The intro to the movie is slow enough to make you sleepy, but the storyline and background music keep you going. The whole play revolves around the huge inside story of the tobacco company, knowing that nicotine is harmful to the human body, but selling nicotine under the guise of cigarettes. Hua Jiefu's resignation, intimidation, and suppression all happened to prove that the company's president at the time said that nicotine would not be addictive. One of my favorite episodes in the whole movie is when Hua Jiefu knew that he might face prison disaster when he returned to Kentucky, he still made the fuck he said when he was going to tell the truth, when his defense lawyer was opposed by the opposing party. When the lawyer protested again and again, Hua Jiefu's lawyer scolded the other party over and over again. He said, "Is there an echo here? Your protest record has been recorded. The recorder has already recorded it." When the lawyer of the other party emphasized that Hua Jiefu had signed a non-disclosure agreement requiring him not to disclose any relevant information, he also plausibly said: "we have right" Hua Jiefu's lawyer said: "you got rights, and left, upside, down and middle. ." He growled at him that this isn't anywhere. This is Mississippi, no snickering. And I just want his testimony, whether you are happy or not. Everyone was quiet for a while, and the camera gave Miss Recording a shot. At that time, she watched everything that happened in front of her, but she was still recording silently. Although I watched it at home, I couldn't help applauding when I saw such a plot, shouting for his justice and roaring. After several twists and turns, Hua Jiefu's interview was finally broadcast, and the public finally knew the ugly face of the tobacco company, but in the end, Bo Luowei, played by Al Pacino, resigned. Although Hua Jiefu returned to a normal life and taught at school, Tobacco companies also face huge payouts. I think this is the highest quality of journalists is to insist on showing the truth to the public when the whole world is against you. And whether we are facing public opinion in the society, the strange vision of others, the suppression of the company's top management or the incomprehension of the family, we should not destroy the brilliance of human nature. What remains at the end of the film is Al Pacino's back, which is also the epitome of journalists' constant exploration of the truth behind the TV.
