The "Washington Post" exclaimed "Boom explosion" after reading it! ?

1. The lineup?

Aunt May, Tom Hanks, Spielberg! ! ! ?What a magical combination! This lineup is amazing!

In the film, Aunt Mei was on both sides of the phone at the same time, hesitating whether to report the facts of the Vietnam War, her eyes were slightly red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, so that it wouldn't fall. I give this performance 100 points! Aunt May was very good at handling this scene, "just in the middle and strong", one word "iron", and couldn't reveal her own vulnerability; in addition to this scene, there was also when the legal counsel told the news source that it was very similar to the New York Times. Big, the consequences they faced when they broke the news was that when they entered the prison, Aunt Mei stood up and defiantly disregarded her objections, "At this time, my company, I'm going to sleep." With the role settings, Hanks has become a supporting role throughout the film.

2. Content explosion?

The Pentagon incident was filmed for the sake of justice, conscience and morality. Anyone who studies journalism and law knows the "Pentagon Incident" and "Watergate Incident". I remember that the teacher in the journalism class once taught that "news is the latest fact", "News is the latest fact" Objective and real, the people have the right to know the truth of the matter.” The most impressive words in the film are undoubtedly “We serve the people, not a powerful regime”, “The only way to defend the publishing rights is publishing itself.” When I called Hanks to withdraw all the reports and turned in all the materials, Hanks couldn't help but admire his "I refuse". This is a journalist's conscience, justice and morality, and it is their sense of social responsibility.

When Hanks threw the piles of news about the Vietnam War in front of Aunt May, I cried, the world has become better not just a few seemingly non-existent and insignificant remarks, but more practical actions. Unity of all, stand together for justice

There are very few people like him. Aunt Mei has gone through untold hardships and hesitant to even publish, let alone the first person?

3. Lens?

The first few clips summarize the Vietnam incident. First, the Vietnam battlefield, the reporter reporting the situation of 100,000 people, and one person stealing and copying documents. The three paragraphs add up to only ten minutes. The background is clearly explained. ; In addition to this, Hanks finally received the call from the authorities. First, he gave a mirror movement, and then the voice fell, and directly freeze the phone close-up! capital admiration

"Freedom of speech, people have the right to know the truth." It is these ordinary people who drive the progress of society.

    These old-fashioned old people come out at this time of year to use this kind of boring political-themed movie for nominations, which is really annoying.

    It's too stable, and it is estimated that the college will not give a good face, but it is indeed the best Spielberg after "Munich". I originally thought it would be a "focused" group movie, but the winners were clearly distinguished, and the drama between the emperors and queens supported the whole theme-the best way to defend the freedom of the press is to publish it! It feels good when I think that the tumor is going to be lifted up again...desperate...hopeful...

The Post quotes

  • Ben Bradlee: The only way to assert the right to publish is to publish.

  • Roger Clark: If you got the study from the same source, that would amount to collusion.

    Ben Bagdikian: Yeah, we could all be executed at dawn.

    Roger Clark: And we could be held in contempt of court - which means Mr. Bradlee and Mrs. Graham could go to jail. Mr. Bagdikian, how likely is it that your source and the Times source are the same person?
