The film focuses on The Washington Post's publisher, Mrs. Graham, and editor-in-chief, Bradley, both competing with The New York Times and risking political repression from the government, as well as the Post's ongoing listing. The huge pressure of failure; with a common goal, the two bridged their differences, each risked their careers and even personal freedom, and finally let the public know the truth. And Mrs. Graham's brave decision of "Let's go. Let's publish." forever changed the course of American history and established the Washington Post's status as a leader in the American newspaper industry. The movie "Washington Post" showed the audience the nerve-wracking weeks in June that year. Spielberg once again showed a perfect grasp of the balance between art, literature and business, and made a story that may be very boring. Fast-paced, exciting, detailed, and entertaining, you can't imagine the whimsical Ready Player One and the sophisticated Washington Post from Spielberg. At the same time, this movie has the kind of calm that I like very much. Although the plot is turbulent, it completely isolates the noise in reality. There were no red-faced demonstrations holding slogans, and no passionate speeches. That multi-party phone call, analyzing the stock price, analyzing the consequences, and analyzing the legal risks, although they were tit for tat, they all treated each other frankly. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks provide a wonderful performance of Graham and Bradley, and the director finds the perfect balance of humility, enthusiasm and precise scheduling of big-name stars.
