      The Insider--Differences In Values Affect Aesthetics

      There are too many differences in the values of Chinese and Americans, and this film just reflects this. It should be an inspiring and inspiring story, so I watched it in a chaotic state, not excited. There are no surprises, just like a task has been completed.

      Take a look at the cast and crew of "The Insider." Director Michael Mann, two big...

      when everyone is no longer silent

      For someone like me who hates repeating things, a movie worth watching twice or even more has two forms. One is "Inception" and other brain-burning, for me It is said that the experience of watching this type of film is like learning mathematics. On the one hand, the slow thinking cannot keep up with the rhythm, on the other hand, it is unwilling to admit its slowness, and at the same time, in order to satisfy curiosity, I have to review it again and again. The other type is a movie with...

      The charisma blooming from the confrontation between the principles of human behavior and the system above the self

      I planned to watch this a few years ago, and I didn't finish watching this exciting film with a relaxed rhythm until today.
      I have been thinking about a question, why the film is so charming and attractive, so many students and practitioners who study film-related majors are fascinated, and even rise to the height of a dream.
      For many reasons,
      cinema itself is called the seventh art, and a teacher at the university said that no art form is as all-encompassing as cinema....

      No video found. Looking at the Douban comments, I found that I can say two more words

      Talk show host Oprah was implicated in a lawsuit years ago. She spoke on the show about the potential harm that genetically modified foods can bring to people. But agribusiness companies lobbied the legislators to legislate one step ahead: the crime of slandering food. As a result, oprah was accused, and after several years of lawsuits, she was finally acquitted.
      The drunkard's intention is not to drink, it doesn't matter whether oprah wins or loses, the purpose is to shock the mountain,...

      It's not right that there are not many good people like you. In addition to the black boss and the weird old man, Pacino is equally convincing as a liberal left-leaning reporter. When Wigan made up his mind, there was both a sense of the character's reliability and suddenly more strangeness, the writer's pot. Wallace reversal and reversal is irrelevant and annoying. I always feel that the characters are established by acting skills, and Russell is too much worse than Pacino. Samsung and a...

      I don't like the inking angle on Russell's side, and Pacino's character is too much what it should be. Although it is a depressing atmosphere, it gives people a feeling of pure...

    This is a very good film, moving performance, sharp characters, unique image style. Although the film is 157 minutes long, there is no cold spot, and the mood of the audience is firmly controlled every minute. (Sina Online Review) 
    Al Pacino’s performance in "The Inside Story" reminds people of Marlon Brando in "The Godfather", and the wisdom and history on his face make him appear in the "Inside Inside Story" such a smart film Be in...

    Movie quotes

    • Lowell Bergman: I'm Lowell Bergman, I'm from 60 Minutes. You know, you take the 60 Minutes out of that sentence, nobody returns your phone call.

    • Richard Scruggs: I'd be lying to you if I did not tell you how important it was in a court of public opinion.

      Lowell Bergman: And I'd be lying if I did not tell, I'm about out of moves, Dick.

    • Debbie: The subheading reads, 'Brown and Williamson has a 500 page dossier attacking chief critic.' It quotes Richard Scruggs calling it, 'the worse kind of an organized smear campaign against a Whistleblower'. 'A closer look at the file and independent research by this newspaper into its key claims indicate that many of the serious accusations against Mr Wigand are backed by scant or contradictory evidence'.
