A brilliant historical movie by Spielberg.....

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2016)

Steven Spielberg is among the few legendary film makers who have made their prominence for the versatility in the subjects they bring through their films. On one hand, Spielberg had made a touching children drama "E.T THe Extra Terristrial" and on the other side gave "Schindler's List" documenting history, making it appear larger than life. His versatility continues even today with a touching movie like "War Horse" based on the children's novel or a historical movie like "Bridge of Spies." May that be 'Empire of the Sun," "Saving Private Ryan," or "Jurassic Park," he always had the clarity in story telling and with "Bridge of Spies" it seems he is still unbeatable in terms of story telling.
"Bridge of Spies," as has been narrated, is said to be inspired by true events depicting the cold war of 60s between the United States and the Soviet, during which an American attorney opts to negotiate an exchange between a Soviet Spy and an American pilot and a student. In a way, the film retells a segment of history which we haven't read yet. Whatever the film shows come very strongly and just touches you. An attorney who receives hate from the Americans becomes a negotiator for the US president explains a lot of our central character. in the role, Tom Hanks as usual gives a tremendous performance, which sadly went not nominated this time at the Oscars. But a face that catches your attention the most is Mark Rylance as a Soviet Spy, who won an Oscar for his performance. Even with the minimal dialogues he was given, he makes a prominent presence in the film, for which he deserved the award.
Overall, just watch this film to know a part of history, or feel the extraordinary power of Spielberg's story telling, or simply if you're an admirer of Tom Hank's brilliant performance.
