      look and feel

      The film presents audiences with the nerve-wracking weeks of that June, a tight-paced, exciting, and detailed narrative for what could have been a boring story, and it's neat and thematically focused. Powerful, always focused on whether or not to report this potentially incendiary truth. Although the first half of the film is too protracted and loose, people are still very dazed and confused after 30 minutes of watching it. But the following plot narrative quickly got on the right track,...

      Washington post

      The film's entry point is precisely the challenges faced by the core staff within the "Washington Post" before and after the incident. The publisher of The Washington Post at the time was Katherine Gerham, played by Aunt May.

      The Washington Post was founded by Catherine's father, and her husband was in charge of running the newspaper, but because of her early death, Catherine had to take over. However, in this era of white male dominance, Catherine's fate as a publisher is to follow...

      Is there a line that brought you to tears?

      Just finished reading The Washington Post and I have mixed feelings. Compared to focusing on the in-depth analysis of a certain time, this film has risen to a format, or even an era. It has to be said that the current state of the news industry has a tendency to return. For the sake of selfishness and even more unimaginable aspects, wantonly false and exaggerated. Since the beginning of the industry, news truth is a sharp sword hanging above the head. Dazzling and awesome. But what no one...

      The short review is too long

      One was that Post only had a few hours, but he still decided to arrange the documents. A bunch of people crowded in Ben's house in a hurry but tacit understanding. The wife pushed the door and came in to count how many people were ready to cook. The daughter was still running around selling lemonade. But everyone is still playing inflation jokes with their daughters. (My favorite sense of Team)

      The second was Ben, Kay, and the directors. Several people were on different phones, talking...

      "News serves the people, not those in power?!"

      This is one of my favorite films. The dazzling cast, the subtlety of the plot, the drama between the actor and the actress, and the emotional tension that erupted in a few moments are never tire of watching. In fact, I may have actually watched it a hundred times. I always open this film every night in the fragmented time, drag the progress bar to the most exciting climax points, and savor the delicate joy brought by the art of film. .

      After the full score, I want to talk about some...

      A very flat movie, it is still the choice that makes people move. What impressed me about my brother in Korea was the choice of the little people in the big history. What this Washington Post impresses me is the choice of the press and publishing industry in the big history. It can be said that they have truly achieved the unity of knowledge and action. U.S. government: Hit the New York Times hard for me! Washington Post: We're going to hit us! In the end, the people did not agree with all the...

      At this point in time, Old Hollywood could have made such a harmonious and steady film that directly insinuates the present, subtly narrating the mistakes and crises of the past as a "honeymoon period" for journalism, women and the White House. But think about it again, the so-called main theme represented by Hollywood has always been doing this...

      Spielberg, Kaminsky and Williams' coming-of-age superhero movie revisits what the First Amendment guarantees to the Declaration of Independence at a time when bashing the 45th President of the United States has become the current trend of "politically correct" Freedom is the real political correctness. Just like Lincoln, the Thirteenth Amendment linking the play from historical facts to the country, the record significance of replicating democracy as a means rather than a goal is far greater...

      Spielberg's first movie I didn't see falling asleep. It has to be said that Spielberg is still good at creating scenes but poor at creating characters. In addition to the surging trend of printing newspapers and the sense of urgency in conflict with the IPO, it has never been clear how the protagonist in the film made these important decisions. Aunt May's understanding of Kay Graham is very shallow, and the role of hanks is completely annihilated in Aunt May's lack of breakthrough. Odenkirk is...

      65-70 points. Look at other people's patriotic education, classic theatrical structure and character writing, and you can be old-fashioned. However, the sophisticated drama rhythm and the double main line are paralleled, and the well-prepared character dialogue still drives the whole drama forward, which is better than the bridge of spies. The shaping is too deliberate, it could have turned into a good play. Not as good as...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The last scene of the film is the beginning of "Presidential Team" in 1976. "Presidential Team" tells the story of a reporter from the "Washington Post" who brought President Nixon down for exposing the "Watergate Incident."
    In all the scenes where President Nixon’s voice appears, the real voice of the President himself in the White House video tape is used.
    Tom Hanks's role model in the film, Ben Bradley, and director Spielberg are...

    Evaluation action

    "Washington Post" is not bound by its heavy themes, and it is not at all the stereotyped historical film in the impression. Kaminsky's use of colors is magnificent and soft, giving the film a touch of nostalgia, but it doesn't make people feel distant. Williams' dexterous soundtrack makes people's heart beat faster and gives the real story an electric thrill   . (Timeline Review)
    Even though the purpose of the film is lofty, its...

    Movie quotes

    • Kay Graham: Are you sure we're striking the right tone here, Ben?

      Ben Bradlee: Oh, we're going to do this again.

      Kay Graham: No. The new Style section, sometimes that stiletto party coverage can be a little mean.

    • Ben Bradlee: They'll be defending the first amendment. We'll tell them that the only way to protect the right to publish - is to publish.

    • Arthur Parsons: No offense. Kay, it's unfortunate, the buyers are obviously skittish about having a woman in charge.
