of the movie "Focus" /The wheat keeper
has always had two career aspirations, radio DJ, or journalist.
The former probably likes to listen to other people's confession, but also likes one's own confession. At midnight, abandon the noise and talk about the pain and happiness of life with others in the quietest moments.
The latter likes the news investigation of the "Uncrowned King", investigates the truth behind the incident, returns the right to know to the people, and seeks justice and integrity.
Not long ago, civil rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang was tried in private, which made many Chinese lawyers and citizens with conscience. At the same time, they used the Korean movie "The Defender" to support Puyue.
In a country where one cannot speak too much, the so-called intelligent life is to be smooth and learn to shut up.
It's just that a person who often learns to shut up, waits until his own interests are damaged, and often clamors the most frenzied, but it is of no avail.
Because the surroundings are still silent.
Therefore, in the story shown in the movie "Focus", in a country of faith like the United States, the church has the supremely respected status. According to the movie: "They control everything." According to China's national conditions, although they are neither bureaucrats nor Fidelity, they are also a veritable privileged class. How to report a child molestation case involving 90 people?
In the process of watching movies, I often think about conspiracy theories or current national conditions. With the power of the newspaper, directly challenging the authority of the church, will they encounter power, intimidation or even assassination? Obviously, lobbying is a phenomenon in any country. However, restriction by rights is also a phenomenon that exists in any country with classes. However, thanks to the spirit of the US Constitution, the independent reporting rights of newspapers, and their unique responsibilities for tracking and interpretation of journalists, have become the key to the continuous investigation and investigation of the case.
The performance of Mark Ruflow, Michael Keaton, and Rachel McAdams, to a great extent, completes the restoration of the temperament of newspaper members. The "Focus" investigative team under the "Boston Globe" specializes in digging into the hidden news of society and urging the society as the proposition. The reported incidents, from the tofu residue project, to the corruption of human rights, and the "priest sexual assault on young children" in the movie, are all news incidents they are involved in and bravely speak up. The United States does not have a news censorship system. Even if it encounters sensitive news, although there is a judge's review of case material investigations, as long as it does not violate the free spirit of the Constitution, it can be independently investigated and published. Moreover, the most important thing is that in a democratic and free country, all newspapers are based on the behavior of individuals and the people. Even the official media must use the interests of the people as their reporting criteria. This is probably why the full-time government should kill the key to the media’s control of media discourse in the first place.
The film is almost in the form of a documentary, recording the focus group's collection, interviews, editing, and obstacles, and how to complete news research in detail. Reporters are different from police, and newspapers are also different from police stations. The media has broader and more convenient resources and forms the authority to supervise the society and the government. News supervision, supplemented by legal containment, is the best way to limit government dictatorship and power corruption. This is probably the first signal of democracy in any dictatorship, which is the reason for the lifting of the ban on newspapers.
For reporters, the meaning of "Uncrowned King" is to find the truth and return the people's right to know the situation.
So it is easy to think of domestic milk powder, waste oil, Tianjin explosion and so on. In many major domestic events, it seems that reporters can only become a copying agency that accepts government language procedures and publishes procedures. Under the powerful castration review mechanism, you can still learn to speak humanity and stick to morals. I think it is very difficult to achieve.
At the end of the movie, Robbie Robinson, the leader of the focus group played by Keaton, watched the newspaper walk from the factory to the whole city. I think this should be the most memorable time for media people. When the incident was reported, the focus group was instantly blown up by various victims' film calls. This is the power of the media. Its voice is enough to give the weak a strong belief and participate in the punishment of evil. Such a voice is bound to give many people who are afraid of terrorizing the powerful and fighting against bullying with strength.
This is probably the greatest value and significance of being a journalist.
People often say in justice incidents, everyone understands this matter, why do you insist on speaking out?
What I want to say is that since you all understand, but choose blindness and silence, I believe that such people, like those who make falsehoods and incidents, are all harmers to this society and the country.
Since we are citizens of a society, we are all obligated to speak out unfairly. Even in the face of a powerful state apparatus, we cannot do more or change more.
But at least, we should stick to our little glimmer, because the righteous will never lose followers.
If there is no lighthouse, how to attract more people to travel with you.
"Sometimes it is easy to forget that most of the time we are in the dark. After the lights are suddenly on, everyone has to face the blame. "It
is always easy for a person to have wisdom, but learning to speak is not easy.
