I'm talking about the plot.

This is a social film based on a real case. The focus of the story is on press freedom. The film challenges journalists' moral bottom line and the public's right to know in the sharpest way. In 160 minutes In the film, there was a lot of discussion about the political persecution of capital, the news environment and people's self-awareness and insistence on "correctness". Although the director used the most calm and objective narrative style, he still could not suppress the inner surging.

China News Before starting a job, workers must first learn a theory: to guide the public opinion for the party's governance. This is really a great irony to the news media in the true sense, and it is written in textbooks like this. No wonder our Journalists can be so passive that they are already defined as "the mouthpiece of the party" before they are born and play.

When we talk about human rights, we always like to refer to the American "Declaration of Independence". Jefferson said : "One can't expect to be carried from tyranny to freedom while sleeping on a duvet"

Yes, we don't have freedom of the press now, nor do we have many other rights, and I don't even know this movie review that I seriously wrote Will not be published because of certain keywords. But the freedom of the press is not like oil, it is not taken for granted, it is earned by everyone who suffers from its injustice. And the filmThis is such a story. A pawn of a capitalist, a poor communication, irritable, flawed, typical grass-roots commoner who insists on pursuing the truth in his heart. It is such a small person who has no news control in exchange. The cornerstone of a more open society of speech and media freedom. In the interview wigand said
MIC——...and have you wish you hadn't come forward? You wish you hadn't blown the whistle?

wigand—— Yeah, there are times i wish i hadn't done it.

There are times i feel com..compelled to do it.

If you'd asked me...would i do it again, do i think it's worth it?

Yeah , i think it's worth it.
Yes, many times and I did not want to do this
but there are times when I feel it is my duty to do so
if you ask me, will not do it again? is it worth it to do
that, I Think it's worth doing


wigand's answer roughly describes the general state of mind as a "sacrifice" who follows his inner conscience. It's the oppression that moves him to a lowell that respects him more and makes him feel more comfortable. The company's "completely opposite dimension. Oppression is like a push, when the tobacco giant pushes a wigand hard, the reaction force wigand responds with the same force. This is in accordance with the natural rules of this universe."
When wigand came down from the court and went home, sitting in the car and looking out the window,

Of course, Lowell, the male lead starring AL, is the real protagonist of the story, and his performance is also brilliant. He is the one who runs and tells for the freedom, openness, and justice of the press. And WIGAND, the self-sacrificing one." "The whistleblower" is also a conscientious person who deserves to be admired. But tobacco has made me more stupid. Writing this has almost used up all my brain cells, and I can only say this.

I will quit smoking tomorrow . The first day is also the day we are closer to freedom of the press.

    -Wallace: Would you regret revealing the truth? -Wigand: Sometimes I wish I didn't stand up, but sometimes I felt obligated. If you ask me, would you do it again, is it worth it? I think it's worth it. —— The truth sometimes requires a huge price. Faced with various complex problems or even threatening lives, how many people are willing to take risks and be able to come forward? Even if you speak up bravely, it doesn't mean you will be publicly known and accepted. In the real world, it is not uncommon for people to reverse black and white, distort right and wrong, and hype and criticize. How many people can insist on not lying, deceiving, spreading rumors, slandering...and having a more truthful attitude of seeking truth from facts? —— In April this year, I watched "The Insider" in South Korea in 2015 and 2006 in the United States. I found that "The Insider" is also known as "The Insider". The story of the film reminds me of the "Washington Post", "Blackwater", "Focus" and the Japanese drama "White Tower" and other film and television works, and Russell Crowe's performance in this film often reminds me of "Beautiful Mind" .

    Journalism is an industry that tells secrets. It requires reporters to let people say what they should have said (observe and reflect, cut through to gain trust, find the truth, test the facts, and let the interviewee take risks) and let people hear what they should have said. Hear the words (under the pressure of being reconciled); since telling the truth often brings great damage, the person who wants to conceal the facts will attack the source in various ways, and finally you may face the situation: what is the fact, you The fact that will fight you. Wrestling is everywhere, and it is very difficult to fight against capital and state machinery. It is not that you alone are ready to tell the facts and the facts can work. This is this society. There will always be people who compromise, and the wisdom of the people may not be able to make them stand on the side of the truth, because the direction of public opinion can be manipulated. So are you ready to tell the truth? Are you ready to face the public? Are you ready to face the tremendous changes that your facts have brought you? /Michael Mann made an excellent genre film on this subject in his unique style, which is amazing.
