      Dark Waters--This is a Chemical Hazards Movie

      What struck me most about the film was that it was actually a very recent event, and it has continued to this day. Looking at the years in the movie that kept sliding one after another, in addition to cold hands and feet, I was deeply disappointed. PFOA, which is constantly mentioned in the film, is a synthetic surfactant used in the manufacture of non-stick coatings such as Teflon, and is also widely used in daily necessities such as kitchenware, food packaging bags, car seals, etc. . The...

      black water

      Perfluorinated compounds, as typical representatives of persistent organic pollutants, are still the subject of in-depth research in academia (environmental science), and their carcinogenicity and teratogenicity are almost the consensus of the academic community. Its bioaccumulation and refractory properties make it widespread in the biosphere and cause lasting damage to organisms including humans. The solid facts in the scientific community are so far away and powerless to refute in the...

      one man hero

      Facing Teflon, the male protagonist was alone. Facing a powerful opponent, he had moments of hesitation and despair, but he did not choose to give up. Sometimes the law really can’t control that much, it’s not that it doesn’t matter, it’s the principle of ignoring it. No one stands up, or someone stops others from standing up, so some things are covered up, and justice is buried in ashes. Similar to the male protagonist of a novel I once read. "Only we protect ourselves", this situation is...

      Is it true that non-stick pans cause cancer? This movie based on real events tells you

      Does anyone still remember the domestic DuPont non-stick carcinogenic incident in 2004?

      DuPont nonstick pans use a Teflon coating.

      Teflon, what is it?

      Teflon is a trademark, the English name is Teflon, which is registered by DuPont in the United States. Its chemical name is Polytetrafluoroethylene, the English...

      A game of capital and justice

      Adapted from the real social events of "Teflon" that shocked the world, exposing the shady side of the huge enterprise DuPont Group, the integrity lawyer Robert used 1/2 of his career to engage in a 20-year hard tug of war with the giant company, Mark Ruffer Lowe, Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins, and other Oscar-caliber stars... That's right! This is "Black Water"!

      It seems to be the narrative method of a typical "conscience movie", but the point is not how the two sides confront each other, but the price of conscience - in many cases, conscience is not the momentary choice of life and death in war movies. Become another person, even in the eyes of others, the price you pay is not...

      After watching the movie, I checked the information and summarized, when buying a non-stick pan, pay attention to whether it contains PFOA PFOS (Class 2B carcinogens do not seem to be banned in China) PTFE is relatively safe below 260 ℃, but don’t use it for frying, no matter what Don't buy it from a small pot...

      The scientist said on the phone, "You've done a good job, Mr. Bilot, you've done a great job." And his final line, "I'm still here," is awe-inspiring. I remembered the phrase "We're not going to change the world, we're not going to be changed by the world" in "The Crucible", but Rob is really changing the world. Do you say he is great? Yes, he has taken a pay cut again and again for this case and even left his family. However, when I turn around and think that this so-called greatness is just...

      Tragedy on a farm begins and discovers a chilling tragedy. The commodities involved are not far from our lives, and it took more than 20 years for people to finally find out. In 2015, the seriousness of the whole thing was gradually known. "They make us think that the system, the scientists, the law can protect us, but only we are fighting for ourselves." How numb, selfish and evil can capitalists be for the sake of capital? How helpless can ordinary people face all this? You can watch this...

    Evaluation action

    "Dark Waters" does not have the temperament of "awarded". Although it has environmental protection themes that are closely related to every audience, and the "darkness" formed by business binding politics and technology, it has deep criticism, but in terms of expression skills, it does not Use more sensational methods. It's not how good the movie is in terms of entertainment, but it's a very real sense of powerlessness. It is more...
