So, in my opinion, Rachel's position principle is untenable. In the film, Rachel repeatedly uses the First Amendment of the US Constitution as her defense. Liberal laws, but that doesn't justify a journalist who leaks state information at will. After watching the film, I did some research and learned that the freedom of the press as a defensive right is not an absolute right; rather, as an external right, even academic theories that support the media hold that When the right to freedom of the press is in conflict with the privacy rights of others, it is necessary to individually judge and weigh which side is important in each case, and there is no so-called freedom of the press that must take precedence.
In this incident, because of Rachel's report, the death of the female agent was ultimately caused, so her actions were morally and humanly untenable. As for her refusal to reveal the identity of the informant, it is even more useless. Sooner or later, the daughter of the female agent will know that she indirectly killed her mother, and will regret it for the rest of her life; but if she speaks out, no one will be punished by law.
So, I think freedom of the press is important, but those rules that cannot be violated are absolutely not to be violated. Press freedom isn't everything, and doing things like Rachel's is obviously wrong in the first place.
In my opinion this movie tells a pointless and sad thing. It's just a pity that the female agent died because of Rachel's stupidity and ruined two families.
