Bystander is a crime

Focus on plot structure, narrative logic, simple emotional expression and restraint The gentle tonality and heavy feelings are Wen Qingfan in the business, but there is no sloppy and babbling moans. However, only such a neat expression can restore the real attributes of the shocking real story of the scene itself, which should also give the film a lot of bonus points. But what impressed me the most was the description of the real working conditions of journalists: Michael Keaton was in the office at the end of the film when he was criticized by his lawyer for ignoring the moral inclination for the essence of the news (what did you do) Introspection (what we did at the time). . . . Silently attacking every conscience is equivalent to a crime. Blindly numbing the journalists, choosing topics to obtain news materials, and ignoring moral consciousness reflects the normal state of media work around the world today. And an editor A was furious because Keaton decided to delay the release of the truth; editor B found that a notorious bishop lived near his home and silently wrote a note at home reminding children to be careful; when the incident was revealed, the newspaper that announced the truth finally dumped A few scenes in front of the bishop's house. . . . Precisely insinuates that moral conscience will always be awakened at the right time. What I fear most is not that ugliness is covered up by a powerful corrupt system, but that conscience is always replaced by numbness. In general, it is worth seeing

    This film is better than the American drama "Newsroom". There is an illusion that conducting social news investigations in the U.S. has little resistance and is very simple. Check the information and interviews are completed. The reporters don’t need to shed blood and sacrifice. In the heavenly dynasty, social news reporters will give you the crime of prostitution at any time, and they will be phishing law enforcement at any time. , I will squat you in jail at any time, be beaten or killed at any time in revenge, not to mention anything else, please see what happened to some reporters and leaders at Southern Weekend.

    Originally, choosing a famous investigative feature is a bonanza for film directors. The clear logic, detailed figures, vivid characters, and appropriate rhythm in the report are all about drawing a storyboard script directly for the screenwriter. However, this film is not based on the report of the "Boston Globe", but re-edited the work of the "Focus" investigation team in the nearly one year before the release of the blockbuster report. The rhythm is very enjoyable, hardly a breath
