Mark Felt 2/9/2018 Mark Felt is a completely positive image of a good person in the movie. He is really out of mud and not stained. Let his characters have less dimension. The film's colors and shots help create a very heavy, oppressive atmosphere, with Liam Neeson being thin, upright, perpetually well-suited, with forbearance, loneliness, and determination. His speech to his subordinates—justice is on our shoulders, and if we don’t do something, no one will ever know the truth—moved me particularly. The silent support of his subordinates to him is not easy. He's also been threatened, and has struggled with knowing what a leak might mean to him. He is not stupid, he is not brave, he is someone who has been immersed in a complex environment for a long time, he understands complications, but the most rare thing is that he still maintains a sense of justice, after careful calculation, under the premise of self-protection ( I guess), doing the right thing as much as possible. In the movie, the two editors of the newspaper are shown to be very timid and fearful. I don't think it is fair. It is precisely because of the perseverance of these media that the Watergate incident was achieved, and that Nixon paid the due price. But look at the current media... I learned about the Weather Underground, a far-left anti-Vietnam War and anti-government organization that I didn't know before. It turned out that the folk emotions at that time were so diverse, not only the decadent hippie movement, but also these extreme, Almost a terrorist organization, even the Pentagon was bombed. As for the movie itself, although I understand the director's intention to arrange the plot of the runaway daughter, I still feel a little stiff. I also didn't like Diane Lane's wife, winking, speaking hard, and being particularly playful.
Through this film, I experienced the biggest scandal in American politics more "immersively" and saw the dark corruption of power more clearly. The duplicity of politicians makes people extremely annoying, makes people fear and dislike the high power platform, and loses confidence in human nature. Nixon can really act, talking nonsense with his eyes open, deceiving the entire American people, manipulating the government, covering the sky with one hand, and hiding behind a smiley face and a costume that is more exciting than the House of Cards screenwriters imagined. The world is as black as crows... Who knows what the current senior government officials, company executives... these people who are wandering in the center of the power and wealth field, are doing.
Liam Neeson old man, very tasteful, really charming!
