spy, and the other is a Russian colonel who voluntarily "mutated".

      This is one of the rare spy movies in these years, which has been almost equivalent to an action movie or a conspiracy movie, such as "Mission Impossible" or "The Wind". This film interprets the hearts of the protagonists. For this reason,...

      Based on true stories, the poignant film behind them is invisible

      Write in front:

      I hope that everyone will focus on anti-war views and not hold on to other people's personal life perceptions. Unnecessary arguments waste other people's time and your own life. All unnecessary replies are deleted, I don't want to invite some idle people to quarrel with me, thank you.

      ==========The dividing line that is annoyed by idlers============

      Watching the movie the day before Wynne's homecoming anniversary was...

      Benny is really a good actor. Not only does he lose weight to make his body conform to the prototype, but many expressions and states are very accurate. The story is a very normal story, and the values ​​are also very normal values, but everyone's wonderful interpretation makes the story complete, and the final reunion is full of...

    Evaluation action

    "The Courier" awakens viewers' memories of spy movies, and audiences may be reminded of 2015's Cold War spy movies. The plot of the first hour of the film has a good description of the relationship between the characters, and the mistakes are complicated and exciting. But in the later episodes, since the character played by Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch was imprisoned, the whole film began to become very boring. There are many...

    Movie quotes

    • Greville Wynne: Oleg - can I call you Oleg?

      Oleg Penkovsky: In English, my name doesn't sound good. Call me Alex.

    • Oleg Penkovsky: I'm sorry it has to be you. But Greville, it has to be you.

    • Emily Donovan: We know you're a patriot. We know how hard this must be for you. Colonel, whatever brought you here, it must frighten you more than the danger of you being here.

      Oleg Penkovsky: Khrushchev. Khrushchev frightens me. He is impulsive, chaotic - a man like that should not have nuclear commands.
