never give up

Must give ten! More and more like to watch this kind of movie that exposes the darkness of society and human nature. I love this theme. The government and society that have been driven by money and power for a long time should be carefully examined under a magnifying glass, and it still serves as a warning now.

Let's talk about characters.

【Joffrey】

He was 35 that year. He gained 50 jins for this film and dyed his hair white.

I was afraid that he would commit suicide by jumping off a building, and I was afraid that I would cry miserably.

The family does not understand, the society is irrational, they are threatened with death every day, they risk being inexplicably seized in prison, and they are dug up for black history. He shouted: I was young and ignorant (probably the meaning of the lines)! I feel the same way. Who did nothing wrong when they were young?

Although Joffrey almost collapsed, he managed to hold on. A man with a weak heart but tough, the pitiful but firm eyes in the interview are really no one (forgot the screenshot, it's time to fight!)!

Life was already hard, and Joffrey's was even harder.

(I fell in love with Crowe after watching this film!)

The male god looks good when he is young! ! !
My God, little eyes!
Okay, the last one~

【Bergman】

Also my hero.

Don't eat the big boss's trick, don't bow down for five buckets of rice.

Angry youth is angry, haha~
The woman behind Bergman has always supported him

When he found out that his company was also dyed by the big dye vat, and he could no longer convince himself to ruin the next Joffrey's life again, he resolutely decided to resign!

The real Bergman later became a teacher and took it as his responsibility to transmit positive energy!

(Sorry, the famous Godfather trilogy has not yet been arranged. So although I have heard the name of Al Pacino for a long time, I am not very familiar with him. It must be arranged in the near future!!)

【Mike】

When I get older, of course my heart is full of blood, but I am also forced to compromise due to reality. But in fact, most people in real life are not as enthusiastic as the host. This is the life of ordinary people.

Finally, the subtitles showed that the two male protagonists in real life are now living in a certain place in the United States, etc. - In fact, I know in my heart that this is a real history, but I didn't expect it to be a biography of a real person, and I was still shocked. Grateful that there are such heroes in the world.

We may not be heroes like the two male protagonists. But I also hope that such heroes exist in our lives a lot, right? You can't be so rigid all the time, but you must always remember that when heroes need help, at least help them.

The back view of Bergman's last trench coat is so handsome! !

By the way, there is tension in the film, but it's not really a thriller. If you are as timid as I am, you can watch it with confidence!

I also recommend "Inside Job" by Ma's monologue. After watching the documentary about the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, you will be very shocked that human beings can really be unconscionable for personal gain! Not to mention the others, even the famous Harvard University was involved! Copy my film review at that time: There is no upper limit to earning money, but there is a bottom line to be a person!

wall! crack! push! recommend!

Finally, I will complain about the unqualified movie fans. I have seen a certain person in the comments under many classic movies saying that the movie is long, and the director and actors procrastinate because of their own creative ability. Have you ever thought about your own appreciation level?? It's understandable that you don't think it looks good, but each has its own love for radishes and vegetables. But it is not unreasonable that the film has received so much praise and won an award. You might just not be right for this type of movie. There is no fair comment on the subject matter/filming technique/actor's acting skills, it's just verbose. Have you ever thought that some long shots and directors have deep meanings and expressions in them, and every picture is carefully created by the director, producer, and photographer. You didn't see it yourself. Everyone has different experiences, different understandings of the same thing, and different preferences. Don't blame the film for being bad.

Trust me, the festival judges are not stupid. It's really ugly, I suggest you watch a suspense/action movie, that type may be more suitable for you. Inappropriate do not force.

(Originally I just wanted to write a short review, but Goose has expressed her desire to burst into the air recently, and she may have really seen a good movie.

So sleepy, I fell asleep~)

    Large-scale exposure of phoenix feathers and water chestnuts has almost disappeared after 10 years, but it is not uncommon to smear informants to reverse black and white. Except for the unified ideology, it is star teat music. The new world is really beautiful. Quit smoking.

    Michael Mann used a strong control to describe a news event calmly and without losing weight. He did not deliberately create a climax, but used a realistic atmosphere to promote the plot. He praised the perseverance and small individuals of journalists in revealing the truth. While fighting against giant companies, it also revealed some gray areas within the industry. The performances of the actors are also a big plus. Even if there are many close-ups, they can still stand the test.

The Insider quotes

  • Lowell Bergman: [Kluster demands that Wigand's interview be censored into an alternate version] I'm not touching my film.

    Eric Kluster: I'm afraid you are.

    Lowell Bergman: No, I'm not.

    Eric Kluster: We're doing this with or without you, Lowell. If you like, I can sign another producer to edit your show.

    Lowell Bergman: Uh, since when has the paragon of investigative journalism allowed LAWYERS to determine the news content on 60 Minutes?

  • Mike Wallace: You heard Mr. Sandefur say before Congress that he believed nicotine was not addictive.

    Jeffrey Wigand: I believe Mr. Sandefur perjured himself because I watched those testimonies very carefully.

    Mike Wallace: All of us did, and it was this whole line of people, whole line of CEOs up there, all swearing.

    Jeffrey Wigand: Part of the reason I'm here is that I felt that their representations clearly misstated - at least within Brown and Williamson's representation - clearly misstated what is common language within the company: "We are in the nicotine delivery business."

    Mike Wallace: And that's what cigarettes are for.

    Jeffrey Wigand: A delivery device for nicotine.

    Mike Wallace: A delivery device for nicotine. Put it in your mouth, light it up, and you're gonna get your fix.

    Jeffrey Wigand: You're gonna get your fix.

    Mike Wallace: You're saying that Brown and Williamson manipulates and adjusts the nicotine fix not by artificially adding nicotine but by enhancing the effect of nicotine through the use of elements such as ammonia?

    Jeffrey Wigand: The process is known as "impact boosting". While not spiking nicotine, they clearly manipulate it. There was extensive use of this technology known as "ammonia chemistry". It allows for the nicotine to be more rapidly absorbed in the lung and therefore affect the brain and central nervous system. The straw that broke the camel's back for me, and really put me in trouble with Sandefur, was a compound called coumarin. When I came on board at B. and W., they had tried the transition from coumarin to a similar flavor that would give the same taste, and had been unsuccessful. I wanted out immediately. I was told that it could affect sales, so I should mind my own business. I constructed a memo to Mr. Sandefur indicating I could not in conscience continue with coumarin, a product we now know and we had documentation was similar to coumadin, a lung-specific carcinogen.

    Mike Wallace: And you sent the documents to Sandefur?

    Jeffrey Wigand: I sent the documents forward to Sandefur. I was told that we would continue to work on a substitute but we weren't going to remove it as it would impact sales, and that was his decision.

    Mike Wallace: In other words, you were charging Sandefur and Brown and Williamson with ignoring health considerations consciously?

    Jeffrey Wigand: Most certainly.

    Mike Wallace: And on March 24th, Thomas Sandefur, CEO of Brown and Williamson, had you fired. And the reason he gave you?

    Jeffrey Wigand: "Poor communication skills."

    Mike Wallace: And you wish you hadn't come forward? You wish you hadn't blown the whistle?

    Jeffrey Wigand: Yeah, at times I wish I hadn't done it. There were times I felt compelled to do it. If you ask me would I do it again, do I think it's worth it? Yeah, I think it's worth it.
