Ant-Man made a World War II spy film, trying to show Moyberg, a mysterious American spy during World War II. But the effect is not good. The reason can be attributed to the fact that Mr. Berg is too mysterious, and his choices are different from most people, and he is really the same man.

This film first introduces the background of Moiberg, and then introduces Mr. Berg's greatest contribution in World War II, the assassination of the chief scientist of Nazi Germany's nuclear weapons program, the famous physicist Heisenberg, who proposed the uncertainty principle. Nobel Prize winner.

First, let's talk about Mr. Berg's background, a Jew, a player of the Boston Red Sox. But unlike the stupid and rough players in China, he has degrees from three universities including Princeton, and is proficient in seven foreign languages, including Mandarin and Cantonese. Also participate in elite knowledge competitions. A high-end talent with as much mind as body. In addition, this gentleman and Kawabata Yasunari sympathized with each other and discussed the issue of the war between the United States and Japan. As a private person, I actually photographed warships and military installations in Tokyo, Japan. You can't really guess what's going on in this gentleman's mind.

At the end of his career, the United States was involved in World War II. Mr. Berg felt that playing baseball was overkill, so he recommended himself to join the US intelligence service. After a series of training and tests, Mr. Berg was assigned a major task to assassinate Heisenberg and prevent the Nazis' nuclear weapons program.

In fact, according to information obtained by Italian scientists, Germany's nuclear weapons program is stuck in the stage of building a reactor, and it is still far from developing nuclear weapons. Britain judged that the probability of Germany developing an atomic bomb was zero. But the Yankees are more cautious, and the probability of judgment is 5%, but if Germany builds an atomic bomb, it will change the course of history, so the Yankees still decided to shoot people to assassinate Heisenberg. Berg became the right person.

As a result, Berger moved to Switzerland, where Heisenberg attended an academic seminar invited by his peers. Berg sneaked into the meeting and found a chance to do it, but at the last moment he gave up the assassination, because in the life-and-death dialogue with Heisenberg, he found out that the other party was just an innocent scientist serving his country, which happened to be given to the Nazis. Just hold. Thus, the brilliance of humanity overcomes the urge to perform a task. Berg spared Heisenberg.

After World War II, Berg awarded the Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor a civilian can get, but he actually refused to receive it, showing his mysterious personality again.

In addition, Berg fan-like character is also expressed in the principle of feelings. Obviously he has a stable girlfriend, but he doesn't talk about it with others, so that his teammates suspect that he is a base, and he would rather beat his teammates than explain. In addition, he and his girlfriend fell in love, but after the end of World War II, they did not marry and broke up. His choice is really hard to understand.

It can only be said that this gentleman is really a fascinating man. Maybe because there are too many mysteries, it is difficult to make a good film, and the choice of the protagonist lacks a reasonable explanation. As a result, the film has a general viewing experience, and the overall evaluation is three stars.
