A Private War Comments

    This kind of biopic of a legendary figure is actually the most difficult to make. The excellent performance of the actors is still not as charming as my own. With such a good theme, the narrative rhythm of this film is not good. The foreshadowing is too long and the editing is very confusing. Part of it is just too shocking, and Marie Colvin and all war correspondents like her deserve all the...

    In the end, you can't tell whether the war killed her or she killed herself. She has fallen into a vortex and can't extricate herself... honorable and...

    The things of the same family and genus as Lu Wei, or they are cruel, I am really sorry for the natural laws of this world. As far as the battle of Sri Lanka that took its left eye at the beginning of the film, if it weren't for China's active role in it, and let these European and American war stories that set fire to the mountain as a show, Ceylon would definitely still be a place where the long-term civil war was...

    I feel like she's a journalist who wants to be famous

    I didn't understand a few points, and I felt like she was a stupid reporter.

    Why she lied in the report, and it was an obvious lie, even a shameless lie, I don't know that it was actually the case, or it was written by the screenplay.

    Finally, in Syria, when she was reporting, she said that the...

    A journalist's job is to find the truth

    The job of a reporter is to find the truth: There are two kinds of reporters, one is a soulless person who gives money to others, so this type also lacks a sense of justice and kindness. They will not and dare not challenge it. Red line, to dig deeper into the truth. The other is conscientious...

A Private War quotes

  • [first lines]

    Interviewer: Last question. Fifty years from now, some youngster's gonna pull this disc out of a box and maybe make a judgment about becoming a journalist. What would you want that youngster to know about Marie Colvin and about being a war correspondent?

    Marie Colvin: Very difficult question. It's like writing, uh, your own obituary. I suppose to look back at it and say, you know, I cared enough to go to these places and write, in some way, something that would make, uh, someone else care as much about it as I did at the time. Part of it is you're never gonna get to where you're going if you acknowledge fear. I think fear comes later,

    [realization chuckle]

    Marie Colvin: when it's all over.

  • Marie Colvin: [about Norm] He was always first in and last out. He was invincible.

    Paul Conroy: There are old journalists and there are bold journalists. There are no old and bold journalists. You said that.
