This comment does not mean anything to belittle the film. On the contrary, this film reminds me of several other great films, such as "Twelve Angry Men" and "Assassination of Kennedy." These works have one thing in common: they are related to justice, truth, and democracy.
The film does not show the various dramatic plots before and after this explosive event with great intensity, but calmly focuses its perspective on two reporters who keep calling and typing on the typewriter, constantly searching for clues and seeking the truth. It doesn’t matter what the truth is. The real focus of the film is to praise the efforts of ordinary people in pursuit of the truth.
There is almost no climax in this movie. If you have to find a climax, it must be the sound of typing on the typewriter at the end of the film. One film critic said it well, "Amid the rapid typing, I heard the voice of real democracy."
I think that every journalist or anyone who is preparing to work in this industry should watch this movie, and then ask himself if he still wants to be a reporter.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein do not pretend to be heroes or fighters in the defense of democracy and freedom. Democracy and freedom have long been integrated into their blood. They just did what they thought was right.
I would like to pay tribute to them and people like them with this article.
