I'm always slightly lost when people use movies as a reference when talking about espionage because I even as entertainment pretty much all I consume is non-fiction. When I did eventually consume some le Carre (RIP) I think I enjoyed it much more than I would've done because I understood why he decided to write and the parallels he drew.
