As a journalism student, it may be easy to get emotional when watching this drama, but this kind of surging can no longer return to the strong yearning and following when I read "See" in my junior high school, and I am willing to be with it.
This kind of surging is because it can get to the point of excitement of the people in the play: the sudden report of the oil spill is one step ahead, the restraint of compassion for life does not announce the death of "media", the symbolic victory against capital and even against entertainment.. ....
But there is no surging with it. In addition to the courage that weakens over time, there is a more pessimistic and realistic understanding: the newsroom in the play is a utopia built by a news ideal, full of fast speech, full of emotions, The idealistic heroes of justice incarnate.
It's not even an elegy, but just a depiction. Because apart from the theoretical description of news ideals, at any time in reality, in any country, any kind of news media does not seem to have reached that state.
It can't even be a goal, but an ideal at best. Ideal power can be restrained, capital can be overthrown, margins can be eliminated, justice can last forever, the truth can be revealed, everyone is a hero, and everyone is a savior.
I think I'm not the only one who has encountered this kind of problem in my life: you see a radiant shore, and you try your best to climb to the shore, but you suddenly realize that the shore is muddy, dirty and mixed. Do you continue to choose to go ashore or continue to swim to find the next landing?
Some people say that this is growth, some people say this is reality, some people say that the sky is no longer clear, and some people say that people are no longer kind. We cannot force art to reflect reality. Sometimes art is to depict ideals, to depict illusoryness, and to depict radiance.
Another reason to call Samsung is that the drama's tangled display of emotional lines is used to neutralize the amount of information overloaded at work? Or is the news content not enough, and the emotional line needs to be bluntly pieced together?
