Post The Best Spy/Espionage Flicks

The movie can be hard to follow if your not used to the terminology used and so on. The miniseries is great and lets you follow the plot better, but it has more runtime.

>Legitimate question, am I fucking retarded that I didn't understand what was going on in this movie? It's literally the only film I've ever finished, then had to look up the plot summary to get I actually just saw happen. Should I just stick to capeshit
The narrative structure of this movie is a fucking train wreck. The acting is great, but that doesn't make this movie "good" enough to watch twice.

I could barely finish it and only stuck with it because of its reputation.

One of hte most underrated is tailor of Panama.

No, it a bit of a mess if you never read it.

But the plot is actually simple once you get though that it told horribly.

George Smiley is a old school British Intelligence officer. He was the right hand man of "Control" which was the office name of the head of the British inteligence (The Circus)

Control sends Jim Prideaux behind the iron curtain since Control knows one of his top officers is a spy for the soviets. (thus the whole tinker tailor soldier spy as he gives each of the men a codename to be called back.)

Jim Prideaux is betrayed and shot, and presumed dead. Control has to resign since it a huge scandal and George is retired with him. Control dies of cancer.

However
1) Jim Prideaux is still alive. He now teaches french since he not officially alive as a cover.
2. Someone high up in the government figures out that there is a mole, and brings back george to find him

George does spywork (real spywork, not the stuff you see in movies) and sets a trap to find the mole, and it is there old friend Bill Haydon (who is fucking George wife, and most likley had a relationship with Jim.

George returns as the head of intelligence, and Jim kills Bill for his deeds before he can be traded for a British spy the Soviets have.

The whole ricky Tarr stuff is how they figure out what going on.
