Many films that expose government scandals are mostly expounded from the perspective of the media and lawyers, however, this film is from the perspective of the parties and is based on real events. He was charged with treason after exposing secret official documents. To be more specific, he betrayed the government and the ruling government at that time, not the people. Because in the final analysis, the government serves the people, and the ruling government has only limited, temporary, and legal authority to run the entire country with the authorization of the people. Governments can also make mistakes if they start a war illegally (now more and more information indicates, or is certain: it has been proven that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction at all, and the United States, through some vague intelligence, pretends that one has weapons of mass destruction. Iraqi anti-American forces), but cover up the evidence, should the power granted by the people be taken back? Such scandal films in the United Kingdom are more rational in exaggerating emotions than those in the United States. I like "In the Name of the Father", which is equally deep and powerful. Knowing the danger, but still going alone, Catherine is a true warrior.

    Just when I thought there were already a lot of British familiar faces, more British familiar faces appeared. Another political film that will hit the country's pain points between the lines. I can only admire such whistleblowers whose morality is higher than the law and the people of the country are higher than the state machine. The final misfired court trial was quite anti-climax, so can you be so cowardly?

    The relationship between individuals and the government presented in many English-speaking films looks like a myth to my dad and a fairy tale to my mother
