The other is how far Justin will go in his investigation. One of the film’s mysteries is the truth of the corruption Tessa was about to discover.
In much of the film, Justin is a portrait of uncertainty. On a broader thematic level, gardeners never stop digging, and after Tessa’s murder, Justin digs endlessly for the truth. We see Justin gardening as a hobby, offering gentle but diligent attention to his plants. The title refers to Justin’s determination to grow things, literally and figuratively. The film is based on a novel by John le Carre and brought to the screen by director Fernando Meirelles. The progressive story spans multiple countries and continents as Justin works to unearth Tessa’s past, and find the motivation for her brutal murder. Instead of retreating, he begins investigating her death only to uncover Tessa was quietly exploring an international conspiracy involving multinational profiteering pharmaceutical companies and the British government, which impacts the lives of millions. When Tessa is murdered, suspicion is naturally thrown on the shy and reserved Justin. There, she becomes involved in humanitarian work. Justin falls prey to Tessa’s natural seduction, and upon Justin’s occupational assignment to Kenya, marries him and follows him on the journey. The two are complete opposites in spirit but complement one another. Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz) is a political activist and wife to Justin (Ralph Feinnes), a calm and mild diplomat living a comfortable life. It is an unusual combination of character focus, political issues, and scenery, telling a love story against a portrait of third world exploitation. The Constant Gardener (2005) is billed as a romance story and an espionage thriller.
