A journalist's job is to find the truth

The job of a reporter is to find the truth: There are two kinds of reporters, one is a soulless person who gives money to others, so this type also lacks a sense of justice and kindness. They will not and dare not challenge it. Red line, to dig deeper into the truth. The other is conscientious journalists, who have professional enthusiasm, pursue the freedom to report the truth, dare to unravel the hidden truth, and let the world see the real behind-the-scenes. Of course, this depends on the environment they are in. Freedom depends on their nationality and country. Some do not. They are even attacked and retaliated. Even if they get the materials, they cannot report it, because it still belongs to a society ruled by man. The movie "Private War" tells the story of a war reporter, Mary Colvin. She is very strong and always has the courage to see death like no one else. She goes deep behind enemy lines, digs the truth of the battlefield, and exposes some lies. In an interview, she was bombed blind in one eye, but it did not stop her career. She was like a one-eyed monster, tearing out a light from the cloudy sky. She became everyone's idol. After all, no one dared to go there. In-depth local interviews. But she also has fears, nightmares, mental tension caused by war trauma, smashing things, hallucinations, not worrying about her own death, but witnessing the death of others. As she writes, "In a war zone, parents sleep in the absence of knowing whether their children will see tomorrow's sun, a fear I have never felt." As far as journalists are concerned, there is no difference, work is life, life is work, where they go is only death, there is no God, they may die, or others are dying. War always has to cover up the truth. The executioner always likes to be brutal inside and praise himself with lies outside. Some people regard angels as friends, while others regard ghosts as friends, and finally he also becomes a ghost. The Gaddafi in the movie, after suppressing the reactionaries, condoned his own unscrupulous behavior and raped more than a thousand innocent women as revenge for opposing him, and his people regarded him as Allah. In fact, there are not many people who have gone too far behind enemy lines. It is human instinct to be afraid of death. Most reporters report after the incident. Some people simply copy other people's news. People who don't know it still think they are very active in their work. Very dangerous, in fact they were just staying in a safe house, posing as war correspondents. So do gods exist? Do these gods still exist for those who have been devastated by war? If they cannot protect their peace, do they still need to continue to believe in them? Is it a false god, or has it never existed at all? What's the use, maybe the devil has defeated God, so the devil has been torturing human beings for fun. The victims of war are always unarmed civilians who die from starvation, disease, cold, infected wounds and poor medical care. It is often those who shout to take everyone out of the gangster and turn over even more at the expense of civilians, attacking civilians, they don’t care no matter how many people die, they are just as drunk as a dream, they regard human life as a debt to themselves, and they should sacrifice for themselves. . War has never been the ideal of the common people, but it is an expensive method. They sacrifice tens of thousands of people to ensure the interests of some of them. This is not a fight for freedom, but a copy of another slave and Du Cai. , if Gaddafi wins. Only when I saw other people's artillery fire and the city was bombed into ruins, I was glad that such a tragedy did not happen in my homeland. Only when I saw other people's bodies, I was glad that I was still alive. War is a weapon, and it cannot be in the hands of selfish people. Their war is always a deception, but it is carried out in a grand manner, and it even becomes a spiritual education.

    He rushed into the flames of war in high-end underwear and searched for the truth in a black blindfold. When hundreds of fabric bones were unearthed in Iraq’s pits, London newspapers were discussing whether publishing on the front page of the weekend would affect readers’ mood. When the boy who died from the bomb was displayed on the roadside in Afghanistan, the British party was celebrating the success of the one-month abstinence party. When tens of thousands of civilians in Syria are being abandoned in a lie, the American studios can only exhort their efforts to be safe.

    [When you report on a war, you have to go where you might die or someone is dying] [I've been on a diet because I don't want to be fat, but I've seen a lot of people in the world starving The bitterness, so I became fond of eating] [I am afraid of getting old and dying at an early age] Her life is staying at the most brilliant moment, a person who is constantly self-destructing is like a moth to a fire, she must know that sooner or later there will be Then one day, Martha Gellhorn and Mary Colvin were women who could be idolized. I like Pei Chunhua but hope to remake it. If the reporter was a male, I would not use this angle and narrative to portray the characters.
