The title translation is too difficult to understand, so put the title you understand in the title.
Although the film is a 51-year-old work, except for Chuuk's death and his repentance at the end, the story itself has surpassed the times, because human nature has never changed. Similar cases are easy to find today. For example, the photographer who only took pictures and refused to save people, causing the photographer to starve to death.
The reason why this film is classic is not only because of the theme, but the completeness and rigor of the script is even more surprising. The film details how a seasoned reporter ended up killing the target of his coverage through tying up his interests ~ Leo.
Writing this, I suddenly remembered the 2,000-year-old South Korean "Tunnel", which was very profound at the time. I didn't expect the same story to be filmed half a century ago.
Chuuk's own ability and ambition made it the first time he successfully met the victim and gained trust; then he successfully wooed the sheriff on the grounds of helping campaign propaganda and obtained exclusive interview rights; Ao's wife stayed and continued to play the role of a good wife who was loved by readers in her news, and ruthlessly rejected Leo's wife's courtship. After finding out that the situation was not good, she took the initiative to show her love; New York.
Of course, at the end of the story, Chuuk was defeated by his own conscience. But the turn wasn't abrupt, and Leo's performance and Chuuk's struggles were clearly conveyed.
Another interesting aspect of the film is the influx of tourists, similar to a funeral in China, which magically turns tragedy into a carnival. The fee at the entrance has risen from 50 cents to $1, songs are sung to tourists instead of Rio (suddenly reminded of the so-called tribute now), and there are even various entertainment activities such as the Ferris wheel.
Readers love, as Chuuk said, the adventures of one person, like Robinson. Readers treated serious journalism as a form of entertainment, and journalists like Chuuk were born. Perhaps from another angle, the dissatisfaction of all living beings with the bland reality and the desire for heroic legends gave birth to Chuuk.
