I originally thought it was a movie that exposed the dark side of politics, and I gave it four stars at most. In the end, I watched it all the way, but it was a movie that tortured my soul, and I decided to give it five stars.

The plot was not complicated at the beginning. When the heroine got the material to expose the political shady, after some internal debate in the newspaper, she decided to publish it. Before the publication, the heroine found Erica, the reclusive former agent and the mother of her son's classmates. The face-to-face communication seemed to have hidden feelings, and it was conceivable that they broke up unhappily. With the publication of the newspaper article, the rhythm of the plot accelerated, the government dispatched a powerful special prosecutor, who placed national security above the freedom of the press, and continued to exert strong pressure. explained). No matter what kind of system, the past and the future exist, the political topics involved in this film will not be discussed for the time being. At this time, the director began to "abuse" the heroine. The prison environment is the beginning of a nightmare for white-collar women. Although he seemed to win respect through a live media interview, he still encountered prison violence; the family was broken, and the husband couldn't bear it. I am lonely and my son is estranged; although I have won some support from my peer media, it is no longer a hot topic as the litigation time stretches, and people are always forgetful; the newspaper has hired the best lawyers, but still compromised , the old lawyer is a highlight in the movie. He was convinced by the heroine's spirit, and even if it was free, he would fight the lawsuit for her. Even the old judge played the emotional card, which led to a short release from prison, but the ruthless prosecutor The officer (representing ZF) still used the judicial system to send the heroine to prison again and formally sentenced her. The second half of the film has been torturing the hearts of the viewers, is it worth fighting against ZF and ZD for the sake of professional integrity and human tenacity, especially if it is a woman, how many people are there? This woman is so stubborn if she can't give in! We watch the tragedy in reverence, and the individual fate is crushed in the cruel reality. Finally, through the lens of the film, the audience is told the mystery that has been hidden all the time. Such a fascinating ending will also make people connect with the fate line of the former agent Erika. There are also small details and dialogues to taste in the film, such as the couple having sex in prison, Erika's death, etc., arresting people throughout the process.
