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.

    The story is solid, and the acting is divine. Paul Walter Hauser did a fantastic job. Go check out Fight Kingdom, where the actor's performance is even more impressive.

    Hollywood Narrative Textbook. There are not many shots, so compact that it can’t fit into the credits. The 89-year-old man is still stable, and his technique and conscience are industry benchmarks. If I can live to this age, I can take care of myself only by urination and defecation. second thoughts: After seeing the controversy of Kathy Scruggs, there are indeed many points of MAGA circle jerk. It is believed that people are politically tone deaf rather than intended to be in old age. When the impeachment drama opens, it is interpreted as defending Trump and it is wrong (it would be too bad if Trump tweeted "great film #witchhunt" in a few days. NS)

Richard Jewell quotes

  • Richard Jewell: You're the only one who treated me like a human being! And now you're yelling at me, telling me I have to be somebody that I'm not! I'm not that guy, you're that guy!

  • Watson Bryant: You know, I actually feel sorry for you guys: when the real bomber does it again, and the country asks, 'where was the FBI?' you're gonna say, 'we were busy getting hair samples from Richard Jewel.'
