Bridge of spies - "Would it help?" quote

[@nakynutymacatyknedlicek4416]

stoicism in a nutshell

Exactly

[@ADayInTime99]

This way of thinking is close to the Japanese concept of Shikata Ga Nai or Shouganai, absolutely legendary way of thinking, long live Mr. Abel and his philosophy! We've just publish a video on the topic if you would like to learn more.

[@brennanhuff48]

Excellent advice for anyone who has anxiety issues

[@bostonianful]

my friend, i have ocd, autism, intense anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and psychosis and...............yeah worrying doesn't help, but that doesn't stop you from worrying.

[@Slamazzar]

Because every simple advice, although already wise, needs elaboration and exemplification to be truly understood. "How to stop worrying and start living" is the instance here. Recommended with kind regards!

@@15Candles *helped him win. There’s a separate category for Directing and Writing. He won for ACTING and jurors know a film needs to have a director and script writer at the least.

[@15Candles]

@@aristotelpichay well yeah I mean, if he had a bad dialogue to work with great acting from him, he wouldn't have won the Oscar either. And the movie was super well made by Spielberg, everything he does in this movie is from Spielberg's orders. Spielberg direct his performance beautiful and the script he was given to work with was magnificent. Take both out, Rylance would've sucked in this movie

[@aristotelpichay]

@@15Candles agree on this. That’s why the script and directing just helped him win the oscar but not made him win it for ACTING category. Actors will act anything thrown at them be it from a bad script or not so great direction. The category was for ACTING alone...

There's always a good American willing to do the right thing to uphold our system of democracy, freedom and fairness. Just like John Adams did when he defended the British soldiers of the Boston Massacre. Everyone is entitled to a fair defense, or America does not exist.

[@halfaworldaway]

Wait... there are two different interpretations of this. "Would it help?" as in Abel asking Donovan; "would it help you for me to be alarmed?" Which is quite humorous. And "would it help?" as in Rudolph asking; "what use is it for me to be alarmed?" Which is more profound. I wonder if that's intentional.

[@barnaclebill1615]

The majority of American society aren’t prepared, ready nor capable of such brutal displays of realism as seen here.

When in few scenes you made quite an impact and out acted but also complimented Tom Hanks in a movie directed by Steven Spielberg, man, you deserve to win it all.

[@kazomazo6646]

I very much like thie quote and use it my self. Sometimes being worried would help keeping you motivated to change things, but l understand that it is very easy to slip into a higher dose of being worried that can have the opposite effect. I guess there should be a better way to deal with difficulties. If anyone have a suggestion l would like to hear it.

At first I thought that the script writers and/or Spielberg didn't know a Scottish accent when they heard one. Then I realised that the film writers wanted us (the viewers) to see how ignorant Americans were back then (and now it must be said) with regards to Scotland. Hear how Tom Hanks refers to Scotland as Northern England without even knowing how wrong he was.

[@williamwallace5857]

***** Fair enough. If the film is accurate then he must have got his Scottish accent from somewhere.

[@lucasmason3589]

[@reggiedixon2]

Oddly enough I heard the accent as a refined Geordie. Then I looked up Abel on Wikipedia, born in Newcastle.

[@CinemaDemocratica]

The master of the small moment played just right. One of my favourites is in Sully, when his co-pilot is going through the QRH for dual engine flameout and he reads, "Optimum relight speed, 230 knots. We don't have that." And Hanks says, "...No, we don't." Just perfectly under-delivered. Lots of other actors would have gripped the bridge of their noses and squinted and chuffed out all the air they had before they did that line. Hanks always knows when the big moments hit even harder if they're allowed to stand out on their own.

[@musicmanfelipe]

@@CinemaDemocratica And right after that when he asks his copilot if he has any other ideas, and the copilot says “actually, none,” Sully just shrugs.

[@akm_rpg_xakep]

@@gorzaryan а вы историю изучали ? Реальная история настоящая, а в фильме всё иначе и если хотите правды, то необязательно смаковать грязные подделки, про содержание любого фильма много обзоров, как и про добычу (бобра), про поиски портсигара, ванну для Кати, ... и так далее.

[@gorzaryan]

@@akm_rpg_xakep Я историю немного изучал по данному событию. Но Вы про художественные фильмы слышали? Это не документальный фильм, где всё должны показать как было/есть, это во первых. Во вторых в фильме показали что сделали с Фишером после того как он возвращался в СССР? Там просто в конце было написано что СССР не признал Абелем своим шпионом что и логично, тогда была холодная война и не одна сторона не хотел бы публично объявить о шпионе. Но это не как не отменяет или противоречит тому что его наградили медалями часть из них вообще скорее всего были секретными и говорили про них после много лет как только рассекретили дело. Продолжим тему «американских фильмов». В США Голливуд - это такое место которое не подчиняется не кому, они снимают всё что хотят и кстати многие фильмы против самих США. НО, этот фильм почти что гениальный по тому как хорошо играли актёры и как хорошо были показаны герои фильма. Если Вы не заметили то Абеля здесь показали героем(как и на самом деле было), который не предал свою страну и был гениальным шпионом. При этом Пауерс был молодым неопытным лётчиком, который побоялся убить себя что бы не попасться под руки СССР, что и было в реальности. И было показано адвокат, который безумно уважал Абелю который в свою очередь уважал Донавану. И кстати Абель и в реальности подарил ту картинку что было показано в фильме. В фильме показали как мастерство ЦРУ так и КГБ(когда посол в Германии на самом деле был агентом КГБ) Это был прекрасный фильм который показал напряженность холодной войны, Спилберг прям постарался.
