"The news media is the voice of the people, not the mouthpiece of the government"

In this film, I saw the confrontation between the media and the government, saw one excellent media person bet his career to act, and saw the gentle and firm helm Katherine persistently make that Bold and brave decision. That moment was related to the life and death of the newspaper, but they still chose to disclose the truth. Other newspapers followed suit and published the Pentagon incident, which was more like a collective cry and protest in the industry, protesting against the president’s deceitful behavior and defending press freedom to the death. In the face of press freedom, newspapers and newspapers are no longer competitors, but comrades-in-arms sitting together. It's really touching. So many people who dare to speak the truth have spoken out together and won their due rights for this country and the people of such a country. Just like at the end of the film, "The news media is the voice of the people, not the mouthpiece of the government." We must be a media person with a conscience and the courage to speak the truth.

We also have no shortage of truth-tellers, but the current public opinion environment is too cautious. I hope to see more "debates" instead of "reports" on social platforms; I hope that everyone who dares to tell the truth can stand on the platform and shout in earnest, instead of "the user does not exist" in exchange ; Hope every bloody truth is taken seriously, not a "404".

We have never been short of truth-tellers. We were, are, and will be in the future.

    Too "focused" to be out of focus, the rhythm of the subject matter and the development of the story that can't be faulted, the emotional nodes and victory carnivals that are all expected - have become a habit for the image and the audience. It is indeed a very classical and American-style promotion of the main theme, and certain places are still warm and moving, but there are no surprises.

    The advantage of identifying this film is to make two distinctions. The first time, the distinction between "absolute" ethical value and political correctness (the main theme) is two different things; the second time, it is also the fiction and exaggeration of history, distinguishing why Spielberg This is wise and clever, but South Korea's "Taxi" is vulgar towards another evil. Most people confuse these two points, and this is what makes this movie hard to come by.

  • Kay Graham: [to Robert McNamara] I'm here asking your advice, Bob, not your permission.

  • Fritz Beebe: If the government wins and we're convicted, the Washington Post as we know it will cease to exist.

    Ben Bradlee: Well, if we live in a world where the government could tell us what we can and cannot print, then the Washington Post as we know it has already ceased to exist.
