Classmate, is this your virginity?

The guy is so handsome. If he looks a little bit ugly and special, he should have won an early fame and won the prize. This film is absolutely terrific, and he is a natural actor. Although in the past few years as Yishui, I followed the trend of the same type of biographical movies of liars, compared to the cat and mouse game line, the stretched too long made me drowsy, and some of the plots were too weird. This film about news practitioners making fake news is much easier to understand in terms of plot, and it is not a state where the liar has everything under his control in terms of characterization. But the shooting skills, editing, and actor performance have basically reached the extreme. The atmosphere is perfect and impeccable.

Regarding deception, I have the following point of view: In fact, most liars are not clever in their deception in life, but the people are stupid, and being deceived because of their greed is not worthy of sympathy. Liars who rob the rich and help the poor are also heroes. But most scammers are essentially making money and deceiving sex. This kind of low-level scam is like making money and then living. Treat deception as a way of survival. This kind of liar has nothing to say.

A little bit higher, like Tang Jun, although fame and fortune were deceived, fame and fortune are still serving the money. What a pity, the deception has reached a certain height, and still can't get out of the box of pursuing money. The higher level is Mr. Li Hongzhi, who is practicing qigong. The taboo he commits is called chasing power. Like a generation of eminent monk Xuanzang, life and death are aside from life and death, and money is dung. If you want to lie to the world, lie to yourself first. If you are stunned, you are Jesus Sakyamuni. I am a Buddha, so why not attract thousands of believers!

The personality performance of this movie is really great. If Du Qifeng, who pretends to be a B-boy, is allowed to shoot, it will definitely be a crime of high IQ. Spielberg will definitely escape when he comes to shoot. But the interpretation of this movie really caught my heart! At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist returned to school like a successful person to teach his life experience to his younger brothers and sisters. Gradually, as the story flashed back again and again, the life experience he told fell out of the normal track until he lost control. Teachers and classmates disappeared in the movie. Where is the only male protagonist left to tell. This last plot detached the character at once.

The true meaning of a liar, when there is only oneself, even oneself must deceive! This is like the famous words of Comrade Liu Jinguo, the Deputy Minister of Public Security who has just moved China: "If it is pretending, then we Communists will pretend and pretend to die. Isn't this true?" The male protagonist in the film is also true. In this way, it is not for money or fame and fortune, but only for the world created by oneself. The editor-in-chief who debunked the liar won applause and respect, and the male protagonist continued to do whatever he wanted in his fantasy world.

This is a natural liar, the ironic subtitles appear at the end of the story, and the male protagonist becomes a legal worker! Although the title of the film is not very appropriate, it is used to tell the content of the film is already the best. It's just that what he wants to cover up is by no means as simple as his own mistakes. Every drop of his tears is true. As for truth and falsity? Some of these stories that I have imagined have already happened. The promises of politicians often turn into empty talk.

The pretenders continue to pretend, and I have abandoned everything.

PS
"Hey, classmate, is this the virginity you lost?"
"Yes, thank you, but I don't need it anymore."
"En? There is a future!"

    The front desk said a very simple way to avoid mistakes: leave a photo of each interviewer. Before wondering why the attentive editors of the New Republic can't figure it out, it's better to think about who doesn't like a story with ups and downs, even if it's a serious news report.

    Hayden's film that honed his acting skills did not get him more praise, but he couldn't perform well, which made this drama very good.

Shattered Glass quotes

  • Stephen Glass: I'm so dead. I mean, I'm over. Nobody's ever going to hire me again, are they? I was so sloppy trusting my sources like that... and then lying about it. And to Chuck, of all people. I mean, the one guy who's hated me all along.

    Michael Kelly: [talking on the stairs inside the lobby of his office building] I'm sure that none of this is personal.

    Stephen Glass: No? Chuck keeps a list in his head... everybody who's a "Michael Kelly" person. A couple of times, I said some things I shouldn't have said... about you. So now I'm on it. That's why he's so set on killing me now.

    Michael Kelly: Well, I have to tell you, Steve, he's within his rights. The things you did were fireable offenses.

    Stephen Glass: I know. I'm not saying that they weren't. I did some terrible, terrible things. But believe me, Michael, Chuck doesn't care about any of it. It's my loyalty to you that he's punishing me for.

  • Stephen Glass: [Speaking to Mrs. Duke's students] I'd like to pause for a moment. You can't really go into the world of journalism without first understanding how a piece gets edited at a place like TNR. This is the system that Michael Kelly brought with him from The New Yorker, a three day torture test. If your article is good, the process will only make it better. If your article is shaky, you're in for a long week. A story comes in, and it goes to a senior editor. He or she edits it on computer then calls in the writer, who makes revisions. Then the piece goes to a second editor, and the writer revises it again. Then it goes through a fact-check where every fact in the piece, every date, every title, every place or assertion is checked and verified. Then the piece goes to a copy editor where it is scrutinized once again. Then it goes to lawyers, who apply their own burdens of proof. Marty looks at it, too. He's very concerned with any kind of comment the magazine is making. Then production takes it and lays it out in columns inches and type. Then it goes back on paper, then back to the writer, back to the copy editor, back to editor number one and editor number two, back to the fact-checker, back to the writer, and back to production again. Throughout, those lawyers are reading and rereading, looking for red flags, anything that feels uncorroborated. Once they're satisfied, the pages are reprinted, and it all happens again. Every editor, the fact-checkers, they all go through it one last time. Now, most of you will start out as interns somewhere. And interns do a lot of fact-checking. So pay close attention. There is a hole in the fact-checking system. A big one. The facts in most pieces can be checked against some type of source material. If an article is on, say, Ethanol subsidies, you can check for discrepancies against the congressional record, trade publications... LexisNexis, footage from C-SPAN. But on other pieces, the only source material available are the notes provided by the reporter himself.
