"His life was rich and exciting. He was a journalist in the best traditions, a man of glory for the Fourth Power. No matter how bombarded the war zone was, no matter how high the political scandal level, no matter the big business, the petty underworld How to apply pressure, in short, no matter the risk, he is where the news is, and he usually gets the job done."
At the beginning of the film, this eulogy at Joe's funeral is probably the conclusion that many reporters hope to have. Such reporters are admirable and enviable. So do you think the next film is to show his rich and wonderful life? totally not!
Joe is just an introduction, and the film details another reporter, Sandra, a campus reporter. Her appearance shows what kind of person she is. When a bunch of reporters crowded in front of the hotel to block the famous director but were ignored and got nothing, she took a different approach and successfully blocked the director at the elevator entrance in the hotel lobby. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that when a group of reporters come around on non-promotional occasions, the director will subconsciously hide, because he may not be able to escape once he stays there, so he goes straight through the crowd without looking at it, even if some of them are willing to The reporters who communicated with him would probably be hard to notice. But when a beautiful young reporter who doesn't pose a threat is present alone, he certainly has the leisure to chat a few times, although the result is not what Sandra hoped... But to my surprise, Sandra is chagrined that the interview task was not completed. , instead of feeling that he was at a loss or even humiliated. Praise her for her autonomy and open-mindedness, without giving her body more meaning, it is not easy to feel self-pity.
She has a passion for journalism, and her charisma is her boost—charisma is not just about appearance, she has a high emotional intelligence, and the hero has said that she is empathetic. Her emotional intelligence is not only reflected in her ability to deal with people (otherwise, she will not be able to get to know and make good friends with the upper-class British family, and you will not have the opportunity to approach the hero), but also in her sincere concern for others - she and Weiwei When Ann and her younger brother were watching the magic show, they grabbed the snacks from Vivian's hand and gave them to her brother. The little boy smiled happily; as a sister, Vivian didn't pay attention to her brother's needs, but she noticed and helped him realize it. , and he was just a child who had no interest in her. In addition, she is good at persuading people, so she can get the full support of the magician, and she can get in-depth contact with the investigation object.
It can be said that Sandra left an excellent impression on me at first. I thought she was smart and rational, enjoyed a pleasant date but could not be immersed in relationships, and could work tirelessly to achieve a set goal. But the plot is still developing in the direction that the woman in love becomes stupid, which is quite disappointing to me! Fortunately, in the end, she still saved herself with the skills she possessed. However, real news investigations are not so romantic and interesting, but risky and exciting.
The heroine is Woody Allen's queen actress Scarlett Johansson, and she still has good looks and acting skills.
The film is written, directed and starred by Woody Allen. He has written movie love letters to many cities, which can be seen from the titles, such as "Midnight in Barcelona", "Midnight in Paris", "Love in Rome", "A Rainy Day in New York" and so on. Then "scoop" can be seen as written for London, and Woody Allen's own character in the film also tells the love and hate of London. Like many American films that ridicule Britain, the film ridicules Britain's traditions, history, and aristocracy, but it also shows the country's charming countryside and gorgeous old castles. And the humor that can be seen everywhere in the lines also adds a lot of color.
