Realistic style, a spy film featuring autobiography of inner emotions

The movie was made very well. I don’t know why some people always say that the plot is too boring, the conflict is not intense enough, and it’s not exciting enough. The problem is that they don’t take the kind of spy movie that they use at all. The whole movie tends to be more of one kind. The protagonist's inner monologue and emotional autobiographical nature, from the beginning to the end of the film reveals a heavy gloom and the unwilling struggle of the loser and the forgotten, just like the protagonist in the film, the smoke does not leave his hands, the alcohol does not leave his hands, Poo belly, panting, messy hair, this is the true portrayal of life. The real living conditions of the real people who use non-legal means to "seek more peace in the world": trivial, high-pressure, anxious and sleek, When necessary, they even used these indiscriminate methods to directly kidnap and deal with various forces. There is a section in the film where Gangser’s group uses a primitive way to force female lawyers to submit. The process used the most authentic means to show the almost paranoid and helpless approach of this group of people. There are no scenes of fierce conflict in the whole film, and even the guns have not even appeared in front of them. They are all complex and subtle relationships between various forces and characters. After seeing that the protagonist used a large group of people in the end, but he was used by others, he could only roar twice in vain like an old lion, and the audience was shocked and sighed deeply. So in general, this is a movie that focuses on inner feelings, not scenes and plots. Commercial spy films with a little bit of idealistic entertaining like the pot maker tailors, although they are good-looking and seductive, they lack the simple and real life atmosphere.

    The tone is accurate but lacks vitality. The director's problem has always been that he doesn't know how to adjust a more contrasting rhythm. It's not as good as "The Tinker"

    The reality is always cold, our feelings are too abundant, a basin of cold water or a head slams into the south wall or something, the result is often bleak and unbearable to witness, at most it is a sigh or a stern sentence of FUCK.

A Most Wanted Man quotes

  • Günther Bachmann: You're looking at me, at us, but we don't exist, not legally, not officially, because German intelligence needs a job to be done that German law won't let it do, so me and my people, we stay small. We stay on the streets. We make the weather. Our sources don't come to us. We find them. We become their friends, their brothers, their fathers, their lovers if we have to. When they're ours, and only then, we direct them at bigger targets. It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda, a barracuda to catch a shark.

  • Jamal: You are forcing me to betray my own father?

    Günther Bachmann: You are not betraying him. You are saving him. That is an act of love.
