Do you think I'm a "title party"?
Yes, I'm a headline party, but this is actually ironic - you can say tribute, who is not a self-media?
Because the film introduced today, its stage is the real giant that relies on the "title party" famous: Fox News TV.
At that time, Fox News had three famous features, that is, news headlines that "scare the elderly to death", beautiful anchors with blonde hair and blue eyes that conform to the mainstream American aesthetics, and sharp commentary and talk shows that tend to be Republican.
Now we know that between these three characteristics, there is a set of internal systems that are horns of each other.
And the event that smashed this system in 2016 and started the METOO movement affecting the world is what the movie shows: "Breaking News" .
The English name of the film is "Bombshell", which originally means unexpected situations and unfortunate accidents, but it can also be used to call sexy blondes, similar to "(American) exploded" in our colloquialism.
Can be said to be a pun. One word basically sums up the plot.
100 Beautiful Blonde Girls
A talk show artist in the United States said that the movie "Bombshell" should be renamed "100 Pretty Blonde Girls". Although it is a relatively shallow Tucao, it seems to be the case.
Starring "Yan Wang" Nicole Kidman, "Senior Goddess" Charlize Theron, "Harley Quinn" Margot Robbie, these three are big blonde beauties.
In addition, the cast includes at least Kate McKinnon, Connie Britton, Bridget Lundy Payne, Nazanin Boniarty, Brie Condon, Jennifer Morrison, Ana O'Reilly, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Holm, Alice Eve, Tricia Schiffer, Stephanie Styles...and many more Countless beauties.
These names are not made up by me, you can search for two and see, they are all angel-level.
If I didn't make it clear, I would have thought this was a biography of Hugh Heynough (the founder of Playboy).
So at first I thought it was a meat-selling movie with the head of "women's equal rights". But I was wrong. These beauties, from the anchors to the writers and directors, do not have the slightest rivalry - they silently constitute the background of the film: the strict hierarchy of power and money harem.
The three women are each wonderful
Nicole Kidman became the famous host Gretchen Carlson, and with her superb acting skills, she restored that confident and courageous woman. As a veteran ace in the stage, Gretchen has always added her own ideas to the show. For example, on "World Girls' Day", she appeared without makeup. As a result, she was humiliated by the big boss and one of the founders, Roger Ailes, and kicked her out of the ace show, facing the threat of losing her job at any time.
But Gretchen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she came forward to accuse Roger of sexual harassment. And hope to get the joint support of women who have been harassed on TV. Unfortunately, it didn't go well at first.
Roger is deeply entrenched and well-connected at Fox. One-third of the Murdoch family's income comes from his efforts, and three presidents have risen to the throne with his help. And Roger's absolutely loyal news host Sean Hannity has been in the media, using his influence to stand for Roger.
And those women who have been harassed now have families and children, and many are still working hard. They didn't want to be "dragged" like this, and told Gretchen and themselves, "Those things are just deals."
At this time, the main female anchor of Fox who has been dealing with Gretchen-Megan Kelly stood up. She calmly and sincerely spoke out about the past that she too was harassed by Roger, and called on fellow women to stand up together. Before and after her outbreak, the silent interaction between several heroines is the most exciting part of the whole movie.
And "Harley Quinn" Margot Robbie plays the star's only fictional character: rookie production assistant Kayla Pospihill. She enthusiastically explained her work ideas to Roger, only to be ordered to "raise the skirt a little bit higher..."
In the film, Margot Robbie contributes a performance full of tension. The screenwriter also uses this role to illustrate what Gretchen and Megan's accusations can avoid.
Everyone knows the result of the good + movie
There will be a lot of baggage in the movie script, and the process of shaking off the burden at the end is the happiest moment for the audience. Therefore, a movie that predicts the ending in advance is equivalent to lacking the biggest burden, and the viewing experience is often discounted.
But Bombshell does it very well.
Although we all know that Roger and another executive were eventually fired, Murdoch had to be airborne at an advanced age to personally manage and overhaul the station. The victims also received $50 million in compensation from Fox.
Not only that, starting from this, the United States and even the world have set off a vigorous METOO movement. Many women have come forward to fight for their power and justice for themselves. And Hollywood, the hardest hit area, also exposed the corruption behind many glories in this movement.
These audiences know it, but they don't feel that they can't watch it at all. Because we can all feel how difficult it was for the lonely female anchors to overthrow Roger, who was in control of the money. We want to know, how did they do it?
This is actually the genius of the movie. The director did not add his own thoughts, and took reality as the criterion for the lens, which made it more attractive.
Gretchen came out selfish at first, Meghan didn't want to get involved at first, and Keira's fledgling became her fatal wound. These characters are all real, but in the end they all speak up for justice and for women.
Finally, the "commonplace" has become "everyone shouts and beats".
