If you can forget your desire, the years are long and thin-View "The Potmaker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"

There is an old friend in the reading time, who always likes to read two versions of news to us in American and English. The strange thing is that a few words, or even just an adverb, inexplicably ooze high and alienation from the English accent.
Later, the English I listened to became more and more mixed, and all kinds of strange accents turned into a bowl of eight-treasure rice, and the English accent was always the glutinous white background color, arrogant and glamorous. Whenever I heard it, I always felt as if someone was whispering serious things in my ear, a kind of sexy of wanting to welcome or refuse.

Later, I watched more and more British film and television dramas, and there were only a few actors I loved. However, Gary, heh, Gary, who is very evil, is undoubtedly the most outstanding one among them. So, when "The Potmaker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" was released, I took it seriously, wholeheartedly, and empathy.

There are so many spy war dramas, and this film cannot be said to be so refreshing and superior. The routine is orthodox, occasionally a little roundabout, plus a few big-name but British-style actors, the scores are naturally high. However, the lonely life it exudes is so profound!

More than those silent shots.
The boss died of illness on the bedside, and the cold wind blew. Jim sat blankly in the corner of the banquet, looking at Bill with complex expressions. After Smiley's resignation, she walked on the foggy road with her old attitude. One swims, one has haircut, one wears glasses, and one smiles at the street shop window with self-appreciation. Then, a person sat in the dark living room watching TV. There was no sound, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the clock.

I don't know if others feel like this: time flies very slowly when alone. Sometimes, after you finish housework, tidy up, and watch TV, you suddenly look up unconsciously, huh, it's still so early. The air becomes very thin, because you are the only one, and you can't be crowded. The reason for being willing to be alone is often nothing more than giving up. However, the short is life, and the long is loneliness.

So whenever I see such an empty scene in the movie, I will unconsciously concentrate. I really want to know how other people face loneliness. For example: "The Bridesmaid" I watched not long ago. The heroine makes a cupcake in the kitchen with great care. Kneading dough, whipping cream, carving flowers, waiting for baking... But she only made one, a small one. After spending more than an hour, the cupcakes came out, beautiful and tempting. And she, alone, stood quietly in the kitchen, took a closer look at the cake, and ate it one bite at a time.
You see, loneliness has no sound, isn't it? However, how powerful it is. Because in the world of adults, most of them are like-minded people.

As a result, the score of "The Pot Crafter" in my mind has been raised. It showed so much, so deep, so dark loneliness. And this kind of loneliness is reflected so indifferently, gracefully, and tossingly.
Smiley, played by Gary, tells Peter in the dim room. Smoking cigarettes, eyes drooping, and the voice intermittently, so lightly and carelessly. But we all know how badly he hurts. The woman named Ann has only an enchanting back in the movie, wearing a gorgeous long dress like tropical flowers, and red flowers on her hair like seaweed, burning gracefully like a fire. How different she is from Smiley's calmness. However, he loves her. As a result, this became his only weakness and was captured by the enemy.
He saw her kissing other people, bumping into her and struggling with others, and he was just looking at her sadly and restrained in the hustle and bustle of the banquet, without mentioning a word. The love rival was captured, and he actually asked like ordinary people, don't you have anything to say to Ann? As sensible as him, encountering love, as ordinary people, cannot be spared. Yes, Ann is my baby. You took her away, but you treat it like a shoe. How can it not hurt? Finally, he went home and saw that she was tired of the birds, staggering in the aisle, and then gently stepped forward and held her hand.
Those countless heartbroken and desperate times, those lonely times that were submissive but at ease, he remained silent. He just walked alone, raised his eyes, turned his head, and looked at the clock.

And Jim, poor Jim. In love with Bill, he was almost killed because of his informant, and was finally rescued by him. He knew everything, he knew it for a long time, but what could be done. He loves this man, even if he knows that there is no way ahead, he can only walk into the darkness with his eyes closed, drinking poison to quench his thirst. He lives incognito, but when he hears a similar name, dazzling flowers bloom on his face. It's this kind of involuntary body that makes people sad.
Finally, he personally killed his lover. Before he died, the time of looking at each other was very short, there was wind, and the falling leaves were floating, and Jim's eyes were full of tears. It seemed that it was only a second or two, and there was a mole on the corner of Bill's eye. Then he fell slowly. Jim put away the gun and left. If you don't want to suffer, let me see you off. There is no dialogue, no explanation. The deepest pain is often silent. He walked quietly, and time slipped by quietly. Here, sometimes my life just passes by like this.

There is also Peter, and Richy, and the people in the movie with cold faces or vague faces. They are engaged in work where there is no light in the cold country. Everyone hides the undercurrents in their hearts, calmly lonely in time. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, forbearance will pass. You have to get used to it and enjoy it. It is this indifferent determination that allows each character to exude charm leisurely.

Love, loneliness, pain...No one will be spared. But you see, some people can bear it very well, very beautiful, and very safe. This is a rare quality, and it is also hidden in the British style. Their interpretation of "the more beautiful the more untouchable" is especially perfect. Efforts are also useless, it is better to spread your hands and seek peace with life.

Long years, thin clothes, this is a realm. When you forget your desire, you will understand it naturally. Just like we have learned English for so many years, how much time do you really have to meet a foreigner to talk to? However, this is another beautiful language in the world, just like many people and things that we encounter accidentally in this world, it is enough to be able to meet and understand.

Look, we saw a meaningful movie because of this, how good it is.
Come, let us all sit down, have a cup of tea, look at the clock, and add some clothes.

    Perfect atmosphere ah ah ah

    Due to the time limit, the dramatic conflict between Jim Predo and the little boy Bill weakened. Although two hours are short and not long, there is basically no climax. The audience is required to pay attention to details, and it is slightly difficult for the audience to be nervous at all times without reading the original. The soundtrack does not arouse much emotional fluctuations, in other words Dull. The two narrative lines are parallel but still unable to explain all the problems, the actors perform well, and in the end Haydn's death is still filmed very fundamentally.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quotes

  • [last lines]

    Bill Roach: I made this for you, sir.

    Jim Prideaux: I don't want you hanging around here anymore. Keep away from me from now on. Go and join the others.

    Bill Roach: But...

    Jim Prideaux: Just bloody join in, will you?

    Jim Prideaux: Go and play! Damn you!

  • Minister: I thought Lacon had made it clear to you: keep your nose bloody well out of Witchcraft's business!

    George Smiley: It's Lacon's advice I'm following.

    [to Lacon]

    George Smiley: You told me to follow in Control's footsteps.

    Minister: I wouldn't consider that sound advice, given the mess Control left us with. It has taken Alleline - and if I may say so, myself - this long to get us back in the game.

    George Smiley: The man Alleline and the others meet is called Polyakov. You believe his role is to bring information from Witchcraft to you. His real role is to receive information from the mole, to take back to Karla.

    Minister: [laughing incredulously] That... that's not possible.

    George Smiley: Made possible, by you, in the house which you persuaded the Treasury to pay for.

    Minister: Witchcraft's intelligence is genuine! It's been gold!

    George Smiley: It's just enough glitter amongst the chickenfeed. Control didn't believe in miracles, and he didn't believe in Witchcraft. But you were lazy, and you were greedy, and so you hounded him out of the Circus and you let Karla in. You've opened negotiations to exchange intelligence with the Americans...

    [Realizing the implications of what Smiley is saying, the Minister starts to tremble]

    George Smiley: What they tell the Circus, they'll be telling the Kremlin. Witchcraft's information, the "gold" Karla let you have, it wasn't to lure you. It was to lure the Americans. Now... do you want to take credit for that?
