Not just a suspense film

Maybe it’s because I don’t know much about the history of the Soviet Union... The film was so fast at the beginning, the amount of information was so large that it was difficult to digest, and it was even difficult to understand the background of the story. When I saw the protagonist and his wife being dismissed and placed there, I finally couldn't help Baidu the film, only to realize that it was a film adapted from a novel based on real events. Speaking of "adapted from real events", I like the most: D Continue, after probably understanding the political background of the times, I finally connected the previous episodes. It became clearer when I looked at the following plot, and I thought it was a good story. In general, for a historical novice, it is still quite difficult to fully enjoy this film. First of all, the protagonist Leo, a heroic soldier who is loyal to the party, if the reason for his inner change is not understood by everyone, the charm of this story has been lost half. Therefore, for those friends who think that the story line is messy and indecent. My suggestion is that everyone should understand the background of the story before watching it, and don't watch this film with the mentality of just watching a suspense-solving film. At least I think it is more reflection on history than solving suspenseful cases.

    A rather unexpected film. First, the story is set during the Stalin dictatorship of the former Soviet Union. In such a strong historical period, the director put the clues of the story on a children’s series of murders. This plot setting makes the whole film look like one. The huge burger with double meatloaf has a rich taste and endless aftertaste. You will sigh in such a political environment that everyone is in danger and is forced to frame others, and is worried about the brutal murderer appearing at any time.

    Apart from Hardy, there really isn't much to see. It is nothing more than a story about a government official who gave up everything to find out the truth. His wife is indeed a woman. Another story tells us: cutting grass is not eradicated, the spring wind blows and regenerates.
