A great story, and a great choice.
Catherine is a staff member of the UK Government Communications Headquarters, responsible for gathering and analyzing intelligence. When she saw a classified briefing from the NSA asking the UK to monitor UN members in order to pressure the Security Council to pass a classified briefing on the Iraq war, instinct made her choose to make the briefing public.
To make this decision, Catherine did not hesitate for a long time. Of course, she knew that by doing so, she violated the secrecy regulations and even the official secrets law, but out of hatred for illegal wars and the harm caused by wars to human beings, Catherine bravely made her own choice. Although followed by stalking, detention, trial, expulsion of husband...
Catherine did this because she believed she was righteous, so she maintained her innocence even for violating the Official Secrets Act.
In court, the prosecution reluctantly dropped the indictment. They even put Catherine in the dock just to save some face for themselves. This shamelessness finally makes the world shameless, and Catherine's acquittal on the spot also shows that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people.
The Iraq war in 2003 finally proved that this war of aggression launched by the United States and the United Kingdom was unjust. In the name of liberating the Iraqi people and defending world peace, they made Iraqi lives and souls utterly devastated and grief-stricken. Behind it is the fundamental purpose of the United States to control oil, strengthen the status of the dollar, and ensure its own hegemony. For this purpose, they do everything they can,
When dealing with hypocritical developed countries like the United States and Britain, we must despise him from the bottom of our hearts. A momentary power cannot change its evil nature. Is there a conclusion about the rise and fall? It is precisely that sentence, its prosperity is also booming, its decline is also sudden.
The story of the film is still chewable, but a little more tension will make it more enjoyable to watch, such as stealing a briefing, being followed, etc., which can be handled a little better.
