"News serves the people, not those in power?!"

This is one of my favorite films. The dazzling cast, the subtlety of the plot, the drama between the actor and the actress, and the emotional tension that erupted in a few moments are never tire of watching. In fact, I may have actually watched it a hundred times. I always open this film every night in the fragmented time, drag the progress bar to the most exciting climax points, and savor the delicate joy brought by the art of film. .

After the full score, I want to talk about some things outside the film. Yes, I love this film very much, but for the film "news is for the people, not for those in power." The heart of the heart-warming sentence Language - snort. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution paints a beautiful vision, in which "press freedom oversight of those in power, and service to the people" really does it? In the decades following the Watergate milestone, both the Post and the mainstream American media seem to have confirmed: "When reporting international news, if it has an adverse impact on the United States, justice can be lost; when reporting domestic news, if If it is not good for the parties involved in the media, then the objective can also be discarded.”

Maybe we did worse, but in reality they were by no means as good as in the movies.

    Although I knew from the beginning that the political appeal of this film was greater than the artistic pursuit, in the end it still made my eyes burst into tears, especially the moment I ordered the newspaper to be printed. It's old-fashioned, it's formal, but I still have the ability to hit my heart. People in the media will fight against the government at all costs for their faith and for the benefit of the public. The ideal of freedom of the press is immortal! Is the sequel going to film the Watergate Incident?

The Post quotes

  • Ben Bradlee: [to Kay] You know, the only couple I knew that both Kennedy and LBJ wanted to socialize with was you and your husband.

  • Ben Bradlee: We have to be the check on their power. If we don't hold them accountable, then, my God, who will?

    Kay Graham: Well, I've never smoked a cigar. And I have no problem holding Lyndon or Jack or Bob or any of them accountable. We can't hold them accountable if we don't have a newspaper.
