Why does the 2011 Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy movie end with this shot that makes it seem like Smiley masterminded the whole thing?

I don't even know what happened in this movie and I saw it.

This is where I live. I know I sat down and checked it out, of course I would look at the cast. But as for what it was about? I don't fucking remember spies and a gay guy or something.

The mole was the mole. Tinker was not tailor. Karla's lighter was the key to all this.

smiley is a miserable fuck

a Bergmanesque dream of a spy movie. that appears to suck.

fuck you i liked it

pretty poorly edited movie, but the ending sequence with that song is kino.
I don't know how anyone is supposed to have understood what was happening unless they were familiar with the books.

No, the shot was supposed to mean this:
> everyone at the Circus knew they weren't supposed to talk about anything
> they also saw how badly the new crowd had screwed things up
> then Smiley, Mr Reliable, was brought in to clean house, and he took out all of the numbskulls who were screwing it up
> even though they can't talk about it, they're all still glad that Smiley is back, and is now in charge
> that's why everyone gives him those genuine smiles

Great film by the way. So was the original, so was the book

Did you even watch the film? Smiley's career was on the ropes when the film begins and by the end he's not only redeemed his reputation but also found the mole and gotten promoted to head of the circus

Because you're retarded?

I also liked the scene at the Christmas party, where Santa is dressed in a Lenin mask and they all sing the Soviet national anthem

I just realized I was getting this confused with Slow Horses. I watched Slow Horses and was expecting a fairly dry spy drama and instead got UK Reacher. Now I understand that I was picturing Oldman in this when I downloaded Slow Horses.

Great movie but Smiley should've shot his cheating whore wife in the head and blamed it on Karla

I thought it was more it was "How George Smiley became the new Control of the Circus".
the books go further with his new role eventually leading to the fall of his nemesis

It’s ironic. He’s been given this amazing promotion and he’s finally at the head of the table, a position that would have greatly expedited his arduous investigation taken during the events of the movie.

But it’s a sham! He’s learned that all of his coworkers, now underlings, were fools whose very foolishness was used specifically to carry out the evil plan! Control, who Smiley was quite fond of, died directly due to the stress of the plot. And he’s lost a great friend and colleague in Bill Haydon. The Circus is actually in a much worse state than the beginning of the movie and he’s no closer to fixing its issues.

I always thought Karla had Bill Haydon screw Smiley's wife because he knew that's what his vulnerability was during their tête-à-tête interrogation and the lighter (it has her name on it)

There's a BBC miniseries about this story and also the follow-up, Smiley's People, where you actually get to meet Karla. It's fucking great, the movie was highly entertaining but the miniseries is 10/10 spy kino. Stars Alec Guinness as Smiley. Go watch them both right now

The Circuis us based on the real world incompetence of British intelligence during the cold War. The retards had a soviet spy they never found for decades and when they finally caught hin they simply gave him a slap on the wrist.

>>213779640
He did but that doesn't negate the slut's culpability

>>213778052 (OP)
this is the most boringest shit i have ever watched. took me a whole month to finish it.

>>213779723
More like you had no idea what was going on because you're a stupid person

what's the point of shit like this? just leave it out.
