Setup: Last Saturday, my partner (Abdulellah) and I went to ARCLIGHT Cinemas, located at Culver City, to see this movie. Back to the A.D. 1975, the height time of Cold War, people were so sensitive that they didn’t trust each other. Especially, when FBI captured the Saliva spy - Rudolf Abel, people would like to see this guy died. But James B. Donovan (acted by Tom Hank), as Abel’s defense lawyer, suggested the Judge not to do this. “It is possible,” Donovan said in court, “that in the foreseeable future an American of equivalent rank will be captured by Soviet Russia or an ally; at such time an exchange of prisoners through diplomatic channels could be considered to be in the best national interests of the United States.” YAP! Donovan was right! In few days later, the American Pilot - Francis Gary Powers – was shoot by the Saliva Russia while he was on his duty capturing the information of Russia with his U2 spy plane. James B. Donovan had no choice but to intervene the unofficial negation task: SWAPING two spies. This is the most brilliant part to see how Donovan negotiated with Russia ambassador and East Berlin lawyer. Let’s go to see this movie!!!
Opinion: When Rudolf Abel gave the word - standing man- to James B. Donovan, I was shocked. Standing man is the person who has his belief. For James B. Donovan, the only interest is the law. Everyone deserves his/her right. This movie inspires me to stand up my faith. For me, I am thinking of creating new technology to help people on automatic vehicle. I do really love this movie. Hope you enjoy watching this movie!!
