Ace in the hole

The title translates to an upside-down trump card, which I think is quite appropriate. Only those around the hole know what this trump card is. At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist is a person who is biased towards the opposite. He is a news reporter, a news reporter who has been fired from newspapers in major cities. He came to the small town just to find a news breaking point for himself, so that he can welcome home. Sure enough, it's a noir movie, so people can be angry and helpless. The problems that existed in the 1950s still exist, and because of the development of the Internet, it seems to be more serious. What does news exist for? People report whatever media they like to watch. Bad news is most popular because good news is not news... These lines are just spoken from the protagonist's mouth in understatement, but the tingling is not at all. Not a lot. I have always been a little disgusted with headline parties, big data, etc. This kind of vicious flattery to readers is really ugly. The ace at the end of the film died, and the male protagonist repented. Maybe he has always had a conscience, but he has always regarded the news as a tool for him to return to New York. He thought he could control everything, including saving the person who died within seven days, including Fulfill all his foolish ambitions.

    11th BJIFF No.21@小西天. An upside down trump card, betting on the lives of innocents. In the whole movie, perhaps only the trapped man and the doctor are innocent. We-media means that people are no longer just the melon eaters who drive here, move their fingers, and rush to the next playground where others’ pain is performed, and even end up at any time like reporters. Concocting and directing. Times are worse, so Wilder is sharper.

    Good news equals no news, bad news equals good news, a black fable about journalism ethics, which still wakes up future generations after 70 years, and is almost perfect in every aspect.
