lighthearted and inspiring

It's another typical New York City-style movie. I like this tone, it's lighthearted and life-like.
The heroine Becky belongs to the kind of workaholic girl who has dreams and passion, which is what modern urbanites lack. She brought a burst of momentum to a show group that was on the verge of disbanding, and finally she was favored by the coveted big column.
This film is more like the ultimate confrontation between Mike and her, a former anchor with an extremely dazzling and glorious past, and a fledgling little girl with "bangs" who loves journalism. I think their main conflict is Mike's inability to accept the fact that is outdated, unwilling to make compromises and changes, always covering up his problems with halo and stubbornness. And Becky completely represents the new force, offending Mike's insistence with a slap in the face.
A very sweet ending is that Mike and Becky learn from each other, bringing a new change to the news program, and the program team has also become a big family, everyone put down their prejudices and work in a relaxed and harmonious way.
I really like the outfit Becky wore to the "Today" interview. It really looks very comfortable, formal yet gentle, foreign yet sweet.
In addition, Mike turned out to be played by Harrison Ford, wow, why is it so familiar, the old handsome guy is fat.

    It’s a very cute story. The heroine is beautiful.

    An inspirational movie! Fortunately, I didn't miss it... Director Kai Ge's "Search" is also related to the news, but after reading it, there is only deep thought and unspeakable discomfort. Unlike this film, it gives a warm and beautiful feeling from beginning to end!

Morning Glory quotes

  • Lenny Bergman: Wow! Well, look who the wind blew in! What happened to you?

    Becky Fuller: Well? We're gonna change a few things.

    Lenny Bergman: OK.

    Becky Fuller: Is Ernie in place?

    Lenny Bergman: Yes, he is. He'll be interviewing people as they come off the coaster.

    Becky Fuller: No, he won't. Not anymore he's not. We're gonna put him on that coaster. We're gonna strap a handheld to the car in front of him, and then go live. Boom! It's called picking up the game, people. OK? So from now on every single story that we do is gonna have to be sensational! And we're gonna be more aggressive. We're gonna work harder, and we're gonna do it right now.

    Lenny Bergman: Uhh, are you gonna...

    Becky Fuller: I'm not gonna sing!

    [to herself]

    Becky Fuller: Why do people ask me that?

  • Becky: Look, my, my radar for that kind of thing is so bad. I, I mean I don't know if a man is interested in me until he's naked. I mean the pants come off and then I'm like "oh, I guess you don't really want to see my CD collection or talk about Kerouac."
