Shocking insider view

Wei Heng's torment in personal interests and public interests is vividly interpreted, and his family is the health of the public. In the end, he chose to give up his own personal interests and make the truth public. But after all, the power is limited, and it is imprisoned by all parties. Even his wife and children left him.

Bergman also encountered the same problem and was under pressure from the top, but in order to let everyone know the inside story of tobacco, and also for the professional ethics of a journalist, and more importantly, to fulfill his promise to Wigan. Use yourself as a piece of news and let other peers break the news. In the end, it was because of this promise that he voluntarily quit his job.

At the end of the film, their efforts were realized, although they achieved their original purpose, but as Bergman said: "What has been won." Won the public's right to know and the resistance to big business.

Finally, let's talk about the film itself, which is indeed a bit procrastinating. I didn't get into the topic for the first half hour, but I really insisted on watching it.

    This is a pure American story, and the freedom and conscience of the press comes at a price. In the end, it all depends on luck.

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!
