Tinker Tailor

[deelaundry]

Just saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It was an interesting film, although who knew British spies cried that much? Benedict Cumberbatch seemed to be trying valiantly to keep up with Gary Oldman -- which fit his character Peter well, so a good match. Mr. L pointed out how happy Martin Freeman would be with Peter's style choices.

What else?

- Tom Hardy needs to not ever have that color hair again.
- From now on, Mr. L is going to use the word "underfucked" way too much for my liking, I can tell.
- Apparently they cut a lot out of the story to get the film time down to two hours. That was a good choice.
- I did like the movie, but it confirmed that Le Carre's storytelling is just not for me. I don't feel the same excitement that he apparently feels for these types of events.

The book follows the same story, and tells it quite a bit differently - you might like it in prose more than film.
