Rong Jinzhen showed a unique talent
Narrative
In the 1940s, the world was turbulent and it was important to crack the enemy’s communication codes in a timely and accurate manner. It got noticed by a few people because it happened to solve a difficult problem..
The movie is really long2 hours and 40 minutes in total
when I went in I thought I was going to fall asleep and miss a few scenes, but the story actually kept me awake. Look at this movie as what Oppenheimer SHOULD have been…
Oppenheimer is so long-winded, boring, slow and too politically correct
This movie hits the sweet spot between smart/intelligent vs. storytelling/fiction.
If you don’t know much about the war in China, you will learn a lot about it
The flow of the plot is just very well thought out and keeps a consistent rhythm, but the content is interesting without trying to portray political correctness while the story mostly stays true to the past in China. If you already know what happened, you will see it from a different but very realistic perspective.
We highly recommend
John Cusack played in a film absolutely worthy of an Oscar.
