some small details

1. What is impressive is that after Katherine turned herself in and was locked up, the sheriff interrogated her, and she could openly discuss the issue of governments change.

And because she has not been charged, she has committed such a big crime and can still be released on bail.

Several language dialogue lines in the movie are very exciting, such as the discussion between the heroine and the lawyer, the discussion between the heroine and the sheriff, and so on.

Of course, there are many shameless places in the British government, such as not allowing her to talk about details with the lawyer, deporting her husband and so on.

2. The real reporter Martin Brady made a cameo in a scene where the actor-reporter Martin was called to answer the phone in the office.

3. How thin are computer screens in 2003? In 2004, my computer at home and the computer at school were all super thick? Maybe the UK is developed after all.

4. Katherine's boss asked her to hand in the Beijing report, and then Katherine listened to the recording, which was actually a Taiwanese accent, not a Beijing accent. Maybe the crew didn't know how to tell the difference, and just found a Taiwanese actor to read this recording.

5. At the end, lawyer Ben and his former colleague ken were chatting and fishing at the beach, and asked why ken let the heroine be in fear for so long before being sued. Hahaha, I laughed out loud here.

    I can’t admit it but I don’t deny it, the text has been proofread, naive, so brave, and the legality of war is judged. Pressure, this is not a fairy tale, but the reality of other people’s homes
