Appreciation of Meryl's Strong Woman

I have seen a few Meryl dramas. In middle and old age, Meryl's dramas are usually mothers and strong women. Mother's dedication is like a bridge's last dream, joy like Mamma Mia, sharp like August. I have seen three Meryl movies of three strong women, "Iron Lady", "The Queen Wears Prada", "Washington Post". The three strong women are amazing. But Meryl showed us a different kind of strong woman. Mrs. Thatcher was more powerful. When watching the movie, I felt Mrs. Thatcher's words, as if they were tangible, spewed out of her mouth and hit the table, in the air, hehe, the faces of the people under her. As for the queen who wears Prada, it shows the ability of the elite in the workplace. Compared with Margaret Thatcher, Miranda is more like an idol, and every move exudes charm and confuses a bunch of small fans. During the special period of 2020, when I was bored and hadn't watched a movie for a long time, I stumbled upon The Washington Post. As the publisher of the Washington Post, she had no intention of being weak. As the publisher of the newspaper, she walked in the company with a group of directors, a group of men walked in front of her, and she walked quietly behind. It's not the dream that shines into reality, it's reality that shines into the movie, huh, this is a kind of disrespect. She is a weak strong, but not cowardly. Walking on thin ice, but without hesitation. Compared with the previous two, she is in the process of climbing. When she made a trembling decision, she finally took another step closer to the top of the mountain.

The Post quotes

  • Robert McNamara: If you publish, you'll get the very worst of him, the Colsons and the Ehrlichmans and he'll crush you.

    Kay Graham: I know, he's just awful, but I...

    Robert McNamara: [Interrupting and getting extremely angry] He's a... Nixon's a son of a bitch! He hates you, he hates Ben, he's wanted to ruin the paper for years and you will not get a second chance, Kay. The Richard Nixon I know will muster the full power of the presidency and if there's a way to destroy your paper, by God, he'll find it.

  • Roger Clark: What if we wait? What if we hold off on printing today. Instead we call the Attorney General and we tell them that we intend to print on Sunday. That way we give them and us time to figure out the legality of all of it, while the Court in New York decides the Times case.

    Ben Bradlee: Are you suggesting we alert the Attorney General to the fact that we have these documents, that we're going to print, in a few days?

    Roger Clark: Well, yes, that is the idea.

    Ben Bagdikian: Yeah, well, outside of landing the Hindenburg in a lightning storm, that's about the shittiest idea I've ever heard.

    Fritz Beebe: Oh boy!
