"Washington post"

The news media about it can also be regarded as a political movie. The biggest feature of this film is its grasp of the political background and the degree of deletion of the story.

The Washington Post is talking about the Pentagon leaks. The movie only highlights part of the whole event, but there are still fast and slow, climax and rhythm.

I watched the movie last month, and what I remember now is the composure and courage of the heroine. A good movie should be like this, impressing the audience in different ways, and then the impression slowly ferments, with some invisible spirit, more or less affecting the current behavior, sometimes in the A certain moment comes to mind, a certain sentence, a certain scene, a certain character.

The Post quotes

  • Robert McNamara: If you publish, you'll get the very worst of him, the Colsons and the Ehrlichmans and he'll crush you.

    Kay Graham: I know, he's just awful, but I...

    Robert McNamara: [Interrupting and getting extremely angry] He's a... Nixon's a son of a bitch! He hates you, he hates Ben, he's wanted to ruin the paper for years and you will not get a second chance, Kay. The Richard Nixon I know will muster the full power of the presidency and if there's a way to destroy your paper, by God, he'll find it.

  • Roger Clark: What if we wait? What if we hold off on printing today. Instead we call the Attorney General and we tell them that we intend to print on Sunday. That way we give them and us time to figure out the legality of all of it, while the Court in New York decides the Times case.

    Ben Bradlee: Are you suggesting we alert the Attorney General to the fact that we have these documents, that we're going to print, in a few days?

    Roger Clark: Well, yes, that is the idea.

    Ben Bagdikian: Yeah, well, outside of landing the Hindenburg in a lightning storm, that's about the shittiest idea I've ever heard.

    Fritz Beebe: Oh boy!
