Front Press: This video has been in stock for a long time - it feels like a long time, but it's actually less than half a year. I've always wanted to share it, but I don't know how to start. Because there is so much to say...

story

In 1997, investigative journalist and author Marie Brenner published the reportage "Richard Jewell's Lament" in the famous American lifestyle magazine "Vanity Fair". It tells the story of Richard Jewell, the security guard who discovered the bomb device in the bombing of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, from the halo hero to the prime suspect in a few days - the film of the same name is based on the fact, Christmas 2019. Released in the United States during the festival.

During the Olympic Games, interim security Richard Jewell found the bomb backpack in the park, and due to his diligent and diligent efforts to evacuate the crowd, the explosion caused no serious casualties. Just as Richard Jewell was shone by the "real superhero" halo, he was also under investigation by the FBI.

When the news of the "suspect in the self-directed bombing" came out, Richard Jewell's life situation can be imagined. Six years later, Richard Jewell learned that the real criminal had confessed the facts of the crime. It was far less than when he heard that the FBI had withdrawn his suspicions about him half a year later. He was so aggrieved and burst into tears.

To crack a case, it is normal for the FBI to collect evidence and investigate secretly no matter who it suspects. What is abnormal is to release information about the suspect.

The reporter who doesn't care about the truth and only seeks out the best information seduces the detective, and successfully wins the attention of the world - when the hot spot cools down and the traffic disappears, Richard Jewell's life continues, with torment and nightmares... Just like netizens A shrewd comment: "law enforcement officers violated regulations, media professionals abandoned their professionalism, and as a result innocent people paid for their mistakes".

If the movie "Richard Jewell's Lamentation" is not based on fact, will the ending of the film put the victim of the incident, Richard Jewell, in prison, and never turn over?

In fact, in June 1999, the journalist who revealed Richard Jewell was the perpetrator was indicted for refusing to reveal his source. Later, because Richard Jewell was finally cleared of suspicion, the female reporter who achieved short-lived achievements by that irresponsible report died due to long-term physical and mental stress and guilt. She was only 42 years old when she died.

director

Clint Eastwood is affectionately called "Eastwood" because the surnames East and Wood are literally translated as "East" and "Wood". Dongmu is a veteran Hollywood actor, screenwriter, director, musician and producer. He is 90 years old this year.

When Dongmu was an actor, he liked to play a western cowboy - he himself has the nickname of "urban cowboy" and is one of the most popular tough guy stars. After becoming a director, in recent years, he likes to adapt stories to the big screen based on facts, and gradually tends to perform biographies for civilian heroes, such as "Captain Sully", "15:17, Departure for Paris", "American Sniper" "and many more. Sometimes he also acts, writes, directs and acts, like "The Mule" (also based on fact, this time he plays a poor and sluggish old man who seeks to make a living as a mule for drug dealers to transport drugs...)—— Well, when he was almost ninety years old, it was true that the sword was not old, and he was able to continuously release excellent works.

If I have to live that long, and I can still take care of myself by then, I will feel that I am already very good!

Clint Eastwood, this ambitious Eastwood, a mighty old man! It's amazing!

Reality

There is a line in "Richard Jewell's Lamentation": If someone like me is wronged and arrested, will someone come forward in a similar situation in the future...

In reality, what should be done for people who have suffered grievances, drowned in unjust, false and wrongful convictions?

Ten years ago, in the 1510 Tribe, I once commented on Nie Bin's sister's grievances and grievances for her brother. At that time, I had just started to contact the Internet. I thought the world was very bright. I read Nie Shubin's relatives and friends first. I appealed, and then I saw Sister Nianbin's statement... I am an angry youth myself, and then I thought how could the impartial law enforcement agencies frame an individual casually, or some other factor. Apologize for this.

It wasn't until the facts became transparent and more and more similar incidents were disclosed that I realized my naivety and stupidity. Since then, I have kept telling myself not to comment on things and information I don't understand - but I still can't do it, and I keep telling myself over and over again.

Now, I try to hold myself in awe, hoping to be soft in texture. When the information is unclear and the egg and the stone confront each other, if you have to choose a position, you might as well let yourself choose the side of the egg first.

Once again, I apologize to Sister Nianbin for the inappropriate words I said before! I also sincerely express my blessings to Nian Bin, who has been cleared of the calamity of injustice! At the same time, I also apologize to the people I have hurt, intentionally or not!
