The following is a confrontation between the producer of "Sixty Minutes" and the interviewee in the film.

++++++++++++++

- I'm just your product, right? Only the copies that appear between advertisements.

-We are all commodities to TV companies. You are more important to me than the commodity. When 30 million people hear what you say. Everything, everything will be different, do you believe it?

-Do not believe.

- You should believe it. Because after you finish speaking, public opinion will naturally decide. This is your power.

- do you believe it?

- do I believe it? letter.

-You believe that one word can make a difference.

- Exactly.

- Maybe it's your own reason to rate yourself as having a good job. Status and status. Maybe TV audiences are all voyeurs. Maybe nothing will change. And we are useless and useless. Abandoned, thrown aside.

- are you talking to me? Or speak to others?

-You do not understand.

- You don't question me, or the quality of the show.

- I'm betting on the happiness of my family. What are you betting on? Just a few words?

-a few words? While you're leisurely golfing, I'm out and about. Back up every word I report with facts.

There is something called a standard made by people. There are very few people who can do it.

60 Minutes is such a standard thing.

And this movie tells the story of "60 Minutes", based on a real case.



At least in this movie, I saw a journalistic standard.

The business is exquisite, adheres to the principle, has the strategy, and has the courage.

Al Pacino really fits that profile.

In "The Insider", he once again successfully shaped the image of a news godfather.

This is a goal worth pursuing for a lifetime, and perhaps it will never be able to reach that level in a lifetime.

In our environment, perhaps we will never be able to be the fourth power as the American media.

But how can you not cry because your voice is so small?

Even the darkness of the whole world, the whole universe, cannot make a candle lose its proper brilliance.

    A classic Hollywood commercial based on true events, it objectively recreates a difficult moral war with impeccable cinematography, music and performance. Freedom of the press and even human rights are relative. In some places, it can be defended by the courage and ability that individuals lack. In some places, it has gradually become impossible to pursue or defend it, especially when excessive centralization and self-interest coexist. Below is a barren society without moral angst.

    Two movie stars I like very much, but I don’t like the film very much. It can be felt from the movie that Americans respect the individual. It is a shady, but can Nima be a shady in China?

The Insider quotes

  • Sharon Tiller: You won.

    Lowell Bergman: Yeah? What did I win?

  • Lowell Bergman: You pay me to go get guys like Wigand, to draw him out. To get him to trust us, to get him to go on television. I do. I deliver him. He sits. He talks. He violates his own fucking confidentiality agreement. And he's only the key witness in the biggest public health reform issue, maybe the biggest, most-expensive corporate-malfeasance case in U.S. history. And Jeffrey Wigand, who's out on a limb, does he go on television and tell the truth? Yes. Is it newsworthy? Yes. Are we gonna air it? Of course not. Why? Because he's not telling the truth? No. Because he is telling the truth. That's why we're not going to air it. And the more truth he tells, the worse it gets!
