背景资料："The film is based on the 2014 novel Red Joan, by author Jennie Rooney, which itself is a fictionalized account of Melita Norwood, a young woman whose work for the KGB wasn't discovered until decades later." “Melita Stedman Norwood was a British communist, civil servant, and KGB intelligence source. She is most famous for supplying the Soviet Union (USSR) with state secrets concerning the development of atomic weapons from her job at the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association, where she worked for 40 years。”
她被挖出来之后对自己的辩解是她做这事的目的是为了苏联和西方的平衡，为了和平，不想日本被炸的惨剧重演，后来几十年冷战中核武器没有被再使用过证明她是对的。她没有从前苏联收受过报酬和其它好处。
电影中和两个男人的爱情故事是编的，不是真实的。
我觉得她的行为绝对够得上traitor, 但客观上确实起到的制衡的作用。
