I enjoyed this new film at Austin Hall of Harvard Law School. After the screening, the protagonist’s granddaughter also chatted with two law school teachers about the background. Some archives of the time were displayed on both sides of the screening hall. Americans regard such films as American Values ​​are viewed as educational films. The prisoner exchange was successful, and when the music sounded at the end of the film, I did feel a kind of brilliance of humanity. The success of the spy exchange was not only a game of interests behind the war between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but also a kind of universal value. identify. The reason why a lawyer and a consul can do these things is not unrelated to his selfless fearlessness and firm confidence. The process of building the Berlin Wall and the various deaths around the wall in the film are all telling of an era that will never return. Later, people must learn lessons before they can truly move towards civilization.
