What was supposed to be a life-and-death rescue turned into a national carnival, initiated by a reporter named Chuck. Unemployed and struggling, Chuck seized the eye-catching entry point of the Indian soul revenge in the accident, setting off a frenzy of exploration across the United States. Everyone had their own ideas, and except for Leo's parents, no one really cared about the buried victim. The most ironic thing is journalists. The primary goal of these professionals who are supposed to report the facts, expose the truth, and guide the correct public opinion is how to attract people's attention. This is probably the embryonic form of paparazzi. Thinking of the photographer Carter who shot "The Hungry Sudan", after he won the Pulitzer Prize, there were more accusations against him. No one knew the story behind the photos. The accusations made him choose Self-execution, just like the indifference to life and crazy carnival of the people in the film indirectly killed Leo. It can be said that Leo's death was not caused by Chuck alone. It was a massacre of the whole people. means. At the last moment, Chuck's goodness of humanity overcame desire, but there was no room for manoeuvre in this farce. Leo exhausted all his hopes and died, and Chuck also paid the price of his life. There is no shortage of goodness in this world. A mother who prays all day long, a father who runs around to rescue her son, a tourist who questions the rescue plan, a newspaper president who still has a conscience, these few good things have been drowned in the evil. The Leo Rescue fundraising sign on the floor of the accident, which had recovered from the farce, stabbed the viewers' eyes.

Finally, I was curious whether Billy Wilder's film was boycotted by reporters when it was released. In China, a director named Cai Chusheng was shot by a new woman just because there was a negative image of a tabloid reporter in the film. The Shanghai Press Association resisted and attacked, demanding an apology from the crew across the country, and incidentally dragged Ruan Lingyu into the water.

    3.5 stars. It feels like an anticlimactic, the front is full of black and irony, and the group portraits are well portrayed and dispatched, but at the back, it came to Taiton's conscience. Maybe he wanted to show the good and evil sides of his heart, but I hope to see black to the end. direction. The film uses an exaggerated way to show the people who eat melons chasing hot spots and consume victims in various ways. This is not uncommon today. However, it is a little less portrayed in the aspect of Taiton making up stories to attract attention, and the focus of the film is mainly It lies in Taiton's behavior and changes in his heart, rather than through Taiton's more profound demonstration of the inciting effect of newspapers on the masses.
