Rick: Actually he gave me a second choice, as long as I hand over Michonne, let us go. Although sooner or later he will want to kill us all, but what if he keeps his promise?
Hessel: Then why did you tell me about it alone.
Rick: Because I want you to persuade me not to take the path of death together.

choice
Someone once summed up the evil root of human nature, and one of them said, "When I can choose the hard once and for all, I always choose the easy and full of loopholes."
When life is particularly difficult, always comfort yourself that God is giving you a chance. Although life doesn't have so many bright moments, it's always full of fantasies that bring tears to the eyes of those historic moments in the movies. Maybe you have suffered setbacks in ordinary days, and if you can become an important figure in the historical record, then all the terrible things that are happening now can understand why.
What made the New York Times, the Wall Street Post? A long time ago we had focus interviews, it was not just a TV show it was a particularly good newspaper, and what good newspaper do we have today?
The east, south, north and west of the earth are obviously so different, but just like history always records the past, the original intention always disappears into the dust with the brilliance. At the end of the movie, I can't help but think that when you love a job that can be called a career, you will be willing to work overtime until dawn for it. Maybe at that time, it doesn't matter whether 996 or 007, and now we only have work and no career.
The movie is a typical Spielberg-style film narrative, and a little bit of gossip will cause the boulders to stir up the storm, presented in a casual way. Many people think of the historical events, the new crown epidemic, SARS..., and all they recall are small things. When history becomes a story, it's like opening Schrödinger's box. All the little things before that have turned into a omen in memory. Just like before a storm comes, bees are always restless, ants walk smart, and some are become traceable.
Meituan will want to kill Ele.me, WeChat is always using Alipay, and the industry has never lacked competition. The Washington Post always wants to know what press release the New York Times is writing. Whether the environment of an industry is normal does not depend on what means he uses, but on what he chooses at the most critical time. We allow gray areas not because we condone evil, but because God never promised that the world could become a pure land.
Pentagon secrets will leak, and there will always be someone who will break the chain of evil. We all have our own culture and history, which provide the nutrients for our survival and sometimes become the tactics of politicians. In fact, we all face the same problem, how to define patriotism. The United States of America, or Europe and the United States, emphasizes human freedom, and it leaves a window to everyone's nature. Therefore, cultural innovation in Europe and America has always maintained a high degree of vitality, and there is also a temptation that cannot be ignored for us. Eastern history has always advocated self-restraint and self-spirit. So many times patriotism and individualism are especially similar. But when the great changes of the times come, there are always a few people who bear the huge pressure of the times, while others still only fulfill their duties. Which is good or bad is inconclusive; but when changes come, ordinary people have preferences, and there are a small number of people who have a choice before that.
news
Newsroom, the show begins with a consensus on the Wall Street Post movie. The directors all hope to change the current America and redefine what the American spirit is. Actually, you see, the whole world is the same. We all have the hidden danger of being manipulated by public opinion in our worldview. The soap operas at 8:30, the politicians' flickering on TV, and the exaggeration of the crisis in other countries, in these three points, the whole world is the same routine, just like all our news comes from the same media. Movable type printing can be used not only in paper media, but also in all industries. Thoreau said in "Walden" that the news you read today is exactly the same as what you read ten years ago, except that the name of the protagonist in the article has been changed. It is nothing more than the marriage of the Spanish princess today and the divorce of a certain royal family tomorrow. When I watched the director say in the movie: You see at least we took down the front page of Nixon's daughter getting married. At this moment, I felt extremely sympathetic to Ben. Obviously, I sent a "spy" to the New York Times next door to inquire about what they were doing, but I could only buy the newspaper next door at 5 in the morning and come back to read the entertainment article on the front page of my news.
Looking back at the 1970s, Nixon visited China and he was our friend. The movie gave us a completely different perspective. The actions of several leaders in the United States in the Vietnam War were more like a disaster for the United States. History always has its own perspective, merits and demerits, and it always changes in the eyes of ordinary people. Baidu said "Watergate" changed the whole Wall Street Post, from here on out they became a completely different newspaper. If we want to understand something, we always highlight something first. Perhaps the Chinese reading of the college entrance examination has trained the core point of our entire understanding, so that now everything needs to be highlighted and summarized.
I accept that Watergate changed The Wall Street Post, and it gave the Wall Street Post reporters, editors, and everyone who worked for it a good guide. A good start is half the battle. Many people wanted to be Ultraman at the beginning, but their ambitions were tempered and their future was hopeless. Later, most of them turned to be monsters, and the rest became Ultraman who were eliminated. But in fact, there is one more important thing. Even if the "Watergate incident" gave other people such an opportunity, they may not be able to climb to the top like the Wall Street Post and become a top newspaper.
When I saw that Bai Yansong had an appointment with Luyu, he said with great regret, "When the 9/11 incident came out, we received the news immediately, but the news we received that day was for the relationship between the two countries, and we were not allowed to mention it to avoid suspicion and sensitivity. , the news of the day did not mention a word, and the whole world was reporting, and all my friends came to ask me, what are you doing." All greatness, the reason for greatness, comes from comparison.
Each newspaper has its own audience, readers are sold to high school students, entertainment is sold to gossip people, and each group needs its own reading content. At the beginning of the movie, Kathryn said that the customers of the Wall Street Journal are not that kind of tabloid, it has a certain customer demand base. I used to think that no matter what, once it becomes popular, it must become very mediocre. If an idea becomes easy to understand, then a lot of thinking and extraordinary things must be obliterated. After all, it is not a small science material for sixth grade. Every adult does not require him to change his thinking ability, but requires only one, two, three or four materials. Then why should he need a university education?
