From the perspective of news, or "reality", the movie lists three characters around "reality": first, the protagonist of the news, the concealer and the deceiver, just like Stephen in the film and the gangsters of PointCore. Second, real reporters, people like Cal who only stand on the side of the truth. Third, the person who makes news, this is also what I think is more interesting about this film. It brought in the new girl Della, a once famous blog critic, who would go to the Internet to break the news without asking for confirmation. People. Of course, it also includes the editor-in-chief who asked Cal to be published in a hurry in order to achieve the effect of "explosive news" in circulation, as well as the numerous paper media who did so.
Although this feature of Della or other paper media can only be regarded as a one-off, I still want to use the topic to talk about it. In the face of the truth, whether deceived or imagined, it is the same. No one is more noble than anyone else. To put it bluntly, they are all fake. , The degree of severity does not change the essence. It's just that in the era of lack of credibility, at every moment when the "real" is absent, the imaginatives are obviously more resonant, they are obviously more responsive, and they are obviously more likely to be regarded as the "incarnation of justice." I think it's ridiculous, but it's even sadder, quite sad. Of course, for those who don’t need to use their brains or just a little check to know that they are false, there will still be so many people who believe that a single spark has spread to him and immediately say it is a prairie fire, which can only express deep feelings. Painfully speechless.
"Speaking with facts" used to be a very exciting sentence. I used to love watching shows after 7:30, watching their routines, watching the faces recorded in their hidden cameras. Unfortunately, by now, this has become a kind of irony, a real irony. Cal said in the movie that he believes that people will eventually be able to tell what is real news. However, in such an environment, we have no chance and no channel to get close to the truth. What's more sad is that no one wants and no one can act as the second role around the "real".
I am very envious of the news environment shown in the film. Although there are pressures, conflicts, threats and intimidation, at least I am "resolute", "brave", and "never give up" with the courage and action ability to resist. There is a reliable guarantee (such as those 48 hours). After all, news reports shouldn't be a question of "speaking for whom", but should be to tell people who, what, and why.
I really wanted to be a reporter before, but since I don't have the "persistence, skill, courage, and don't give up until I reach my goal" like Cal's, and I'm worried about the environment, I just gave it up before I started. It's ridiculous. The only time I went to an ordinary meeting place as an intern reporter. I just got there and stuffed a file folder. I was stupid at the time. He opened his face to my man, but fortunately it didn't. Later, I opened it and read it. It included a sample press release, with all the content already written, and 300 yuan-is it necessary? It's frustrating.
Another interesting thing is the ending. When I watched it, I thought of Trompenaar's theory. The United States is indeed universal. If you change me, I think it's too difficult.
The whole movie can be said to be very fascinating. Especially with the background music that can create a sense of tension, I was very excited to watch the whole show! In the picture processing, some shots are a bit dizzy, and some are very clever. Generally speaking, they look like posters. They are dim, gray, and have a documentary style. And the subtitles after the end of the film is a bit eye-opening! ! I wonder if the large domestic publishing houses are also in this situation?
