Government, humanity, and some feminism?

I can think of many domestic cases, the most recent one should be the "Zhang Yuhuan" case. Of course, these cases are only similar in some ways, but not all.

The FBI's suspicion of Richard is reasonable, but there is still this "elegy", which I think was "composed" by some negligent people in the government and the media.

When Richard went to face the FBI, he was involuntarily terrified of the "government" on the other side, and I liked what the lawyer said - "that's not the government, that's just three bastards doing things for the government".

It's a great attitude.

What Richard said in the face of the FBI, was fine. When I was watching it at the time, I was thinking that if Richard is really a criminal, then his "whitewashing" is really clever. Thinking about it now, a criminal who can do such a thing, even if he is whitewashed, may not be able to say such a thing, he is "stupid" and kind.

That kind of remark reminded me of the social issues from a few years ago, "Can you help the old man who fell on the road?"

[Supplement] Another supplement after reading other people's film reviews, about women.

When I saw the female reporter and the FBI agent obtained information through sex trafficking and reported unconfirmed reports, which in turn caused harm to the protagonist, I was very angry and wrote a Weibo to scold the reporter, but I hesitated about the title, should I write "Female reporter" or "reporter"? I saw someone say that this is satirizing some political phenomena. The person concerned is no longer there, and there is no way to find out how the newspaper got the information from the FBI, but in the movie, it is described through "sex trafficking". The director and screenwriter also completed the creation through their own imagination. Putting such an imagination on women may be influenced by the political environment at the time, but there may also be gender biases. (Just guessing, welcome to popular science, refuse to raise the bar)

    Hollywood Narrative Textbook. There are not many shots, so compact that it can’t fit into the credits. The 89-year-old man is still stable, and his technique and conscience are industry benchmarks. If I can live to this age, I can take care of myself only by urination and defecation. second thoughts: After seeing the controversy of Kathy Scruggs, there are indeed many points of MAGA circle jerk. It is believed that people are politically tone deaf rather than intended to be in old age. When the impeachment drama opens, it is interpreted as defending Trump and it is wrong (it would be too bad if Trump tweeted "great film #witchhunt" in a few days. NS)

    While the American protocol is effective, it also brings the "invisible evil foot" effect (as opposed to the invisible hand) that Charlie Munger said. Jewell concentrates the two, actively uses the training process, and at the same time undertakes the media/FBI The profile is the theme of the American TV series "Mind Hunter", and it is also a reporter's job to follow the news. The problem is that no one is responsible for a person's complete rights, only the rules. Don't say that people in the chain are driven by interests (solving cases, headlines), and this kind of violence will do evil. There is a line that says you only see facts, what about truth? This is stupidity amplified by a mechanism. Dongmu and Ken Loach, who is 6 years younger than him (I also watched tears twice), continued to hand over masterpieces of the current theme at an advanced age. The movie has become an expression of their concern for society. Like the circular emblem on the glass door of the FBI, it reflects a reality we have not yet resolved or even seen.

Richard Jewell quotes

  • Richard Jewell: You're the only one who treated me like a human being! And now you're yelling at me, telling me I have to be somebody that I'm not! I'm not that guy, you're that guy!

  • Watson Bryant: You know, I actually feel sorry for you guys: when the real bomber does it again, and the country asks, 'where was the FBI?' you're gonna say, 'we were busy getting hair samples from Richard Jewel.'
