Ordinary 007

Smiley's world is far deeper and more complicated than James Bond's.

Smiley's appearance is not conspicuous, almost the opposite of Bond's glamorous appearance:

He is wearing a plain windbreaker or suit, lined with an old woolen sweater, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The description in the book is short and fat, wearing inappropriate clothes.

It is said to be a reference to Vivian HH Green (Vivian HH Green), the dean of Lincoln College at Oxford University where Le Cahey had studied.

Unlike the beautiful women in the Bond films, who are merciless and unkind, Smalley has ordinary daily life and social relationships. Not only does he have to face the bills and deal with the affair between his wife and his friend Bill Haydn, but also must solve the espionage. Complex problems of work.

Different from Bond movies, the distinction between good and evil is clear, and the ideological differences have been evened out here.

The opening uses a large number of long shots to outline the dark and surging texture of the British intelligence agency "Circuit" (named after Le Kahei based on the location of the MI6 fictional intelligence agency Cambridge Circuit)-those that seem quiet and slow at first glance, step by step , In fact, the people in the city are extremely deep.

And the Soviet spy chief Kara led just another bureaucracy.

All of this is nothing but a conspiracy and a game of power planned for the value of nothingness.

So each of the main characters is tragic: the boss, Smiley, Mole, and Jamie, who finally "made a difficult decision", are even more tragic figures who have revenge after being betrayed.

    temperament! The key is temperament! British temperament is too charming, Cambridge Circus is too mysterious! Putting aside the suspense and tension like a throat, the calm and feeling of the movie is very beautiful. In particular, a bunch of moldy and old British male actors joined the group, all dressed in old fashioned clothes and tasted Chen Yun. Oldman pierced the needle, Colin Firth was arrogant and chic, Hardy was blond and melancholy, and BC also played gay. They were really bright spots, and the actor alone added one star.

    The music, setting, atmosphere and Gary Oldman's acting skills are almost impeccable. But before the end, I have been waiting for the moment when the latent text that I waited like before the conversation is over gradually accumulates and finally breaks out and blooms independently of the surface narrative. The result was no. Instead, it was superfluous in the last ten seconds. Regret.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quotes

  • Oliver Lacon: The treasurer can't understand why can't the intelligence service simply put in a request for a general increase in funding and then you'll account for the spend on your special operation?

    Percy Alleline: Operation 'Witchcraft' needs to remain a secret; it's a fiefdom of its own.

    Oliver Lacon: Yes, that's what's winding us; whole thing's very unaccountable isn't it? This London house that no one knows the address of, is that really necessary?

    Percy Alleline: Now more than ever, we need to protect our Soviet source.

    Roy Bland: [lights a cigarette] So where do you propose we meet, in a café?

    Oliver Lacon: The rent and rates on this house have... doubled.

    Roy Bland: We spent millions on nuclear warheads, we're asking for a few thousand for a house. I wonder if Karla has the same problem with the treasury at the Kremlin.

    Oliver Lacon: Look, nobody underestimates the importance of the jobs you chaps are doing.What happened in Budapest last year... That was a disaster.

    Roy Bland: With respect, sir, that wasn't one of your civil servants that got killed, was it? Now this isn't about soldiers in trenches anymore. We're the front line now...

    Oliver Lacon: Roy...

    Roy Bland: For 25 years we've been the only ones standing between them and Karla and Moscow and the Third bloody World War!

    Oliver Lacon: Look, the minister is very pleased with your progress so far. He's less pleased though, with our progress with our American cousins. You see, in their eyes... You're still a leaky ship.

  • Control: Trust no one, Jim. Especially not in the mainstream. Sit down. I understand you still have one Hungarian identity running.

    Jim Prideaux: I do.

    Control: I want you to go to Budapest. This is not above board. Nobody else knows. They're after my head, Jim-boy. You understand? I have had an offer of service. A Hungarian general wants to come over. I would like you to meet him. He has some information that I need, Jim.

    Jim Prideaux: What information?

    Control: Treasure. He has the name of the mole the Russians have planted in the British intelligence service, right at the top of the Circus. There's a rotten apple, Jim. We have to find it.
