      He wants to speak and stops, like a knuckle in his throat.

      After reading it, there are mixed flavors for a while.

      I watched "Strategic Special Situation Group" a few years ago. It was very touching and thought-provoking. The focus of the film is on personal emotions and emotional urgency. It needs to make quick decisions at the moment. It is a drama with a tight plot. The film is more like a documentary that traces the past after the fact. "Torture Report" also seems to be a question of choice, but the actual issues discussed are more...

      Politic

      I have a bad habit. After watching a movie that I don’t know very well, I don’t want to watch it several times to understand or find information to understand the story behind the movie, but to read the film reviews first, and get myself from others’ evaluations. However, the initial attitude is not always similar, so I want to write something.

      Regarding political movies, I seem to be able to watch them relatively smoothly. No matter how many shortcomings others may have, as...

      The blurred line between patriotism and treason

      The film "The Report" (2019) is based on a 7000-page Senate report, which aims to investigate the "Enhanced Interrogation Technqiue" implemented by the CIA after 9/11, commonly known as "torture." . This report involves 6.3 million pages of original material, which can be used to pile up the Himalayas in the "Wenshan".

      The CIA's so-called torture such as waterboarding is actually far from "cool" according to Chinese standards.

      Audiences who are particularly interested in...

      "Torture Report": "Black Water" and "Richard Jover's Lamentations" could become this year's "Trilogy of Fighting for Truth"

      I still think I should make up the evaluation of this film. The reason why I didn’t write it after watching it at the Toronto Film Festival in September was because I watched this and #婚故事# on the same day. It is conceivable that the latter left a deeper impression and a stronger resonance. Because of time, I didn't have time to elaborate on this one. The issue of the screening strategy. Both "Torture Report" and "Marriage Story" are released in the same month. It is indeed very dangerous....

      Never again

      The America is big enough to admit when it's wrong and confident enough to learn from its mistakes. Releasing this report is an important step toward restoring our values ​​and showing the world that we are, in fact, a just and lawful society.There are those who will seize upon the report and say,"see what the Americans did?" And they will try to use it to justify evil actions or to incite more violence.We can't prevent that,But history will judge us by our commitment to a just society...

      If there is an American soldier who has so immorally and shamelessly hurt a prisoner, I sincerely ask you to impose the harsh and severe punishment required for such a serious crime because their actions have brought shame upon themselves and their country and hurt - George...

      7 points. A little researcher with a sense of justice challenges the political shady scene. Hollywood has enough routines to make this kind of film. On the whole, it's a bit bland. It's not so much that the story itself lacks explosive points. It's better to say that as audiences outside the United States, we have long known about these ghosts that the CIA has done, and it doesn't seem to have any impact. In fact, what should be pondered is that countries like the United States and Australia...

    Evaluation action

    "The Report" is a highly skilled and well-produced political film. Although a bit obscure and lengthy, it seems necessary. Director Scott Z. Bennes put countless details of written records on the big screen, gave the investigation and research of the incident a three-dimensional sense of life, and objectively portrayed two psychologists in real life. In this film that reveals correct values, Adam Douglas Driver interprets rich drama in...
