Truth comes first

Fictional stories based on real events in the United States show the conflict between journalists and the state apparatus.

Keywords: CIA, National Security, Source (news clues, source), 1st amendment of the constitution.

Background event: Valerie Plame Case

did not know the background when I watched it. It was a little confused. I only felt that the story was a bit pretentious and deep, and the whole tone was too gray. Depressed, although starring Kate Beckinsale worked very hard, it was still not as impressive as Vera Farmiga, which has not many scenes. There are no shortage of stars in the rest of the supporting roles, and they all performed well.

After understanding the background, I feel that the starting point of the story is a bit strange.

"Nothing But the Truth" is like listening to the fourth-best debater in middle school present a term paper called "Politics, Power and the Media." (KYLE SMITH from New York Post)

    Politics, policy, rights and power, ethics and principles. Such a deep topic is actually so catchy. Kate finally got rid of the vase.

    Before I saw the ending, I had the urge to give 5 stars. It not only involved the rights and obligations of the news media, but also saw the changes in everyone's life under the national security politics, without losing the realization of family and women's rights. I was very pleased to see this film on the 12th reporter's day. It's best to see the ending, and I want to give the movie 6 stars! The movie with a long ending gives a feeling of lingering sound. The world is complicated, it’s too difficult to hold on to anything
