The seventh episode revolves around the historic event that the leader of Al Qaeda, the culprit of the 9/11 incident, and the most wanted man in the United States-Bin Laden was killed by US special forces. Selecting such a heavyweight event is difficult for "News Room" to be shocked, but from what angle to present this event, it reflects the genius of the series.
There is no doubt that there will be no more "American theme" theme than bin Laden's death. In "News Room", he did not shout hoarsely for this victory, but through the tense rhythm, it deeply portrays the history of the journalists in the play from "obtaining vague news" to "confirming" to "broadcasting this history." The whole process of “sexual moments”. The uniqueness of this angle is that it does not focus all of its attention on the most wanted man in the United States, but shines the light on the characters in the drama, because in a sense, everyone who appears in the drama is Was a victim of the 9/11 incident. The "Newsroom" shows that the moment when ordinary Americans learn of this news is the ultimate victory of this military operation.
Therefore, in the episode, when the journalists hurriedly left from the carnival party scene, rushed to the editing room with alcohol and confusion, and tried their best to confirm the news, and then all the clues pointed to the same result and the same news. I waited in agony, and only 100% confirmed messages could be sent to the audience via radio waves. In this process, the atmosphere gradually accumulates in the typical fast-paced "News Room". After two small climaxes, the protagonist in the play, the news anchor Will McAvoy, sat on the studio and turned to the TV. The audience broadcasted the historic event of Bin Laden’s death, and then the episode ended with President Obama’s speech. In the more than 50 minutes of the series, no one vented and cried, and there was no crazy celebration. The characters in the play were still flirting and cursing, but the audience could not surprisingly feel that the atmosphere was slowly rising, when the climax finally When it comes, I can turn to feel that in front of this historic moment, continuing to live is the best celebration of victory. In my opinion, this kind of setting is the most human. It does not promote the power of the country and the cleverness of leadership. It sets its sights on ordinary individuals, because it is precisely tens of millions of ordinary individuals who have formed the country and elected leaders.
Of course, only skillful techniques can't make outstanding works, a good story is the source of wonderfulness. Even if I ridiculed the American theme that Hollywood peddled in many previous film reviews about American superhero movies, it does not mean that I think these dramas are evil conspiracies or ulterior announcements by the American Emperor. Audiences who have watched American popcorn movies such as "Spider-Man" are well aware that the U.S., with the prestige of a highly developed film and television production industry chain, sells the old school of "justice over evil" all over the world, but they have made a lot of money in return. Turn over. Why does the whole world happily pay for every American hero’s play of saving the world? It’s not because everyone has no memory, but no matter which country and culture the audience comes from, the light overwhelms darkness and evil does not overwhelm the righteousness. The racially divided soul chicken soup. Therefore, it is not so much that Hollywood dumps the American theme, it is better to say that it sells the commonality of human beings, but the packaging is worse than others. Back to the "News Room", the anchor Will was not ready to attack the enemy and preach victory with a destructive voice like a well-known North Korean female anchor. He sat in front of the camera and calmly said that 2977 had been captured. Criminals with lives were brought to justice; at the same time, journalists trapped in the cabin due to the busy airport reported the news to the flight captain and flight attendants with respect; a few minutes ago, retired soldiers I heard the news that bin Laden was killed in a whisper in his ear, and he conveyed the great relief to the two police officers on the streets of New York. In the directing room, the staff stood up; in the editing room, the editors stood up: in this way, the "News Room" completed a great broadcast with every individual closely related to the destiny of the country, without praising this great victory or even A bit of bright colors and inspiring music, but from every standing figure, every tear in the corner of the eye, even us, the beneficiaries of pirated downloads, can feel the taste of victory. It was not the US special forces or Obama who was seeking re-election that won the victory, but the yearning for good in everyone's heart.
