The greatness that belongs to the commoner hero

For me, movies with real stories as the background have a unique charm. Although the follow-up development and results of events can be known to some extent in advance, through the director's narrative rhythm and the atmosphere created, the audience will still be unconscious. The story gives traction, and it is very likely that these things will happen around us in our lives, and whether we will encounter a similar situation. And "Richard Jewell's Lamentation", which allows the audience to understand the beginning and end of an incident through a movie, and obtain another perspective of looking at things or thinking, is the main reason why I like this movie.

On the whole, perhaps the design of the female reporter Casey in "Richard Jewell's Lamentation" in exchange for sleeping with an agent in exchange for investigative data has caused controversy, but Clint East, a supporter of American conservatives, is controversial. Wood, being able to highlight the problems of American society by questioning heroes is quite commendable. It has been more than 20 years since the Centennial Park bombing in 1996. Has society changed? Or are you still standing still? I think "Richard Jewell's Lamentation" is not so much about rehabilitating him, but more about letting the audience learn from history and not let similar events repeat themselves, which is more important.
