Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a 1974 British spy novel by John le Carré, featuring George Smiley.The world of "The Circus" Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is cloudy and dark. This could be because "The Circus", here is a code name for the highest levels of British intelligence.
Based on the novel by John Le Carré, set in 1973, when Russia was always the greatest enemy of the West, follow the labyrinthine plot of the agent, as the leak in their organization, the operator of high-level who give their secrets to the Russians trying to find. The film turns to George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a former officer recalled to active duty to control, service manager (John Hurt), the mole is that he believes one of the best agents in the service. Control is satisfied that the smiley taupe or other agents of elite - Bill Haydon (Colin Firth), Percy Alleline (Toby Jones), Roy Bland (Cieran Hinds) or Esterhase Toby (David Dencik).
While hunting is an agent that killed and murder, the firing of Smiley and LED control.
Much of the story through flashbacks to a Christmas party, told the location of the circus.
This is the film to tease us with bits of information and character, and end all is revealed. As Smiley, Gary Oldman is great.
To play a character who became known in a presentation by Alec Guinness and remember well the fans of the original, Oldman still manages to make the character himself. The plot is convoluted, story anti-James Bond, if all the reasons for what happened, never left the hands or delete them.
But it is fascinating. Director Tomas Alfredson and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema keep dark, mysterious and difficult. The Cold War is over, this time more.
So yes, the world is inhabited by Smiley and the other in the circus. This is to make the film more than a rather quaint past. Although much of the authenticity of temperature of the film by the fact that the Square, a British spy whose cover had been sent by the renowned Cambridge graduate Kim Philby, British intelligence officer, the secrets to the Russians, then ran blown to Russia even after he 'd been an order of the British Empire (OBE) awarded by the Queen.
