      no bystanders

      The structure of the film is compact, the narrative is direct, the clues are clear, and the pace is moderate. In fact, from some places, it is more like a documentary.

        But the biggest difference between A MIGHTY HEART and a documentary is that there are no bystanders. The director strives to make the film both true to the documentary and full of emotional care. The film strikes a good balance between watching and experiencing.

          No matter how big an event is, bystanders...

      strong heart

      For a long time it belonged to a documentary No music kept telling the story of how things were going The

      world was not as good as it was supposed to be In certain circumstances the individual was the nation

      and the goddamn religions the goddamn wars The people who have killed so many

      people working for peace and racial equality, you are all great, the

      truth and the plain way of narration, but it brings a strong sense of shock.

      There are so many...

      Really moving things don't need to be sensational

      Ideological stuff aside, this is a wonderful movie. A lot of characters are portrayed with the brushstrokes of the documentary, and a lot of "empty" shots are full of human sympathy and care.

      I love the tone and the way it is cut like this. The director refused to turn this story into a "blockbuster", but chose to narrate and restore it calmly and objectively, so that the audience could feel ups and downs with the development of the situation as if watching a live broadcast. The...

      behind the strong

      Julie turned out to be so strong, the heart-piercing "No...No...No..." really shouted out the despair of future happiness after losing Danny, but when she "keep smiling" , life is full of hope. This fascinated woman...

      a true story

      This movie really has no plot at all, and if you like dramas, this movie is definitely not a good choice; but its preciousness lies in its real, real American journalists telling a story that happened in real Pakistan 's true story. You can see the dusty Karachi, the perseverance of American journalists in pursuing facts and truth, the firmness of Pakistani soldiers to maintain the dignity of the country, the meticulous care of relatives and friends, the strength of a woman who is expecting to...

      War correspondents are always a group of freedom-loving, courageous and persevering people. The film based on real events may be because the entire crew revolves around Julie, so the plot is chaotic and unattractive. It is a little thin and pale to want to support the whole story through personal acting skills. All people living in conflict zones have mighty hearts, but unfortunately the soul of the film is not full...

    Movie plot

    In the five years since the death of Danny Pearl ( Dan Futterman ) , the editor-in-chief of the South Asia region of The Wall Street Journal , nearly 230 journalists have been killed on the front lines of the mission.
    Marina Pearl ( Catwoman ) will never forget that day, the day that changed her life forever-January 23, 2001. At that time, she and her husband came to Karachi in southern Pakistan because of the news about the connection...

    Evaluation action

    "A Mighty Heart" seems to be the subject of a lot of attention, but in fact it can only help the film's publicity. The premature full exposure of the plot makes it difficult for the film to have a shocking power beyond the audience's expectations. However, Catwoman perfectly interprets the image of Marina. Regardless of her appearance, gestures, or spiritual portrayal of Julie, she is very similar to the character prototype Marina...
