A lot of things that touched me in "Truth Comes First"

I watched a movie, translated in Chinese as "Truth Comes First". I admired the heroine very much during the watching process. In order to defend the rights of reporters to conceal their sources, I never let go. Many points were touched.

1. As a mother who loves her child deeply, she has to gradually accept that the child does not love herself so much, and even loses the custody of the child later. When the prosecutor used her identity as the mother of her child to stimulate her to persecute her, she said , in this society, if a man leaves his family and goes to prison for keeping his promise, everyone praises a man who leaves a child to do something right, and people build a monument for him, but if a mother does that , people will think she is a monster? ! Even in the future, when doing things, I will be concerned about whether the mother may have a nervous breakdown because of the child. Well said! I think it is commendable that a mother loves her children. It is a kind of spontaneous delicacy and strength of women, but this should not be a means used by society to blackmail women, nor should it be forced by society to do so.

2. The prosecutor claimed that he must find the person who leaked the state secrets (that is, the person who leaked the identity of the CIA agent), saying that it was his job and his responsibility, Rachel said, I think you got the right and the wrong power, I don't remember this paragraph clearly, but I admire the heroine's sobriety.

3. What the heroine's lawyer said in the Supreme Court is very meaningful. If the right of the reporter to defend the source is not guaranteed, if Rachel speaks the source, then no one will provide information to her and her newspaper. If The same goes for other reporters, so who will provide the information? How do we know if there are officers who are abusing prisoners, and whether the president has concealed something? If he is unable to restrain the rights of those in power, the consequences will be,

3. The most shocking thing is the end! ! I finally understood, and finally realized with empathy, how can I confess who said it? It was said by a cute little girl inadvertently. Do you want the little girl to know that she indirectly caused her mother to be shot and killed? ? Maybe she will come to the realization, but Rachel absolutely cannot say that this is a choice she has to make as a mother to protect another child even if she wants to leave her own child. Some clues have also been confirmed,

4. One more point, will the legalization of guns make it easier for people to have evil thoughts? The little girl's mother gave good guidance, but was killed by extremists, and killed by such a trembling bum, it's not worth it Oh, too,,, life is precious, once in a lifetime, hey, life shouldn't be plundered so easily,
