George Clooney is as handsome as ever, but he is relatively embarrassed for most of the film. After all With a gun pointed at the head and wearing a bomb vest, it's a virtue to change anyone, or in some ways George Clooney is much better than us ordinary people (after all, at such a moment, it is still many strategies).
As for Julia Roberts, you have to be amazed at the fact that an old drama bone is an old drama bone (although Julia Roberts is not very old), in the short ten minutes before the opening program was prepared for the broadcast, Julia Roberts put the director's In a busy and complex environment, she is able to control the overall situation and has the ability to do it with ease, which has made a very good preparation for her to control the audience, and then she is not chaotic in the face of danger, courageous and clever, and a wonderful interpretation of clear logical thinking. Further presented to us, she seems to be the central nervous system, including George Clooney's supporters, producers, cameras, lighting, sound collection, as well as the communications director of the investment company and farther hackers have become like arms Her organs, under her leadership, turned the tide in one fell swoop at such a critical moment, and unexpectedly resolved the contingencies (except for the death of the hijacker).
After talking about the protagonist, go straight to the topic.
Film is always a form of artistic reprocessing, which contains some kind of beauty that we place and expect.
The movie "Money Monster" has a similar experience in my eyes.
The American media has always advertised its freedom of the press, but in fact, the media in any country and under any system has its inherent control side. On the surface, this film is about a listed company on Wall Street, but it actually reflects Wall Street's "disguised" plunder of the wealth of ordinary American people.
This naturally reminds me of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement that swept the United States in 2011.
In fact, in this two-month-long campaign, the performance of the American media is not like the one shown in this film, standing on Wall Street like digging deep into the grave, standing on the opposite side of capital for the entire American people "torture".
On September 17, 2011, when the earth-shattering and unprecedented pioneering work of "Occupy Wall Street" was staged in New York, there was a rare collective silence from the American media, and even blocked reports.
You must know that CNN and FOX in the United States are very excited when there is trouble in the world, and they report it.
What is particularly interesting is that the International Herald Tribune, an international newspaper wholly owned by The New York Times, not only turned a blind eye to such an important event on its own territory, on the contrary, it was in conflict with September 19, the first day of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. For three days, the first edition of the international edition reported the incident of hundreds of villages in Haining City, China, with large photos and lengths not protesting against corporate pollution. (How similar to the domestic media we attacked and ridiculed)
This is why the hijackers of this film chose a financial program to start with
—the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, which requires such a powerful voice, can still be blocked by the media. , the cry of the individual would never have been heard without such extreme means. Therefore, the "live broadcast" of this film is a battle for the right to speak.
Of course, in the era of globalization, it is difficult for information blockade to really work, so the second trick used by the media is to vilify
the people in the "Occupy Wall Street" movement of the year, and in front of the American and even Western media, they have become mob and disorderly. After being silent, the American media began to focus on the fights, sexual disorder, theft, drug use, destruction of property, chaos and dirty environment and many other negative phenomena in the Occupy movement. Describing the movement as a "small talk" and "a rabble", when the police arrested more than 700 demonstrators only because of "traffic occupation problems", they should not be criticized at all. Wall Street and its domestic financial system were extremely disappointed and believed that there were serious problems, but the US media said that there was nothing wrong with the system, and indeed no one was held accountable afterwards. Wall Street is still the same Wall Street, and the reform of the US financial system is still like a mirror in water. moon.
It is not difficult to understand why when the hijacker was killed at the end of the film, the audience in front of the TV had pity and sympathy in their eyes, but they could do whatever they needed to do in the blink of an eye, and they should continue to play board games, because everyone had already Know or not know (but get used to) this set of "rules of the game".
There is no denying that some media practitioners in the West still dare to challenge some insiders, and conduct in-depth follow-up reports and even uncover the professionalism that journalists should have to some behind-the-scenes forces and even government departments.
But once it touches the national capital, or the fundamental power of capital, it will endorse capital technically or even nakedly.
The reason is that the boss behind these media is the capital itself, which is the real relationship between the American media and Wall Street.
So it seems that the American media is very active in criticizing the government and exposing the government's shady secrets. In fact, everyone knows who to dig and who not to dig. It is the capital behind the media, which is why Republicans and Democrats can take turns governing, because capital needs such a "scapegoat" model.
Just like what a friend I know here who immigrated from the United States said, translated into Chinese to the effect that it means "hard-hitting Wall Street, flowing democracy and the Republican Party."
So at the end of the film, we saw the news broadcast by the media that suspected that one of the motives of the poor deceased Cole was because of the death of his mother, and the CEO just spread the "Anti-Foreign Bribery Regulations" and related civil lawsuits.
