On borders, awe and fighters

It seems that it is adapted from actual events, and the plot is relatively simple, which is actually in line with reality. The heroine was threatened four times, the first time a bullet was fired indiscriminately, and the second time her leg was injured. No fear this time. The third time I was threatened to kidnap and abolish my son, and I was tortured to death. This time I was really scared, but the heroine thought that I couldn't show that I was afraid. This reminds me of an article published by Caixin's editor-in-chief about boundaries. The main point is that many things are not about how much you do and how much you lose, but within a certain boundary, there is no disadvantage, beyond this boundary, there is no burial place. The point is, you don’t know where this boundary is. The heroine is such a person. She has a successful career and a happy family. She can be a Cantona in the group of children, and she can chat and laugh with the underworld bosses. It has been very smooth, and ignored this limit. The heroine lacks boundaries for her own safety, and the gangsters lack boundaries, and both sides lack awe. The heroine is admirable. It's not easy to persevere in this situation. I definitely can't do it. Drugs were banned in Ireland in the 1990s, but I don't know how it's legalized now. It's ironic to say (2021)

The story is average, I didn't read it before, but this time I was bored and had nothing to do, so I finally finished it. A total of 6 points.

    After watching it, it made me doubt, examine myself, and think about the social thinking about the relationship between professional ethics and life safety of journalists. A very good film. I like the line "Everyone can remember, when they learned that Veronica was killed on Nas Street. , where are you?" There's really no better way to express it.

    To journalists. The fact that the true story is so moving and so brave and persevering actually existed is both gratifying and heartfelt. Cate is really good at being a strong and brave character in biopics and she can always put in a little joke to make the characters more real. The movie itself is not strong enough compared to the story, but it can also be shocking because of the superb starring.
