-Wallace: Would you regret revealing the truth? -Wigand: Sometimes I wish I didn't stand up, but sometimes I felt obligated. If you ask me, would you do it again, is it worth it? I think it's worth it. —— The truth sometimes requires a huge price. Faced with various complex problems or even threatening lives, how many people are willing to take risks and be able to come forward? Even if you speak up bravely, it doesn't mean you will be publicly known and accepted. In the real world, it is not uncommon for people to reverse black and white, distort right and wrong, and hype and criticize. How many people can insist on not lying, deceiving, spreading rumors, slandering...and having a more truthful attitude of seeking truth from facts? —— In April this year, I watched "The Insider" in South Korea in 2015 and 2006 in the United States. I found that "The Insider" is also known as "The Insider". The story of the film reminds me of the "Washington Post", "Blackwater", "Focus" and the Japanese drama "White Tower" and other film and television works, and Russell Crowe's performance in this film often reminds me of "Beautiful Mind" .

Journalism is an industry that tells secrets. It requires reporters to let people say what they should have said (observe and reflect, cut through to gain trust, find the truth, test the facts, and let the interviewee take risks) and let people hear what they should have said. Hear the words (under the pressure of being reconciled); since telling the truth often brings great damage, the person who wants to conceal the facts will attack the source in various ways, and finally you may face the situation: what is the fact, you The fact that will fight you. Wrestling is everywhere, and it is very difficult to fight against capital and state machinery. It is not that you alone are ready to tell the facts and the facts can work. This is this society. There will always be people who compromise, and the wisdom of the people may not be able to make them stand on the side of the truth, because the direction of public opinion can be manipulated. So are you ready to tell the truth? Are you ready to face the public? Are you ready to face the tremendous changes that your facts have brought you? /Michael Mann made an excellent genre film on this subject in his unique style, which is amazing.

Lowell Bergman: I never left a source hang out to dry, ever! Abandoned! Not 'til right fucking now. When I came on this job, I came with my word intact. I'm gonna leave with my word intact. Fuck the rules of the game!

Lowell Bergman: I did not burn you. I did not give you up to anyone!
Jeffrey Wigand: This is my house... In front of my wife, my kids? What business do we have?
Lowell Bergman: To straighten something out with you. Right here. Right now.
Jeffrey Wigand: So, you didn't mention my name? You haven't talked to anybody about me?
Lowell Bergman: Why am I gonna mention your name?
Jeffrey Wigand: How did Brown & Williamson know I spoke to you...?
Lowell Bergman: How the hell do I know about Brown & Williamson?
Jeffrey Wigand: It happened after I talked to you. I do not like coincidences!
Lowell Bergman: And I don't like paranoid accusations! I'm a journalist. Think. Use your head. How do I operate as a journalist by screwing the people who could provide me with information before they provided me with it?
Jeffrey Wigand: [pauses] ... You came all the way down here to tell me that?
