Since "west wing" and "the mad man", I have rarely seen such American dramas that win with their line skills. There are often dialogues between will and charlie. , subtle expressions and even a swear word have countless implications.
Clearly, the show pays homage to America's journalists who are fighting for the truth. Although the United States has developed information, after all, under capitalism, the real value is not recognized. On the contrary, it is more popular to gossip, ridicule the characters, and avoid problems with meaningless jokes. Today, journalists face audiences who don't seem to need reality, they want a shocking illusion of their imagination. So there is a complex entanglement between reality and ratings and the advertisers behind it. In the second and third episodes, this contradiction has been depicted. The news revenue is less than 3% of the entire group, but the top management has a bunch of business issues with the Tea Party, which is mainly criticized by Will.
It turns out that there is no escape from the ugliness associated with money, even in a country where many citizens consider themselves "the greatest country in the world". But after watching the show, I have never been so attracted to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe what is depicted on TV is not a real scene, but when the shooting happened, all contradictions were pushed aside by professionalism; when I always thought it was an asshole When Dan says "she's human , only doctor can tell her death, not news", the human consciousness is deeply rooted in their hearts; when even a will who seems so indifferent will spend a night memorizing the names and preferences of all the staff Even the leftovers gossip, and when they are chatting at the staff meeting, they say "what's so pitiful, those who have been robbed of their jobs are pitiful", but on the other hand, let Neil send the bill to his house ...Wait,
at least, when I'm watching this drama, I'll forget about "Gao Shuai Fu" and "Bai Fumei" in reality, and forget the house price and the car. The environment we live in is so unhealthy that value is money. Values like "If you can't make money in college, it's better to go to secondary school".
And every night, between the back and forth, open an episode of "The Newsroom", it will tell me that there is another kind of value in this world, besides money.
