国と政府と国民と一個人は同じではないっていう話。
何よりベネディクト・カンバーバッチの役作りと演技力。あそこまで痩せて役作りしたなら、もっと序盤でその姿を見せたい筈なのにラスト20分くらいに見せるという構成もインパクトがあって素晴らしかった。
レイチェル・ブロズナハンのCIA職員の説得する時のセリフも良かった。
Helen: Greville, listen. The four-minute warning, it won’t do you any good.
Greville Wynne: What?
Helen: The four-minute warning before a Soviet nuclear missile hits the UK.
Greville Wynne: No, I know what that… what are you talking about? That… that’s what this has all been about? Nuclear war? Come on.
Helen: See, here’s the problem for you. Your house is a 12-minute drive from your office, ten minutes if you really push, right? And you’re usually out on a sales call anyway, so you’re not getting back to Sheila in time. And Andrew’s school, that’s nine minutes from your house, 15 from your office, and no one’s getting to him either. He’ll get herded into the school basement. I looked up the building plans. That’s a sorry excuse for a fallout shelter. Same with your basement, actually. Only the government has decent shelters. What do you do? Hmm? You can spend those four minutes trying to get Sheila on the phone but you won’t be able to get through. Or you can think about how you might have helped stop this from happening… but you didn’t. And then, that’s it.
Oleg Penkovsky: Greville, I thought I could make the world a safer place. But I failed. All this, betraying my country, my people, was for nothing.
Greville Wynne: Alex... of course I forgive you. I have to look after my family too. Easier now there's not going to be a nuclear war. Because Khrushchev withdrew his missiles. Because of you. You did it. You did it, Alex. You! You did it. Because of you, Alex! You did it!
