Original research?

[edit]

At the same time, Johnny has an encounter with his political activist neighbor Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz). As they grow to know each other (which includes Johnny sharing his love of traditional Jazz and showing Nancy a video of The Sound of Jazz, while explaining a bit of the relationship between Lester Young and Billie Holiday), they appear to create two subtly handled relationships which appear to be paradoxical. One relationship is the suspected/expected story of a woman motivated by seeking justice for her brother - a protester who was, cold-bloodedly, killed by the Israeli army - by using an MI5 agent which is overtly discussed throughout the drama by several characters, such as Johnny's trusted associate, named Rollo. The second relationship, which is conducted simultaneously yet not overtly discussed, is one of radical honesty and love between Johnny and Nancy even about the nature of their possibly staged relationship. Through skillful dialogue whether one or both the relationships are the truth, is left for the eavesdroppers within the story to determine: the government via Tankard listening in; and is not clear to viewers.

There's some serious original research going on here. I'm not sure I got this interpretation from watching it, and it's not in reviews or anything I've since read. Surely this needs either to be sourced or excised? 94.194.151.219 (talk) 20:50, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Constant Gardener

[edit]

Is it worth mentioning in the text that Fiennes, Weisz, and Nighy had previously worked together on the award-winning political thriller The Constant Gardener? Grutness...wha? 06:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
