being a faggot is kind if like being a spy. do you have a favorite spy movie? the tinker tailor soldier spy tv show is on youtube
>>42213775I love stealth. It's the idea of outsmarting greater odds with your brain. I relate to being alone in the dark. I love spies. I love playing pretend. I love tricking people. I love the idea of an intelligence agency. I like using brains. I like the idea of doing selfless work for no recognition. I love lies and deception. They're an indicator of our sentience and our individuality. Lies are a lot of fun, but they're powerful, like guns. Great in games, to be used with great care in real life. I love Tinker Tailor, JFK, and The Good Shepherd too. I can't think of many spy movies I really love though. I liked The Report. I love Pinocchio! I've archived a bunch of CIA and military manuals and documents.
>>42213775Im trans, but i lived boymode for long enough to know best spy movie: Ronin with Robert Deniro.Close second: the Bourne movies.
Oh, right, I saw Female Agents too. Pretty good.

>>42213775my mom loves john le carre (the writer of tinker tailor soldier spy), we watched the 80s or 90s short british tv drama version of smiley's people, but of course the book is better, i haven't read it though homeland is also a really good intelligence/spy related show. >>42214053the bourne movies are so good and rewatchable, I've seen them a million times since i was a kid lol the way it's shot on film and soundtrack is really really good too. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Vni7EmOWxuw&si=EiJJX7TAd7H5hpzV also op and anyone else you may like death note (the manga is 1000x better than the anime because of the artstyle) because it also has the constant cat and mouse mental gymnastics of spy stories even though it's not exactly about intelligence stuff.
>>42217035also cant find which track in the soundtrack it is but the music in this scene is so good https://youtu.be/uLt7lXDCHQ0?si=nlSpRrarLwiECYep
>>42213775The Bureau (modern-day french spy show) is p good but very long. It's got matthieu kassovitz in it :)
>>42217035i want to be her so fucking bad
>>42217035> ay it's shot on film and soundtrack is really really good too. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Vni7EmOWxuw&si=EiJJX7TAd7H5hpzV [Open]> john powellI got into soundtracks back when venture brothers still aired (im still sad they ended). But something about them made me really respect sound track makers. This bourne album is dope!

>>42213775smiley's ppl is p okay, I think one one the better spy books I read was the autobiographical 'circle of treason' but I doubt there will ever be a good show or moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYNlJlKt3NY
>>42217052>>42217035Overlapping theme for my picks of best spy movies was realism. Both ronin and bourne movies have alot of realism in them. Ronin was basically a quiet disclosure of a real spy, fictionalizing side quests. Bourne is similar but more silence of the lambs style of fictionalization, where like hannibal lecture, bourne is a medley/amalgamation/combination of real CIA, military and covert programs and people. Also that scene where he is jumping through windows, was done with a real stun man actually jump from real buildings, not CGI, not AI.
>>42217867i like this pic, who is "her" in your sentence tho >>42218048i always loved soundtracks, most of the music i listen to is soundtracks from vns and 80s-90s anime (record of lodoss war, vampire princess miyu) or visual novels. this is one of the prettiest sounding songs I've ever heard from any soundtrack: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AyV1fbKWWkc&si=N5k_bZxFC6Q0Ew7W >>42218113if you like realism you would really like homeland, i really enjoyed how well it was written. the main character has bipolar disorder but some of it helps her in her spy/intelligence career because it causes her to be more prone to pattern recognition or something, i noticed the same thing with my ocd but it quickly spiraled out of control into thinking everything is a "sign" and forgetting to ever think for myself
>>42213775I like this one and Smiley's People, but, having sampled some of his other works, these two seem to be his best... even the Honorable Schoolboy didn't add much
