I believe the reason the movie attracted audiences in the first place must be because of its director, Clint Eastwood.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he himself is a part of American culture. As an actor, he is the hero of the adventure-loving western cowboy classic love film "The Bridge of Last Dreams" in "The Bad and the Bad". In "Million Dollar Baby", the photographer worked together with his disciples to achieve a brilliant boxing coach. As a director, he has personally produced many excellent films that are read orally today, such as "Captain Sully", "Perfect World" and "Suspicious Clouds of Change". ""The Mule" and many other movies, whether as an actor or director, Mr. Dongmu is already in his 80s when he is participating. I think that such a dedicated film model worker, Mr. Dongmu, will eventually walk away even if he dies. Ready for a movie or on the way to a movie!
Paul Walter Hauser
This is his first time playing a leading role in a movie. At first glance, you may wonder why the director would find an unremarkable actor who has no bright spots in all aspects. After watching the whole movie, you may be amazed at the director's casting ability, because it happens that we can find the resonance of the little person who was involved in the whirlpool of public opinion after experiencing a sudden incident in this ordinary actor. Let's take a look Watch this Oscar-worthy film, "The Lamentations of Charlie's Jewell," which is based on a true case. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, at 1:15 am on July 27, a serious explosion occurred in the central square of the Olympic Century Park, which is 1.5 kilometers away from the Olympic Village and cost 60 million US dollars. About two hundred people were injured and four died.
The story begins in the arcade where the owner Bryant and Jewell are playing a shooting game together and ask him why he wants to enforce the law? And the male protagonist confessed "because I want to protect the people" and told his boss that he is studying the code every day in order to become a real police officer one day.
Jewell took a new job shortly after and was about to become a campus security guard. Before leaving, Bryant told him "a little power can turn people into monsters, don't do that" and gave him a little compensation, hoping he would take care. However, because of his rigorous, serious, stubborn, and rigid working attitude, Jewell was very unpopular with people on campus at first. For example, his serious inspection of drinking on campus has aroused the resentment of the male dormitory students.
He made people pull over on the road just because taking a drink-driving test on the road would ensure the safety of the students in the school, but what he did did not make the leaders appreciate it, and was expelled by the school leaders instead. Depressed, he confided to his friends when he was in contact with his friends to shoot, and he didn't understand why he was still fired for working so hard. Friends told him not to be discouraged, the Olympics are coming soon, and there will be a lot of security work by then. Everything was as expected and the Olympic Games went ahead as scheduled. Jewell is as hopeful as ever about his work. As a staff member, before starting preparations, he asked his mother, "Is this a law enforcement right? Although I'm just looking after a bunch of audio equipment or something," his mother encouraged him, "Of course, you're still a good guy against bad guys, aren't you?"
Such a simple and warm dialogue may have been the biggest motivation for Jewell on the way to becoming a police officer. Along with the fireworks at the opening ceremony, people danced and sang and laughed. While some people hope that this all goes smoothly in safety, some people hope that something will go wrong in this much-anticipated Olympics. Female reporters are one of them, hoping to catch a compelling hot news.
In the process of chatting with other staff members, Jewell found a man carrying a large bag with a ponytail and a suspicious behavior. The other staff members disagreed. He followed and found that the man's bag was only filled with beer. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that he stumbled upon a backpack under the bench during a duty, and other staff thought it was a backpack that was accidentally dropped by others. He insisted that he needed to follow the procedures, set up a security area to ensure the safety of the people, and notified the other workers on duty to leave the scene, but few people listened to him. He called in security anyway, and it turned out, as Jewell had imagined, a bomb. They evacuated immediately. After the bomb exploded for a while, the reporter found the first person who found the bomb, Jewell. For a while, he became a hero in the eyes of people, competing in magazine news and TV reports, and various publishing houses invited him to write a book about the incident.
At this time, Jewell had served as the principal of the campus. Because he was dissatisfied that the security guard who had been fired by himself had become a hero, he reported him, so that the FBI had targeted Jewell and conducted real-time monitoring and monitoring of him. He came to the door to eavesdrop, and unfortunately, Jewell happened to know some knowledge about how to make a bomb, which aggravated the police's suspicion of him.
It is absurd that during the investigation by the officers, a series of evidence pointed to Jewell as the real suspect, and these evidences were all of Jewell's hobbies, such as collecting guns and shell bombs, which became synonymous with violent tendencies. Collecting sawdust at the blast site was just to commemorate the great deed he did, but it became the evidence of the crime. After a series of malicious investigations and public slander, Jewell and his mother could no longer withstand the mental pressure and were on the verge of collapse. They decided to fight back. Bryant took Jewell to pass the lie tester, went to the newspaper to scold the reporter who wrote a lot, and finally held a press conference to clarify Jewell's innocence.
In the interrogation room, Jewell told the officers "I did my job that night and some people were still alive because of it, do you think the next time a security guard sees a suspicious package he will report it? I doubt it because they Think they don't want to be the next Jewell, so I'll just run away, that doesn't give people any sense of security." In the end they won the war and a hero's true innocence. After watching this movie, I was reminded of the news that a female doctor in Sichuan committed suicide because she was framed and profiled on the Internet. Cases like the female teacher in Sichuan were forced to the end of the road due to online violence and public opinion, and then found a reversal. The facts are not as numerous as the public knows about hot events.
I also think of the news of public figures like Cui Xueli, Qiao Renliang, etc. who could not bear the overwhelming slander and abuse, and eventually lost their vitality for life, suffered from depression and committed suicide. People from other people: How much insider information do you know about people and things you know from the Internet? Why in real life you are unwilling or even afraid to stand up and criticize things, but online become a battlefield for you to establish moral commanding heights? Has there never been a mainstay of truth on the Internet, only the guilt of the victim after the criticism? We are in the media age of information explosion, when can we be quiet.
