kill. It is ironic that a newspaper turned a deserted town into an "Internet celebrity", a playground, and the rescue operation even became an entertainment activity. After a person died, the crowd dispersed quickly. In the end, the reporter knelt down/prostrate in front of the newspaper boss/truth, and then it was considered to be worshipped. Come too late. The reporter came to a small town full of ambition and always wanted to report on a "big event". He was able to make a name for himself and return to New York, but he almost succeeded. He also knew the "rules" of the press very well. Will make up stories and forget the most important and fundamental truth. I feel sorry for him, and pity for those buried in the hole.

The mercenary news mechanism turned a simple rescue into a spectacle, "murdered" a man and pitted the American dream against the American spirit. Billy Wilder turns a film with a near-film noir beginning to Capra-esque questioning, and the Playground sequence even reminds me of Fellini.
