Looking at the Washington Post, this should be one of the movies that can be listed in my lifetime. The rhythm is tight, there is no procrastination at all, and the soundtrack is also very good... I didn't read the introduction of "Washington Post" before, but watched the movie directly. The more I watched it, the more familiar the plot was... I read Teacher Linda's writing last year. The fourth part of the "A Closer Look at America" ​​series, "If a Comet Crossed the Sky", is devoted to the Washington Post. The plot is almost exactly the same as what Mr. Linda wrote, and it is highly restored. If there is no background knowledge, I may interpret it. In the past, the news media and the government are competing against each other, and it is a group of enthusiastic media workers who will not yield to the government and will do their best to resist to the end. But when I had the background, I knew it wasn't a simple power struggle, it was the legal system of this country, the defense of their constitution, the defense of their free speech. This time is very meaningful. Excerpts from this set of content written by Teacher Linda: From Judge Gesell's warning to The Washington Post, we see once again that the concept of freedom of the press in the United States is not "boundless freedom", it is restricted, first of all From the self-discipline of journalists' professional ethics, they must judge for themselves whether their actions are within the scope of freedom of the press, or whether they are harming the country, which is equivalent to harming the public. Judge Goldfein's opinion: National security is not something you can get in a fortress. National security also depends on the values ​​of our liberal system. In order to guarantee the freedom of expression and the people's right to know, an unrepressed, tenacious and omnipresent press will inevitably encounter difficulties from the powerful... The First Amendment of the Constitution does not only protect the opinions of social theorists and columnists . The First Amendment to the Constitution protects the free flow of information so that the public can learn about the government and its actions. These are difficult times. Nothing is a better safety valve than freedom of expression. Throughout our history, this has been the patron saint of our system. This is the main feature that distinguishes our country from other forms of government and state. When I read this, my blood boils. The Washington Post is undoubtedly lucky. When confronting the government, there is still an independent third party, the Supreme Court, to make a fair ruling. This is a statement in American history. A milestone of freedom. The boss, editor-in-chief, and journalists of The Washington Post adhere to the foundation of freedom of speech with their highly professional abilities and lofty professional ethics. Finally, Katherine said: We are not always right, we are not always perfect, but we still need to move forward, this is our job.

    Disappointed: the story is not standing, the scheduling is chaotic, and the political preaching is too strong. Tom Hanks' performance was slightly deliberate. The role of Aunt Mei, the growth story is really not round, I thought that the last "king's speech" would come, but the reporters all gathered around to interview the New York Times-which was very embarrassing.

    Media priority field, friends gathering. Good in retro, bad in old fashioned. Textbook-like main theme, textbook-like start-up and turn-around routines, textbook-like protagonist character, the newspaper industry is so heroic and exciting, plus it fits with personal stories, I burst into tears for a half-time, but after the end, I still know very clearly that both routine. Just like those men who are very idle to flirt with you.

The Post quotes

  • 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?

  • Kay Graham: When Phil died it was just - I was 45 years old and I had never held - I never had to hold a job in my life. But, I just, I loved the paper, you know. I do. I do so love the paper. I don't want it to be my fault. I don't want to be the one - I don't want to let Phil and my father and all of you kids and everybody down.
