The Insider

Look at that smirk, Bai Meisheng. Although Al's hair was always so messy, his stature was always so short, his temper was always so explosive, and his mouth was always full of swear words, but the charm became more and more profound. Suddenly, I felt that Al was always acting as a big man, with first-class professionalism, strong speaking skills, and neat suits. I want to see some small characters, like the ones in Dog Day Afternoon before, and it would be perfect to play a gay again. But now, who else can erase that domineering from Al Pacino, maybe not impossible, just too risky.

Speaking of Russell Crowe, I almost forgot the delicate emotion he played when I watched him play some brawny movies. "A Beautiful Mind" is a movie I watched a long time ago, but I saw it as a sci-fi movie at the time. Just looking at the special effects without looking at the expressions is really pulling a lot. In The Insider, Russell Crowe returns to the delicate and neurotic intellectual. All of a sudden, even the hair has turned yellowish, and a pair of glasses is really a scientist. The film digs more into Russell Crowe's character, about family responsibilities and more. Recalling the scene in the film where Al brought the host and the scientist couple to meet, the two were disturbed by the tobacco company. The host laughed loudly at their ability to withstand pressure, but Al said they were just normal people under huge pressure, do you still hope they remain graceful in this situation? The description of this part of the family is also the success of the film.

In addition, talking about the American press, the film hardly mentions the government once, there is no government action, and the culprits behind the scenes are only major group companies and financial interests. This is unimaginable in China. Public opinion is not a tool for government propaganda. This is called true freedom. By comparison, I can't help feeling a lot. In the film, Al also satirized that the New York Times is a newspaper whose interests are the highest ideal, but Chinese newspapers can only bow their heads to the government, not even taking into account their own interests. The work ethic of Al's character is something that all journalists should learn. It's invaluable.

Regarding the shots, there are many super close-ups in the film, half of the face fills the entire screen, and sometimes there are very shaky simulated rush shots. This aspect also reflects the news theme of the film, a very interesting visual experience.
