I remembered that the guest of a podcast I listened to before was a reporter who used to be a war correspondent and was always interviewing some extreme real-life events. At that time, I happened to be interested in news interviews and was considering studying journalism and communication and then taking a postgraduate entrance examination. After listening to it, I realized that I probably can't be a reporter because I don't have enough psychology to face the cruel and real things in reality. Although Greg and Kate in the film both won the Pritzker, they are both trapped in self-contradiction and psychological struggle, as a war photographer, the struggle of humanity and professionalism in the face of war and death. The whole world is asking why Kate didn't help the girl, and what happened to Kate's girl; some say Greg was a piece of shit and Ken retorts that it was a moment Greg was risking his life to record ; to Robin as an editor who deals with realistic brutal photos every day but still struggles to persevere and collapses when he actually sees dead children. It suddenly made me realize that what they need to do this job is not just professionalism, but more restraint, knowing that their abilities are limited, so they just try their best to restrain themselves, not because they are used to death. Indifference, but try to do the best restraint when you know what you can do. An artist in the art of abstract design said that no one likes being real. Yes, but we always need to face the truth, and they are the most faithful recorders of real events. Suddenly I want to buy a camera to record everything. Although movies and photos have recorded the cruelty of the real world, I think it is always necessary to really go to the real world to have a look, in order to understand more about life and everything about life and everything.
