The army, monopolies, government members, parliament, scandals... In the step-by-step investigation, the closer the reporter gets to the truth, the more it is shrouded in fear. In the hospital ward, she cried; in the corridor of the newspaper office, he hesitated. However, they are journalists, they are truthseekers, facts give news power, and they are full of power because they pursue facts.
Movies are always our dream, beautiful and powerful. I really like the occasional overhead shots in the film. The two people who are talking have become small existences. It seems that someone is watching you. He lets you know that everything you do is not meaningless.
Putting aside the flaws of the story, I think this is a movie that every journalism student should watch. At least next time an angry youth is accusing the reporter of self-righteousness, you can use the lines in the movie to refute him: Why? Because no one reads the newspaper? Is that right? A report becomes a wrapper after a few days of attention? Although people have so many rumors and suspicions about newspapers, I still think that people know the difference between real reporting and nonsense, and people will also be very pleased to know that there are still people who have made things public and printed the truth.
