I admit that I was attracted by the cast when I first saw the American drama "The Morning News". "Friends" Jennifer Anniston, "Legal Blonde" Reese Witherspoon, "The Office" Steve Carel. Not to mention the familiar green leaves, such as Evelyn's husband in "The Femme Maid", Simone's husband Carl and his gay man in "Deadly Woman", and the dog-loving headmaster in "Wayne".
After watching the plot, I feel that it is really fragrant. Although there is a sense of overpowering, it is still an American drama worthy of recommendation.
Steve Carel plays Mitch, the protagonist of the exposed sex scandal; Anniston plays Mitch's female partner Alex; Witherspoon plays the righteous host Bradly. The story begins when Mitch, a well-known anchor in the industry, is reported to have used his power to sexually assault a female subordinate.
The whole play basically revolves around three lines of Alex, Bradly and Mitch.
The first line is Alex, always wanting to change the status quo and regain the initiative, so she preemptively announces Bradly as her new partner, and establishes herself in the process of the radio company No. 1 Fredo and No. 2 Cory fighting for power and profit .
The second line is Bradly, who was discovered by UBC executives because of a video of scolding people in a coal mine. She went from a poor person who was about to lose her job to a well-known female anchor overnight, but she always insisted on being herself and exposed things at any time. the truth.
The third line is Mitch, who has been running to pave the way for his return to the workplace and insists that there was never a so-called sexual assault, and it was all voluntary by these women. As the protagonist of all this, Mitch has always been plausible. Maybe he thinks he is different from those fat-headed bosses. He is elegant, he has talent, he has rights, he is the sun, and he naturally attracts these women. attention, so there is love between them, and there is no workplace hunting.
What a shameful and high-sounding reason. There is also a clever point in the play, using this famous sentence to defend himself and win Chip to stand for himself, how ironic.
"They came to the rapist at first, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a rapist;
Then they come to the powerful and you don't speak up because you are not powerful;
But what do you do when they come for an ordinary flatterer like you, Chip"
Around the three lines, it also talks about the friendship between the two female anchors Alex and Bradly, how the workplace environment that tolerates sexual assault hotbeds is formed, and the lives of the little shrimp and fish affected by the sexual assault incident.
Of course, the two heroines, Alex and Bradly, have too strong personalities in the characters played in the play.
A so-called pursuit of truth without limits; a so-called understanding of the rules of the era of male power.
Strictly speaking, "Morning News" is not a workplace drama, so apart from the front and back of the anchor station, the whole drama is more like a live broadcast of a large-scale workplace tearing caused by the "me too" incident. It's only when someone dies in this battle that people really stop and think and think about everything.
In the end, when Hannah, who was originally going to break the news on the TV station, committed suicide, the two female anchors began to wake up. Bradly felt that he was being too aggressive and that he would do anything for the truth to kill the poor girl; Alex felt that he couldn't take it any longer and that tragedies like Hannah should not be allowed to repeat. Therefore, it is rare for the two of them to agree on a program together to reveal the truth.
So the truth is that UBA executives have always acquiesced in the occurrence of sex scandals, and even when the victim came to ask for help, she chose to be promoted to shut her up and hold back everything.
You see capital is like this, I don't care about right or wrong, justice or not, I only see if I can make a profit, I only see if I can get the smallest loss.
At the end of the story, the angry leader and the cut-off live broadcast.
If this happened in real life, we can imagine how much public opinion it would cause.
So without Hannah's suicide, without Bradly's persistence, without Alex's awakening, and without the help of TV station staff, all this would not have changed.
There are still countless Hannahs in places like UBA radio who suffer in silence. Over time, people will acquiesce. This is the case in the workplace. If you want to get a promotion and a raise, then you have to give something. You see, isn't this an easy, happy, and win-win situation?
Perhaps it is only when the worst happens that people's consciences will be awakened.
When you are hurt, as long as you are alive, it doesn't matter, it means you can bear it.
It's only when you die that people realize how bad things are, my conscience can't take it anymore.
All of it is only based on the sacrifice of countless people.
Where you can't see, there will always be someone who will carry the burden for you, and there will always be someone who sticks to the passion and justice in your heart.
