Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Theapplegnome — 15 Jan 2016
’Bridge of Spies’ illustrates how emotions, in a realistic way, can overrun basic moral & human rights. It’s much more than a drama. It got a nuanced story where both characters & nations are told from different perspectives.
It might even be one of Spielberg’s finest -- and it got a clever way of presenting the never ending theme of morality. Basic values of human life(s) & the everlasting stagnation of war through ”growing walls rather than people”, are present traits of Spielberg.
Tom Hanks continues to outperform, he delivers a very relatable James Donovan. He could have had more maturing, & it’s not a film for the drama-hater, but there isn’t that much more to criticize about.
Well written dialogs are on the other hand shockingly character fitting, & the metaphoric images throughout the film only strengthens Spielberg’s position among today’s filmmakers.
