In the first half of this film, to be honest, I couldn't stand it any longer. After the climax and the end of the second half, I felt it was really a wonderful work.
Give it an 8! It is mainly to pay tribute to the spirit of the media people in the film.
The story of the film is an adaptation of a real event, the Pentagon Papers incident, which is also the US document on the real situation of the Vietnam War. At the beginning of the Vietnam War, the United States knew that it was a war that would not be won and was of little significance, but still To deceive the people and continue to send more fighters to the battlefield, this document was first published by the New York Times, causing a sensation, and then the New York Times was banned from publishing it, and then the Washington Post continued to publish it under pressure. The report of the document led the rest of the newspapers to report the truth of the Vietnam War one after another.
The filming of the film should be relatively good. As a layman, except for some who don't know what to say in the front, the whole plot is still very smooth after watching. But the reason why this film can get so much praise is probably because of the meaning of the film. Perhaps it is to commemorate the spirit of the media people at that time, or it may be to cherish the spirit of the media people of the past.
After I read it, I also wanted to talk about the spirit of media people.
"The media is for the people, not for those in power." This is probably the ideal spirit of a media person! Putting aside the country, but I really admire those who bravely tell the truth, whether it is the editor-in-chief or the female boss in the film. Because of them, our world will become more transparent. And they really existed.
Although I don't know why, whether in the United States or China, the voices of media people are no longer so free. I don't want to criticize anything because I don't know much about it.
But at least we once had freedom, and we still strive for freedom.
In the end, I have to say that Aunt Mei's acting skills are very good. She plays the female boss (the name is too long, I really can't remember), the image of a gentle and gentle lady, who has not been valued since the beginning, is the boss of the company, but There is little decision-making power. There was no sign of strength in her.
And her role has brought some inspiration to women to some extent.
It may not be a very attractive movie for me, but for someone who loves the media, or has a media spirit, it must be a very good movie, even as a spiritually oriented movie.
