The heroic dream of a media person

Greyson 2022-04-21 09:02:18

A pure young girl full of news ideals wakes up from morning to night to bring a morning news program with low ratings back to life. In fact, it is the same idea as a superhero saving the world. It's just that the savior here is the media guy, and it feels more realistic to increase the ratings of the show than to save the world.

Almost all of the actors gave a high level of performance. Rachel McAdams is impressive, combining the energy and persistence of a professional media person with the natural freshness of a girl in her twenties. I haven't seen such a flattering female character in a long time. Diane Keaton plays a competitive and interesting female anchor, showing a relaxed and not vulgar attitude, I really did not expect the elegant and beautiful Annie Hall to be a good material for comedy. Harrison Ford, the boss with an unhappy poker face, played a legendary old anchor who was out of tune with the times. He pursued a lifelong news ideal, and his personal life was stagnant, and his career was stalled. The most exciting moment of the whole film is when he gets the scoop on the governor's arrest, Morning Glory, honorably belongs to the old guy.

To put it bluntly, this film is a fairy tale of media people. The plot is not novel, but it is better than the rich details and vivid characters, which makes people prefer to believe that all this really happened. There is no shortage of small emotions and small conflicts that commercial comedies should have. The rhythm is brisk and bright, and friends who do media and like to watch light comedies should not miss it.

  • Becky Fuller: OK. Is Daybreak a shitty show? Yes! But it's on a network, and not just any network. This is one of the most legendary news divisions in the entire history of television. Daybreak just needs someone who believes in it, who understands that a national platform is an invaluable resource, that no story is too low or too high to reach for...
