I finally saw this movie at the beginning of 2020. It is indeed not as good as "Morning News" to restore the tension of real events. It is too plain and even boring in the eyes of some people. The clues of the three protagonists are very distant, and when they gather in the same elevator, the excitement is fleeting; the fictional characters have a very obvious sense of overhead, a real symbol of the new generation designed for this feminist film Strength and hope, but in the scenes where he was asked to pull his skirt and cry outside the restaurant, Margot gave a pretty good performance, especially the embarrassment and cramp of the former; due to the time limit, many things were taken for granted, such as Threatening the silence of other employees with unemployment, the relationship between Kelly and Gretchen, the pressure Kelly faces in the investigation, Kayla's attitude change process... But it's all filmed in The Morning News. I really doubt whether the motives of making this movie are pure enough (especially the one-night stand arranged for Margot, the only one who has no same-sex scandal among the three leading actors), but it doesn’t matter, the two-hour condensed reduces the burden of communication——
The struggle between Kelly and Republican Trump has entangled her own feminist stance and the political background behind FOX; Gretchen has learned enough from previous failed accusations; plus the identities and influence (power) of the two female anchors , flipped public opinion—
This battle really deserves a model. The voice of women I hope to see is to fight a prepared battle instead of crying that they are victims and rely on the solidarity of public opinion; I hope that people with social prestige have the courage to speak up, regardless of whether they have real power or not.
PS. I can't help but want to say that the solidarity of women in feminism is really, really important. Always remember the line in "Orange Is the New Black S1" "I don't understand why some people don't want to be a man, it's like winning the jackpot given by God and then returning it by yourself". Male dominance has been deeply rooted in the operating system and system of society. Only when every woman is conscious of a feminist position and is united enough can she achieve some progress and achievements in fighting for her due rights.
PPS. If nothing else, Margot Robbie, born in 1990 and Saoirse Ronan, born in 1994, are the most powerful actresses in Hollywood in the future. They have the characteristics of the post-90s generation that are completely different from the previous Hollywood actresses-undisguised career ambitions. Margot from Tuao has a Barbie-like face that conforms to the traditional Hollywood aesthetics. The role in the famous work "The Wolf of Wall Street" can be said to be in line with Hollywood's imagination and expectations for such a face. The role of the actor is already beautiful enough, and in addition to commercial blockbusters, there are also very rich types of performances, such as Quentin, biography, literature and art, independent films, etc., and, "Marriage at an early age". Similarly, Saoirse from Scotland has a movie face with an academic texture. After his debut as an adult, he still maintains a private life with almost zero scandals, and has made great strides on the road of art films and awards. The two Hollywood darlings, their decisiveness in their love life, their clear career orientation, and their uncompromising or even excellent acting skills make me feel in awe - not repeating the mistakes of many female actors' predecessors, such as Winona Ryder, such as Jennifer Aniston. After all, the entertainment industry is also a talented person from generation to generation. Jennifer Lawrence, who was also born in 1990 and was known as "Young Aunt Mei" at the time, has long been out of the limelight. The only thing I vaguely worry about for them is whether the loss of being lucky enough not to suffer from female identity hides future risks, and whether it will fall miserably when no one is holding it. There are already rumors that Saoirse and Jack Lowdon are PR couples to prevent same-sex rumors. In contrast, Emma Stone, who was born in 1988, is more calm. She talks about love on and off, and her acting skills are growing visibly. I still can't forget her excellent performance in "Birdman". Of course, the private life is not beneficial to the tying of actresses. What I hope to see is that they can fully control their career development path.
