Bridge of Spies is
the best film from the past year. I
would like to personally apologize to Steven Spielberg for not going to see
this film in the theater, I finally saw it streaming a few weeks back. Spielberg tells a good story, a story that is
relevant today. Tom Hanks plays a man
who defies our preconceived notions of lawyers, principled, thoughtful and
patriotic. The standout performance is
by Mark Rylance as a captured Russian spy; his subtlety and the relationship
developed onscreen between him and the Hanks character was excellent.
*Full disclosure: I
just saw Mark Rylance win (deservedly so) for Best Supporting Actor.
