Tailor of panama tells the story of British spy Andy (pierce brosnan) being exiled to Panama. However, he is unwilling to be lonely, and wants to focus on the Panama Canal to do enough articles and seek a generous pension for himself. He took a fancy to Harry (geoffrey rush), a tailor who was born in London and is very popular in Panamanian society, and collected information for him. Harry fabricated false information about the Panama Canal and sold it to China or Japanese for his family (threatened) and friends (decadent revolutionaries). So the world was in chaos, and Britain asked the United States for sponsorship funds to sponsor the Panamanian rebels, providing an excuse for the United States to invade Panama on the grounds that South American security and national security were threatened. The situation suddenly became tense, and all this just came from the tailor's fabrication and the fantasy of a dead spy.

In fact, such a movie should be very interesting, including several fierce conflicts and intrigues, but the audience knows that their stupid argument is based on an untenable lie, so the audience can stay out of it and watch them jump up and down like clowns.

However, the shooting was relatively loose, and the film did not focus on the interests between several aspects, but wasted a lot of ink to show the acting skills of the two leading actors, the charm of pierce brosnan, the passive Nuo Nuo of geoffrey rush and his warm side. The hidden signs of the escalation of the war crisis are completely invisible, and the seriousness of the crisis can't be felt until the last 10 minute of the film. The director wasted a lot of time making movies. The film's director, john bull Boorman, is 68 years old and seems unable to grasp the rhythm of the whole film.

In the first half of the film, the aerial photography of the Panama Canal, the beautiful scenery of South America, exotic mean streets, including brothels known as hotels, and South American women with excellent figures all attracted the audience's attention. However, in the second half of the film, there are some jumps in the plot. We can't know whether the spy successfully seduced the tailor's wife (Jamie Lee Curtis, an official of the Canal Bureau), and we can't accept Mickey (a friend of the tailor, a fabricated silent rebel). We still don't know why the U.S. military invaded brazenly. The Panamanian president can beat back the enemy with a phone call (to the American president). What we can't figure out most is what the film is trying to tell us when the spy left Panama with150 thousand and the tailor returned to normal life.

It's just that we also know that at the other end of the film, the tailor killed the spy and brought 65.438+0.5 million to the fabricated silent rebel. After returning to normal life. So tailor of panama is only 50%, and the other 50% is beyond the power of film directors.
