Do spies in real life and spies in movies need to be so handsome?

Speaking of spies, people must immediately think of Sun's role in Latent, or an agent who can take his time in the rain of bullets and steal very important confidential documents for the country, just like many American dramas. But you can't believe all TV dramas and movies. Real spies are not like those in movies.

I think in real life, the choice of spies is generally the kind that looks mediocre, that is, the kind that can't be found in the crowd, because the tasks performed by spies are very dangerous. If it is very easy to remember, it can be seen at a glance in the crowd, which is unfavorable for carrying out the task. Everyone thinks spies are particularly handsome when watching the drama, but the reality is that others are standing in front of you and you may not find them.

Because of the particularity of espionage, once caught, it will bring great influence and loss to the country, so every country will not choose spies who look particularly outstanding, and the handsome ones are naturally not selected. So spies in real life are not only not handsome, but may even be the opposite. Although spies in real life are not as handsome as those in film and television works, after all, spies need to risk their lives for the country and the people, not a beauty contest.

After all, TV plays and movies are just for entertainment, so we can't take them too seriously. But as far as danger is concerned, the situation of real spies may be even more dangerous than that in movies. But it is precisely because of these unsung heroes in the underground front that we have a happy life now. Therefore, I think many film and television works should pay more attention to reality in the process of shooting, rather than making a good theme into a drama to cater to the audience's taste.
