Cardinals, where is the red?

Although the film conveys the individualism of the United States' self-proclaimed, ideological discrimination against Russia, and the shadow of the big cousin's very American style. But as a spy-themed movie, Cardinals is undoubtedly qualified in terms of film structure, plot interpretation and actors' performances.

Compared with Anna next door, who is also on both sides of Sumei KGB CIA, Zhou Xuan rebelled, Peacock is more plump in the shaping of the protagonist. At the beginning of the film, you can smell a hint of the "red" of the cardinals. She stays with her mother and asks for nothing. The cousin who can endure the wiping during the group photo seems cowardly. After the "accident", she and her mother depend on the subsidy of the theater to live. , but the big cousin Biao who knew the truth! fierce! stick! hit! . I was sent to the so-called "Sparrow" porn agent No. 4 school. During the training, my cousin took off! The aura persuaded the male classmates to quit. Although they are sparrows, they are different. Retaining her inner self, the big cousin is very suitable for interpreting such stubborn characters.

In the middle and late stages of the two parties' wandering, the plot lacks convincing. It seems that the heroine's eyes are swollen and will be trusted by the other party. Coupled with the inserted clips, switching the perspective of "Mission Impossible", everything seems reasonable? But my cousin's brutal abuse really caught my eye, weakening the embarrassment of several hard-core reversals and then reversals. The small details of the erratic eyes when seeing the "boyfriend" being strangled are well handled.

Both are Anna and cousin who resisted the fate of the spy. Anna finally became Anna, and the big cousin finally became a red sparrow. Returning to Russia to become a spy for the US, and to protect the previous informant, she wants to win! At the end of the film, the phone calls from Grieg's music are almost over, which is a bit forcibly echoing the emotional line. I also thought of the white crow. Both films have ballet themes, and the classical soundtrack really adds a high-level artistic texture. The advancement of militarization and espionage operations in the Cardinals, coupled with the tense string music, the suspenseful performance is not bad, very depressing. Rudy, the white crow fleeing to the West, no matter what color, is the same as the red sparrow, it is an alternative color in the gray Moscow in the mouth of American movies!

    Abandon the shocking conspiracy or the excitement of Conan saving the world, the intelligence war should look like, the soundtrack is good. I originally disliked the male protagonist, but the script was successfully shaped, plus his sincere attitude and good voice, I liked it without realizing it. Dominika, domina, revenge and information passing happen quietly, very commensurately. The "I'm Waiting" section of Swallow School satirized the hacker's leak of celebrity photos, and also linked the Russian assassination of a double agent.

    Is there a plot? Americans may have a deep sense that the whole world will like them. When looking at someone, you know that you don't want to become one of them, you just know.

Red Sparrow quotes

  • Dominika Egorova: I think one day you will understand.

    Nate Nash: No, I don't think I will. Some things can't be sacrificed. We don't throw people away.

  • Dominika Egorova: You knew what would happen once I got into that room, didn't you?

    Vanya Egorov: You wouldn't have gone if I told you what had to happen.

    Dominika Egorova: I would have had a choice!

    Vanya Egorov: You know what to do. You came to me. That was your choice.

    Dominika Egorova: You're my uncle...!

    Vanya Egorov: I would never have let him hurt you.

    Dominika Egorova: He was inside me!

    [sobs:]

    Dominika Egorova: I don't want to die!

    Vanya Egorov: You don't have to. There's another life waiting for you if you want it. You have potential, great potential. Now, you did well to get him alone. What you said in that bar was exactly right, because you told him exactly what he needed to hear. There is a program... that can teach you what you need to know. The training is very hard. Only a few make it. But you know how to survive. That's why I chose you. Unless if I'm wrong. Perhaps you don't like my line of work. Perhaps you disapprove. In that case... . your future will be out of my hands. I'm sorry.
