We are less than a month away from the annual Little Golden Man ceremony.
Every household has been busy for a whole year, and only a few have been squeezed into the long-distance running list.
"The Shape of Water" has won 13 nominations, but it has already won the Golden Lion Award. It should be missed for the best picture.
Dumb girls, gays, blacks, murlocs, "The Shape of Water" is a hodgepodge of marginalized people
It now appears that the "Three Billboards" recommended by us once vomiting blood has the strongest overall strength.
Sister-in-law Coen played the role of revenge mother. The sturdiness is rare in recent years.
However, this is still extremely dangerous, because there is a menacing airborne strong soldier——
Washington post
"News is the first draft of history"
This strong soldier came especially late, and was only released in the United States on January 12 this year.
But at the latest, you sit in rows, and the kids who are already sitting have to give me a place.
The film has been nominated for two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Actress .
No one will not be convinced, because these are the three major players of Hollywood's "Golden Saint Seiya"——
Steven Spielberg + Meryl Streep + Tom Hanks .
This time, the nine statuettes joined forces.
The subject matter they are aiming at is also the main theme of the United States rooted in Zhengmiaohong.
In jargon-
"The whole movie is very licensed from content to casting to the director himself!"
The film’s perspective is based on the Pentagon leak in 1971 .
We all know that the Pentagon leak is one of the top ten leaks in the world, causing a sensation and even rewriting the world pattern.
At that time, the United States was deeply mired in the Vietnam War, and domestic anti-war sentiment was high.
Daniel Ellsberg, an elite who drifted away from politics, military, and academia, was originally a staunch supporter of the Vietnam War.
But when he went to Vietnam to investigate, he had doubts: What is the legitimacy of the United States in launching a war in Vietnam?
Later, he came into contact with classified documents of the Ministry of National Defense concerning the Vietnam War, so this brave warrior with an art master quietly stole a large number of documents, that is--
"Pentagon Papers".
The document reveals a big earth-shattering secret--
Many presidents and officials have long known that the result of the war against Vietnam must be the defeat of the United States.
Knowing that they were defeated, they still let the soldiers go to death.
what is the reason?
It turned out to be to escape the shame of America's defeat.
The first half of the film restored the scene at that time for us.
And the more exciting is still in the second half.
One person knows it's useless, and thousands of people must know the ugly face of the government.
At this time, you have to rely on the mouth of the media.
The Washington Post is now the oldest leader in the United States, and it especially loves to manage the domestic political dynamics of the United States.
Everyone knows that this newspaper warrior, with his pen, tripped the Nixon administration. The Watergate incident directly led to Nixon’s resignation and his downfall.
This made the Washington Post famous.
But in fact, further forward, the Washington Post is still a small newspaper, but its combat effectiveness was very fierce in its early years, and it was on the bar with Nixon at that time.
They stabbed the Pentagon documents stolen by Daniel Ellsberg.
The focus of the film lies on these bold media people.
Tom Hanks plays Ben Bradley , the editor-in-chief . He is a vigorous and vigorous man . He is not afraid of things and prefers big things. He thinks that the Pentagon must be reported.
In the face of high pressure and danger, he defended the principles of media people——
"The only way to defend publishing rights is to publish!"
But he still needs someone to nod his head, that is Catherine Graham , the publisher played by Aunt May .
The founder of the Washington Post was her father, and it was passed on to her husband, who died and fell into her hands.
But in an industry dominated by men, she doesn't have much weight.
At major conferences, the men talked about each other, and she was the only woman who couldn't get in the mouth.
In the newspaper, Lao Tang and other male leaders said they were calling her, holding a conference call, and deciding whether to publish this shocking secret, but they quarreled with each other and did not play with her.
In this climax phone scene, Aunt Mei’s feminine glory finally bloomed. In the moving shots, multi-person perspective editing, dim setting, and solemn soundtrack, her hesitation, hesitation, tears filled her eyes, and multiple emotions gathered. in.
In the end, she firmly decided to report, and slapped the president severely--
"The people of this country cannot let the president be alone and dominate the country. I can't figure out that the president would equate revealing the truth with treason. This gives me a feeling: destroying a certain ruling government or a certain individual's reputation is treason. . This is equivalent to saying that I am the country. "
They also ushered in jail, and the Nixon administration sent them to the Supreme Court.
But we don't guess or know the ending of the main melody, they will be able to retreat.
The judge found not guilty and gave them a big compliment——
"The founding fathers gave the necessary protection system for media freedom in order for the media to play an important role in our democracy. The media should serve the ruled, not the ruler. "
The main melody is like this, although there will be no surprises or frights, and knowing that this is the ending, it will still make people look excited.
Aunt May’s husband, Philip Graham, a well-known publisher of The Washington Post, once defined the historical mission of news in one sentence——
"News is the first rough draft of history."
"The news is the first draft of history."
This great and glorious mission seems to be gradually covered in dust with the passing of the golden age of newspaper media.
"Journalism serves the ruled, not the ruler." How many media people can still enshrine it as a spiritual imperial decree.
In fact, we once had countless single-handed "Washington Post".
But they all fell one by one.
Where they disappeared now, we don't know, and it is impossible to record them with images.
Therefore, we will never be able to make such a film, we will only have something like "10 years ago, 14-year-old she sent her family to prison for sexual assault and other charges, and then disappeared...";
"The whole family" sexual assault "girl, can not just" lost contact "with" this Chen Duxiu title .
What we have can only be in a safe place, and even half a spiritual imperial decree, "serving the ruled" can't be done.
Jian Guangzhou of the "Oriental Morning Post" was the first reporter who dared to name "Sanlu" directly in the report. For a time, there was a national sensation and high-ranking officials stepped down.
As early as 2009, he exposed Yang Yongxin's bestial behavior-"Yang Yongxin: From "Uncle Yang" to "Sheep Called Beast".
However, the conscience of the Chinese news media, but silently resigned in 12 years, he only left a sentence-
"Ten years ago, it is the most precious youth in my life. All the joys and sorrows, all the dreams, all the endurance are because of that innocent ideal. Well, the ideal is dead, I will withdraw first, brothers treasure!"
The ideal is dead.
At that time, we still didn't understand the despair and deep meaning of these four words.
But now that I want to come, I have to understand.
