I remember the look at the Xmas party and thought it was out of place. So did Firth flip sides to help get Mark Strong out of the Russian's torture? The orignal Control implies that there's already a mole so if Strong was Firth's lover would the Russians really torture him? Did Firth tip off the Russians about Strong coming to get the General?

I went to see Tinker, Tailor... yesterday man the last 20 minutes are great but the rest....what a bore!!!!!!!! {nm} gogreenytd Jan 17, 09:19

I 100% agree. This was my kind of movie too and I just couldn't get into it. bloopster Jan 17, 09:53

I think it was the Script, it was just too complicated to follow, and the settings dint help either {nm} gogreenytd Jan 17, 10:12

I knew it... JMT-NL Jan 17, 09:56

had a few friends tell me the same. i loved it and oddly knew exactly what happened at the end (was asked to translate lobogotti Jan 17, 09:56

I'm with you!..seen it 3 times and going back for more....its a brilliant piece of movie-making. {nm} GLAMMGUY Jan 17, 10:15

indeed. I will say though that the film is not meant for wide release. could easily see it disappointing the masses. {nm} lobogotti Jan 17, 11:26

Too true, but none the less, an homage to the art of film making. {nm} GLAMMGUY Jan 17, 13:42

jack foley said it well and you guessed correctly. never read the book but plan to. {nm} lobogotti Jan 17, 11:20

Mostly only people weened on US action movie explication could say this masterpiece was boring, I guess.. {nm} Facto Jan 17, 13:43

I found The Lives of Others (spy/mole story set in Cold War Europe) to be 10x more interesting and captivating. bloopster Jan 17, 15:01

It's the best boring film I've seen since that goat-herder film. {nm} RufusS Jan 17, 09:59

But the 7:00+ long-take of the Easter procession from a high angle at the village intersection: a miraculous shot. (Link.) second gary Jan 17, 10:26
