Starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, The Quiet American is already gaining incredible buzz -- including a Golden Globe nomination for Caine (Best Actor, Drama). This enchanting film is directed by Phillip Noyce (Rabbit-Proof Fence; The Bone Collector; Clear and Present Danger) and is adapted from one of Graham Greene’s best-loved novels. Into the intrigue and violence of Indo-China comes Pyle, a young idealistic American sent to promote democracy through a mysterious “Third Force.” As his naïve optimism starts to cause bloodshed, his friend Fowler, a cynical foreign correspondent, finds it hard to stand aside and watch. But even as he intervenes he wonders why: for the sake of politics, or for love.

Graham Greene (October 2, 1904 Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire – April 3, 1991 Vevey, Switzerland) was a prolific English novelist, playwright, short story writer and critic whose works explore the ambiguities of modern man in a contemporary setting. Some of his best works, like Brighton Rock and The Power and the Glory, are explicitly Roman Catholic in content and preoccupations. Others he termed "entertainments", although many of them likewise deal with ambivalent moral or political issues which had earned him a worldwide readership and following.

其实他只是想讲，战争中，你不可能没有立场。但是一旦选择了立场，就意味着牺牲与死亡。什么爱情什么金钱，全都是虚的

3.5 感觉全书都是代表英国的男主说"done that, been there", 吐槽美国人的乐观和“正义感”带来的伤害，以及殖民最终的虚无；男主是有heart的悲观清醒但懦弱的酒鬼男主这种archetype的原型吧，虽然俗但真的让人喜欢；全书对于美国强行要给越南搞民主的批判很深刻了，为了民主值得让那么多人死嘛，美国真的把越南人当人看嘛，还是只把他们当作可以"教化”的孩子；男主和“安静的美国人... 3.5 感觉全书都是代表英国的男主说"done that, been there", 吐槽美国人的乐观和“正义感”带来的伤害，以及殖民最终的虚无；男主是有heart的悲观清醒但懦弱的酒鬼男主这种archetype的原型吧，虽然俗但真的让人喜欢；全书对于美国强行要给越南搞民主的批判很深刻了，为了民主值得让那么多人死嘛，美国真的把越南人当人看嘛，还是只把他们当作可以"教化”的孩子；男主和“安静的美国人”Pyle感觉也是有过情谊的，但是男主最终懦弱背叛了他，感觉最后只有一声叹息...

还行，写的挺好，题材和主题本身没太大意思。
