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.

    The textbook-level Spielberg actor scheduling class was so cool to watch. A few mirror games, a few indoor scenes, that multiplayer phone scene... it's pretty much. However, there are still some flaws of stepping on the wrong point or using too much force, such as a scene where the court meets an opponent's female assistant or finally walks out of the court through a group of hippie women.

    Streep's interpretation of Mrs. Graham's inner transformation through a series of subtle expressions and eyes on this end of the phone is the most magical performance on the screen this year. Aunt May performed in this powerful drama focused on female characters. It is an unquestionable achievement, and Spielger’s craftsmanship as an effective carrier maximizes the talents of each department in this tight-paced film creation team.

The Post quotes

  • Daniel Ellsberg: Someone said this at some point about why we stayed when we knew we were losing. Ten percent was to help the South Vietnamese. Twenty percent was to hold back the Commies. Seventy percent was to avoid the humiliation of an American defeat. Seventy percent of those boys just to avoid being humiliated? That stuck with me.

  • Fritz Beebe: The company's selling how many shares?

    Kay Graham: 1.35 million shares.

    Fritz Beebe: Price range is?

    Kay Graham: Between 24.50 and 27 dollars per share.

    Fritz Beebe: Not exactly a huge difference.

    Kay Graham: For them! But, you know, the bankers always fiddle with the prices. But, for *us*, that's over 3 million dollars and that represents over 5 years salary for 25 good reporters.
