"Official Secrets" is a very interesting movie worth discussing! The female protagonist worked in the British National Security Agency. Because of her work, she saw the illegal activities of the United States to unite with the United Kingdom to attack Iraq for various purposes. Britain is the mainstay, the world is in a big uproar... Then let's talk about interesting places a little bit! First of all, this film adapted from real events, judging from the finished film, the script weaving is extremely compact and climax, the director has strong control over the narrative of the image, and the actors are almost online, except for the one I was more obsessed with in the "Jane Austen" era. Keira Knightley was a little disappointed, but the overall configuration and presentation of the commercial film is very exciting...then let's talk about some details in this movie that I haven't forgotten. First of all, about what a staff member who has signed a lifetime confidentiality agreement can see, even if it is illegal, can it be leaked? You can think about it from the perspective of the country, the people, or from an objective point of view... Compare the importance of judicial justice and true independence, and the importance of the fairness and true independence of power supervision agencies... Whether the media is used as entertainment or freedom of speech, Its mission is important in a country... Maybe some people saw this movie and felt that the heroine was a bit virgin, too missionary. If there is such an idea, I think it is understandable, because we are in an environment where we can be inferior from the outside. It is hard for us to imagine. People may be able to do it knowing that there may be too much danger, which is a bit unbelievable! Or does she have faith? No, it is clear in the movie that she has no faith! I remember having such thoughts when chatting with a few friends. I personally think that belief is an extremely noble act of belief. We have a basic sense of morality. Even if we know shame, we will still be self-disciplined by following the minimum social code of conduct. Then, it is not difficult for you to understand the behavior of the heroine... What else do you want to say while watching the movie, let me Think about it again... PS: For me, there are really Easter eggs in the play. When a familiar voice appears in an old lawyer's office, although the light and shadow are not obvious, I know that he is Ralph Fiennes? ??

    The shot is very old school, but it needs this fan. It is a miracle that personal beliefs are fighting the helplessness and pressure of the system, as well as the checks and balances of the civil society on the government system, and in the end everything is restored to the court. But the war started, and Blair just resigned. It seems that Snowden really can't win the lawsuit.

    Sometimes there is no technical, academic or analytical angle to watch movies... The biggest flash of this story may be that idealists will recognize each other and attract, even very mature idealists of vicissitudes and impulsive naive idealists , light is always light. It also reminds me that I grew up in a news environment, and I want to organize news films for my dad, whose idealism is still alive, to watch and discuss together.
