Your lover betrays you, your friends take advantage of you, and the only people who truly love you are your parents. Before he died, he invited a pastor and kept the people in the cave in the dark. The reporter still found out in his conscience. The authenticity of news is the life of news. The responsibility of a reporter is to go to the front line to report facts objectively and fairly, not to take risks to make news. In the eyes of peers, the hero's shameless behavior has tarnished the...

Why does a man who has been repeatedly fired for drinking and misbehavior think he can still win that world's gamble?
What kind of unrelenting ambition is manipulating him and leading him to where?
The newspaper owner in a small town, a businessman, is not necessarily kind, moral, or how profound his insights are, but just out of his duty, he stood on the opposite side of the protagonist and said a powerful sentence:
Where are you going?
Consumers are here, charities...

The inverted trump card is easily reminiscent of another film, Schindler's List. He and Schindler's list have one thing in common, which is to use other people's disaster (unfortunate) to get something. But it is very different from Schindler's list, the former is evil, the latter is the best.
The inverted trump title means "flop". A down-and-out reporter who was fired from 11 American newspapers. He is very ambitious and has always wanted to make world-shattering news. He looks down...

The cruelty of human nature, the knife sees blood!
Great immortal work! Not only about journalistic ethics, but also about the cruelty of human nature, and this kind of cruelty is carried out in the name of kindness: the male protagonist wants to save people and achieve both fame and fame, but in the end, he draws water, because the goodness of saving people will always be there. Gaining fame and fame is lost in evil, like a seesaw, which sinks when you choose one end and the other. Looking at the spectators who came from all directions, they...

upside down trump card upside down humanity
This film is a typical representative of American noir films in the last century, and it exposes the deformed media at that time. The story tells the story of Chuck, a once-bright reporter who was willing to "direct" a piece of news in order to "make a comeback", which eventually led to the death of the "client".
We say that media people should be the "trump cards" of the masses and the representatives who speak out for the people. Chuck in the film is a counter-example. In order...

The last shot is shocking. The male lead reminds me of Capote, but luckily there is at least one person in the farce who really cares about the poor...

8/10. What idiot would say this is a comedy. . . I like to watch the twists and turns of the film noir, the characters with morally depraved characters, and the sharp criticism. The above points are all well done, but they are not interesting enough for Wilder's work. The structure and audio-visual There is nothing outstanding, especially the first half is quite boring, such a high rating is completely overrated. ....

The hero is smug and cheeky, so the first half is particularly good-looking (use the typewriter to move the pole to light a cigarette! A 9-point man is not moved by a 6-point woman, eh). The impeccable language of the film is the character arc... the supporting roles are also...

The world is full of interests, and they put on the cloak of morality only to pursue people's desire to spy. The interior of the cave was photographed three times, and only reporters, doctors, and priests saw the victims—the conscience of the secular, scientific, and religious. Public opinion can continue without the life and death of the characters, and whether the poor people live or die is only entangled with the reporter's personal conscience. Quite an open scene, the story develops very...

9/10 Billy Wilder, the master of prophecy 65 years ago, who seemed absurd at the time is now insane. The dawn of human nature is the director's beautiful hope, but the expansion of interests and desires makes reality more magical (even the victims in the film may be fictional today), and the real victims have become blind followers. Even more terrifying is the momentum that fuels the...

Charles Tatum: Hey. Pull up at the corner.
Charles Tatum: When the history of this sun-baked Siberia is written, these shameful words will live in infamy: No chopped chicken liver! No garlic pickles. No Lindys. No Madison Square Garden... no Yogi Berra! Whattya know about Yogi Berra, Miss Deverich?
Miss Deverich: I beg your pardon?
Charles Tatum: Yogi Berra!
Miss Deverich: Yogi? Why, it's a sort of religion, isn't it?
Charles Tatum: You bet it is! A belief in the New York Yankees!
Herbie Cook: [Looking at the unstable cliff-dwelling] I don't like the looks of it, Chuck.
Charles Tatum: Neither do I, fan, but I like the odds.
