Being a Spielberg fan, I rushed to watch Bridge of Spies on the day of its release. Alas, all the seats were taken barring the first row. I complained, the manager apologized and compensated by letting me see Martian in 3D. Sealed the deal. Btw, Martian is a great watch too. The rigors of life and the mundane everyday chores kept me from watching Bridge of Spies for another couple of weeks and finally I got to see it and how! I got the whole theatre to myself (not that I like it that way. Feels freaky).
Bridge of Spies is classy. The issue Spielberg chose to cover in the film is exceptional. The idea of an American lawyer defending a Russian spy is laughable and would seem ridiculous but the premise is that everyone has a right to defend themselves. Justice for all. Even a spy gets a lawyer to defend him. Like Tom Hanks says in the film" I am an Irish and you are from Germany. What defines us as American? It's a rule book we call the Constitution." It's a great watch specially this election season when some candidates are ranting things that are un-American.
