It is also a news event film that can be regarded as a classic communication teaching material. Even though it is an event more than 20 years ago, it is also very meaningful today. What public opinion is often oriented to is not “should be believed”, but becomes “willing to believe”, more absolutely, and even “profitable”.
When people need a hero, they create a hero, and then squeeze the hero's available benefits; when people need a sinner, they create a sinner, and then use all imaginable evil words to vent the bombardment. A very sad thing, even the movie "The Lament of Richard Jewell" is another consumption of the protagonist. But this is what the world looks like, never perfect.
When Richard finally got the conclusion of the case, he smiled with ugly wrinkles on his fat face. He won. Did he really win? He has been consumed by this society and lost his original self. The donut he bit down, I believe, was bitter.
Talking about the shortcomings of the play, the lyrical mood of the speech is over-emphasized. The preaching flavor is still too heavy, and I always use the role of characters to directly question the society. There is also character image shaping. The FBI's image is still too rigid, blindly demonizing government departments, and many details about FBI's evidence collection did not have a substantial impact on the drama in the follow-up. Certainly, it kind of destroyed the rationality of the script and dispelled the rigorous logic of the script.
As well as the unscrupulous news media industry represented by Casey, the early scripts portrayed it as a symbol of the graphic media industry that sells hues for the sake of news. In fact, it is a line that can continue to be contrived, but it was scolded in the middle of the film. A reversal appeared after a meal. It was really an arc of the character that ruined the character. After Casey's conscience discovered it, it did not help Richard's conviction in any way of public opinion. Instead, the character disappeared out of thin air. It's too wasteful, too wasteful! It's a pity to take this line well.
