"News is only the first rough draft of history"
The drama of the two emperors and queens, the cooperation of three Hollywood gods, the textbook-level group play, the excellent performance of the Queen's soundtrack master John Williams, Kaminsky's real and nostalgic use of colors, political correctness, high degree of restoration Mapping reality, a proper Spielberg awards season lineup, and unexpectedly defying criticism at Katharine Graham -- "Press is for the ruled, not the ruler", making "Let's go, let's publish.” culminated in the decision. At a time when freedom of the press and government power are at war with each other, white men dominate everything, and their fortunes will be destroyed if they lose a lawsuit, and faced with a difficult time of historic choice, Kay Graham and Ben Bradlee's courageous decisions are absolutely worthy of 10,000 respect.
The 1970s was the golden age of the American newspaper industry. Both the Pentagon leaks and the Watergate scandal were milestones in the history of journalism. Unfortunately, history always repeats itself. Although the Post is hopeless, but through this film I still pay tribute to the pioneers of the newspaper industry and outstanding actors.
Finally, the judgment of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black is attached:
“In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government.”
