This is an "unspeakable" story, and the heroine Rachel never told a single person who the informant who told the Sun reporter the shocking secret was. After the whole scene, the audience is as anxious as the special judge in the movie, because we also want to know who is worthy of her suffering so much to defend, even though we know that people must defend morality, principles, promise that others can't say, Just can't say. In fact, Rachel was never the one to be shaken. It was her husband, the newspaper's chief lawyer, and finally her own defense lawyer who was shaken. From her first day in the detention center, her husband (halo, ross and rachel) has persuaded her that it must be over before everything starts to get crazier, that the informant must be betrayed and the family reunited. Next is the newspaper's lawyer, the heartthrob in the ER. He said that the informant should have foreseen the consequences from the moment he decided to inform, and he said that Rachel should no longer protect him. It was her defense attorney Albert who finally persuaded her, in which he mentioned: "No matter how well-respected a person was and how much charitable work he had done in his life, but when he died, he attended his funeral. The number of people depends on the weather of the day." He said that the general environment has changed, and the media are no longer chasing the truth as before, they are more inclined to the side of the government. He advised Rachel to make a pointless sacrifice. In the end, she did not say that even though she was detained in the detention center for a whole year, it did not shake her original intention. The only thing Rachel felt guilty about was her son, and she said she wouldn't have done it if she had foreseen things that would separate her from her son.
Here, let's put the most sensitive topics first. Let's take a look at the two women in the film first. In addition to Rachel, the main line in the film, I think Erica is also a remarkable character. In fact, both of them are sticking to their own principles. Rachel insists on the most appropriate quality of a journalist, which is the supremacy of the truth; while Erica insists on her loyalty to the country, even though she has been doubted by many parties. , said that she was the most likely person to tell the truth. She was not trusted by her husband and her superiors, and she did not simply shake everything out, such as accepting an interview or something, and simply came to a lose-lose situation with the government. Her death came as a surprise and deepened Rachel's guilt as a mother. Of course, when Erica died, we didn't know the whistleblower's identity, we just thought Rachel felt very, very sorry for Alison as a mother. And when the last set of scenes was broadcast, it was not difficult for us to understand what kind of pressure the informant would be under if she spoke out about the informant. Therefore, I attribute Rachel's tight-lippedness to two reasons: First, it is a well-known principle issue. If she discloses her informant, it means that she has betrayed all the principles of faith, and she will not report to the newspaper from the informant in the future. The media also cannot play the role of public opinion pressure. In the words of Barrister Albert, it is: "As a country, when we no longer have the ability to restrain the power in the hands of those in power, when the government no longer fears any responsibility, it will What kind of country will it become?". And because of Rachel's guilt towards her son, she was even more reluctant to live with Alison carrying the shadow of her mother's death when she was a child.
There is a very thought-provoking dialogue in the film, which is a dialogue between Rachel and Albert in the judge's study. At the time, Albert said, your follow-up had stopped months ago. That's very real, this is a real society, and no one seems to be making continuous reports on a "story" that defends the truth. New news happens every day, like here, how much can we remember the past? Those mine disasters, those milk powder, and those collapsed houses were all covered by a new round of news. In the end, we'll forget everything, and in the end, what's the difference between us and animals that don't have feelings?
