My wife picked up Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy for the second time at the local 'brary. We didn't watch it the first time. I doubt we watch it this time either.

You should, though, it's a good movie.Originally Posted by Applejack

It is. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the book.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
I've heard it's hard to follow if you haven't read the book.
that scene at the very end with the medical person is one of the most impressive things I've seen on camera. ever.
My daughter and I were both moved to tears in that scene. He pulled us in.
I heard on a podcast "Anatomy of a Movie", that the medical person was a real Navy medical person. Not an actor. And she was directed to just do what she does when treating the wounded.
That's exactly why he gets paid a ton of money to something very few can do.
I also liked Cap. Phillips. A little intense for my wife, though.
We also just picked up Dallas Buyer's Club (at Redbox, not the 'brary. Sorry). It was pretty good, if a little too Hollywood. But Leto and my-boy-McConaughey were excellent.