In addition, the director finally asked me to make a case, there is only one sentence: too bold. We only dare to spit, abuse, or exaggerate contempt in private, and they are all put on the inner screen to let everyone face the criticism. Many people will say that people's opinions are uneven, especially in this information age, there is no need for spies to tell lies, and people's own ability to spread rumors is no small matter. Displaying things that are beyond the public's ability to understand will cause unease in the situation, not to mention it will not help solve the dilemma. I thought that there was nothing wrong with this reasoning, and after thinking it over and over again, I felt that this reasoning requires a major premise. The major premise is that the individual who solves the problem is a Lincoln rather than a Nixon-like character.
And there is one point in the film that I think this kind of thing can only happen in America. Ben said to go to another newspaper to get the press release of Nixon's daughter's marriage because we were not allowed to attend. When other people ask why others would give it, they shouted in anger, this kind of violation of the rules of the industry, we will all unite to protest! Perhaps we should reflect not only on the necessity of the existence of professionalism, but also on the objective premise of the existence of the spirit of the industry. While The New York Times was indicted, the Wall Street Post continued the confrontation. I suddenly remembered Chinese historical works. It should be in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the facts, a historian was beheaded by those in power; the second person continued to write in the history books without changing a word, and was beheaded again; the third person was beheaded again. Still not changing a word; later Confucius sighed that this was the spring and autumn of the pen.
gender rights
"Sometimes when you speak, others think they can't hear; what you do, others find it useless; the key is not to be ignored, but to find that you have become accustomed to this kind of ignorance." This is no longer right or wrong, but It's subjective neglect, the kind that you're right but no one cares about. The movie is really penetrating.
When the court ruled and Kathryn Mayer Graham walked out silently, at that moment I had to admit that Aunt May was the best actress I've ever seen. In the current business situation, everyone will say how Dong Mingzhu is, she is like the former British Prime Minister Thatcher, because she is a woman, she is an anomaly. Mrs Thatcher once said: I have always wanted to prove that I am the same as all men, but I found that no matter what I did, I would be lowered a level to be required, and then be considered a very good woman, of course I found that I was There is also a little bit of enjoying the benefits of this gender difference. Gender differences will always exist, and we simply cannot have gender equality until one day men can have children.
Ben asked Katherine to also make a summary of her speech. The camera turned to Kai Kai, the two leaders of the New York Times in suits and ties, talking in front of the reporter's camera. Contrast Katherine silently walking through a group of women. She shook her hand casually and said, "We've already said what we need to say." I was suddenly moved. Many times our attitude towards women is that they are angry or that they dare to earn money. Mr. Yang Jiang once said: When we are young, we always care about what the outside world thinks of us, but in the end we will understand that the most important thing in life is always inner peace. Catherine's inner worries, fears, and expectations are all in the sentence "I actually love this industry, I don't want it to become my failure". The more people look forward to it, the less likely they are to take risks. Vision will bring people strength, but when it comes to the door, it takes a lot of courage. After all, who has guaranteed that the door that opens is a step to heaven or an abyss. There are thousands of entrepreneurs, and 1% of the people on the planet control 80% of the wealth. We have seen too many successful cases, and there will always be illusions. As long as you have the courage to try, you will be successful.
The coolest thing about the whole movie, I think, is when she says "I'm going to bed" to the aggressive moment of the board. She has always kept silent. Women not only often stand with weakness and forbearance, but also always hang with quietness. When psychology studies stress resilience, married women have the highest stress resilience of any group. No matter how harmonious the family is, women always bear everything and take it for granted, and it is worth mentioning that they also accept it and accept the concept of taking it for granted. Now I'm bringing this up, not to change this one, or to bring up all the issues raised by women.
Catherine said: "When her father handed over the family business to Philip, there was nothing she couldn't understand, and she happily accepted the arrangement. Before Philip committed suicide, she never even had a job experience." She was forced to accept everything that was handed to her now, and did her best to do it all, and even if she put in all her efforts, it was worthless in the eyes of others, and she was ridiculed. silence. I have to admit the details in the movie, it doesn't set any emotional ups and downs, it's just a simple chatter, but every sentence carries your emotions. There are also those words that have not been said directly, summarizing everything that is undertaken in the world of modern women, but the film does not try to pick things up at all, just stating the truth of the facts. It was originally about the glorious history of a news newspaper, but it adopted the professional purpose of the journalism industry. If there is a difference in the appreciation level of film directors, I think technological innovation can be simulated, but personal ideology and morality are difficult to reproduce. Our film and television level still has a long way to go. In other words, we used to have a small gap, but now the gap is big and small. This also depends entirely on the seriousness or insolence of European and American directors and screenwriters.
I don’t know whether I yearn for freedom or simplicity, but when I watch a group of people work overtime and try to do something amazing, I have a little regret, not only for the mediocrity of my life, but also for me I have never given myself a chance to do what I have tried so hard.

PS: It seems that it hasn’t been updated for a long time. The sky in the south is very blue, there are many clouds, and many comics appear at the moment; the summer in the south is very hot, and the air conditioner can’t always stop; I only knew for the first time that in the south, from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon , the restaurant can be closed to thank customers, but at 2:00 in the morning, the barbecue restaurant is still very lively; I have only left the south for a few years, and everything here is new and familiar. In the past, I always photographed a lot of things, but now there are always a lot of clouds in my mobile phone; I miss some places when I leave, but they are very strange when I go back, and time has taken away a lot. Watching the Japanese version of the loyal dog Xiaoba, my tears are still worthless. Sisyphus' notebook, keep going...
