Why do you like this movie

A good film must have a good screenwriter. State of play means that there is a good screenwriter, plus Comrade Russell Crowe's excellent acting skills, it is a film that can be recommended. Although I don't like the actor himself, it is fair to say that RC is also a very professional actor.

But I don't like the last part, I think it's a bit too much for the characterization of the characters - can this reporter really treat his friends like this? Is it really a matter of so-called personal judgment? I feel a little fake.

It is estimated that if you can watch it again in a while, you should have a different feeling.

    The plot is actually relatively old-fashioned in Hollywood movies, and political games seem to have become the main theme of America style in old American movies. But the final truth at the end is also surprising, at least not in the end. In fact, what I want to say is that from the story itself, there are three stars at most, but because of the shining appearance of Russell Crowe, this gorgeous old man, it becomes five stars.

    Political struggles, journalists, conspiracy theories, just a few points that I like are enough, and the story is told fluently, although the final twist is still poor. And, I made up the story myself into a story about a college roommate falling in love with each other... The newspaper printing process at the end of the credits is great.
