The main theme does not necessarily equal political propaganda

Of course, the judicial spirit and humanitarianism mentioned in the movie are the output of very common American values. After all, these main creators have always been most influenced by these values.

But the story of Bridge of Spies is valuable in one place. The one who upholds these values ​​is Donovan. This also determines that Bridge of Spies is not a film with political propaganda significance, but personal heroism has become endearing. For the rest, the justices don't care about the precedents, the CIA doesn't want to rescue college students in this country at all, and the people look sideways at a dutiful lawyer and even shoot his family. A state agency with such an image would not be broadcast in some places. A country's ideals and values ​​that it has always adhered to are rarely upheld in the face of interests. Obviously, such films cannot be used as political propaganda.

    Spielberg has shot too many themes of "Lincoln", "War Horse", and "Spy Bridge" in recent years. He has become more and more like Chinese Han Sanping, and Hanks has accompanied him more and more like Tang Guoqiang.

    There are really no surprises. . . The script level is much worse than Lincoln, the story itself does not have much to be interesting, and the core value conveyed is also very simple, unlike Lincoln, which has rich connotation and humanity in addition to the American theme. Photography is the most prominent place. Kaminsky used film to take photos in the 1950s with a certain sense of mystery, and the use of light is very elegant. Spielberg's dispatch is also licensed.
