Irrelevant movies, scribbles

A long time ago, when I was writing and I couldn't write, my first reaction when I saw this film was a panic, and then, the sadness from the bones.

What scared me was not the story in the movie, but the story in reality. It turns out that many so-called journalism workshops in the world are facing the same operational dilemma, no matter where in the world or how many years apart they are.

At the time the story happened, the Internet was still a new thing, and Forbes Digital was still a master of snatching manuscripts from the paper media, and it has already turned upside down. But I want to say that the days have passed for a long time, the technology has been updated many times, and the unpleasant problems of people have really not changed at all.

I hate the clever master in the film who meets people, talks to people, talks to ghosts and speaks nonsense without a word of truth, and I totally dislike him, along with people like him. Not only didn't like it, but also never came anywhere. Nevertheless, I do not deny that only people like Glass can survive, only people like Glass can survive in the real media environment, and only people like them can rely on the reputation and rewards of a steady stream of lies. Write down the so-called news article by article.

As for whether what they wrote is true or not, whether they respect the facts, his editor does not care, his reader does not care, in the words of someone who educates me, "You only care, but you care so seriously, who else Care about you?"

I sometimes fall into a kind of despair (this kind of despair is often accompanied by the arrival of deadlines, spreading hands), I often think, if we admit that in the cruel state of survival in the media, only Glass can earn enough to make a living. , To survive, only Glass can win the eyes of readers, and to continue writing, only Glass can have the opportunity to get in touch with one after another, more and more news topics, continue this work, then, can write words Isn’t that Glass? How to write tomorrow’s news and what kind of content people will see? Isn’t that someone like Glass? If Pulitzer engraved on a stone tablet, the future of the next generation of news, isn’t it? Is it in the hands of someone like Glass? Should we thank them for providing so much influential news to the world, even if it is not true?

Every time I think of such discouraged facts, the words of another boss will ring again: Keep up to yourself. You'll get paid off.
(I think I can keep going, that is, relying on the words of the beautiful boss. a.)

this paid off, as is the movie's ending as, Glass such a person would be more than his conscience editor kick out, he will not defend him and no longer condone him, he respected the fact that, The fact that Glass was not allowed to insult the news that should be regarded as life stopped the farce. In other words, when the truth prevails, your persistence will be rewarded.

Oh, my dear, before the truth wins, you have to fight an indomitable battle with the glass party like the mud in the swamp pond! Good-hearted people will tell you that time may not be short, it probably occupies 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of the time~

So, I understand from the bottom of my heart the hardships faced by the fat reporter in the film. She almost has to stay in 99.999999. Subverted her own judgment, she reflected in confusion, it should not be that the environment was wrong, was that I was wrong? She awkwardly wanted to learn the rules of the game that reversed black and white, so the female editor calmly said to her, you don't write fun, she also retorted with a glimmer of hope, I can write fun. It's funny, a little funny.

I really want to hug her and tell her, You don't have to write fun. I like your report. I don't care about fun. I only care about FACTS.

However, no one can give her such a hug. If there is such a positive feedback in the world, there will not be so many glasses. I always feel that anyone with a conscience will not be Glass once they enter the industry. There are only two ways to end this matter. Either leave with a conscience or stay with Glass. If you haven't, then you are hesitating. Anyone who has taken the third way can count it with his fingers.

It's really frustrating to say, so how important it is to say that the small environment should not be smoky. There are naive colleagues around me, clenched fists, staring eyes and raising arms, shouting "Don't give up, stick to the end", but I'm really tired. I don’t have time to believe this kind of rhetoric that belongs to adolescents. I need practical logic and practical countermeasures. I have no countermeasures yet, only a way out that is so vague as to see no end.

Before I implement this countermeasure, this kind of unshakable distress may still accompany me from time to time, biting my heart. So even though I like this movie very much, but when I turn on the player, I get a headache, because there are Glass everywhere in the movie, from beginning to end, but in reality, his figure is everywhere, and it’s hard to watch a movie. Have to face him, why is this necessary?
