Director: A director is measured by whether his works are integrated. "Xiao Sha" is a term we often use to describe such classic films. I often wonder how a film can be controlled by a director to the level of "Xiao Sha". It's a black and white picture, an elegant composition, maybe the performance of the actors in place. . . . . . How many techniques you look familiar to you, when you think about it, co-authoring was left behind in the 1960s.
Editor: It's not so much a spy movie, I...

Let everything make way for the Cold War!
The cold and sharp black-and-white images, the wide-angle long shots that often make the characters small, with British cold humor, and hidden political lines. All of these make the audience completely immersed in the environment of the Cold War.
) Richard Burton's character Leamas is alcoholic, irritable, and cynical. Why does he do this? Because as a double agent, he has seen too many tragic deaths of innocent people (like the cyclist who fled to the Western camp at the beginning of the...

"Forced Pleasure" by a show master
Burton always shows his true temperament, in fact, this is a character set he made for himself, "Richard Burton, this is my title, my motto, my epitaph, my cross. I won I have gained a diabolical reputation that has absolutely nothing to do with my accomplishments as an actor, I am the infamous Richard Burton."
He is both a liar and a showman, and he can really be himself in a few days.
From when he was five or six years old, he was burned in the stove because he lied too much,...

The last straw that broke Limas
Discover a new interpretation of why Limas, the protagonist of "Berlin", went back to the east of the wall to find death - because his colleague Smiley, who came to meet him on the west side of the wall, asked him where the heroine was.
At that time, he was in the hesitation between his recently deceased lover and the hope of life. As a result, Smiley's words completely wiped out his last desire for life, and he crawled back to die for love on a whim.
I have a creepy feeling....

The two women behind the film fight
Translated from Richard Burton: Prince of Flowers by Michael Moon

Unlike any James Bond spy movie of the time, it was a chilling thriller in black and white. Having lunch with Ritter is lead actress Claire Bloom, who plays the librarian who falls in love with...

For example, in the eavesdropping storm, the special agent who developed sympathy for the listening object, such as the German businessman in Schindler's list who aroused the conscience of the slaughtered ethnic group, the literary world often pays special attention to the rare things in the real world. A gentle flame in this cold world can be regarded as a kind of idealistic...

The story of cheating is not uncommon at first, and it is nothing to die for a few men in the world. But with such a lovely and innocent girl, it is a real...

The concise and chilling atmosphere created by the skilled film noir technique in the first half is even more charming in my opinion than Melville, but unfortunately the long and mediocre court debate was too much vented, and the opposite of the story. Turning can't save you at...

The game is very exciting. You thought that the motherland would let you go to the enemy country to make countermeasures, but you are just a pawn in a bigger and deeper reverse protection scheme. People who have no conscience in espionage activities see that they are clever and conscientious. The first half was only worth four stars, the court trial was reversed once, the prison escape was reversed, and the script was upgraded. The soundtrack and atmosphere were charming, and the life was...
Alec Leamas: [to Fiedler] If ever I have to break your neck, I promise to do it with a minimum of force. Now, when do I get my bloody money?
Control: We have to live without sympathy, don't we? We can't do that forever. One can't stay out of doors all the time. One needs to come in from the cold.
Alec Leamas: I'm an operator, Control, just an operator.
Control: There's a vacancy in Banking Section which might suit you.
Alec Leamas: Sorry, I'm an operational man. I'll take my pension. I don't want a desk job.
Control: You don't know what's on the desk.
Alec Leamas: Paper!
Control: [after taking a long sip from his tea cup] I want you to stay, uh, out in the cold... a little longer.
Ashe: [Approaching Leamas who is sitting on a bench] Do you like birds? The ones with the white collars are wild. The others are domesticated. With people it's the other way around.
Alec Leamas: [He snickers]
Ashe: Bird-watching's one of my hobbies. I often come here.
Alec Leamas: Do you also often come to Wormwood Scrubs Prison at eight o'clock in the morning to watch birds?
Ashe: Yes, jailbirds. They're my other hobby.
Alec Leamas: Only the young ones, surely!
