Good movie that doesn't need me to review

In fact, I finished watching this film a few days ago, and I haven't come to write a review. The main reason is that I came across another film that was so good that I didn't know how to comment on it....
Politics...News...Law ... When these three things come together, there will be endless stories to tell, and endless good plays. Maybe it’s because of my own law studies. I was really involved when I saw this film, including the subtle changes in America’s attitude towards “human rights” and “national security” after “911”, including the true nature of news reports. Meaning, including what is the difference between the rights and powers of the government itself? This film has been discussed in depth, which can be described as a mess with profound connotations... I may write an article to discuss some interesting topics in the future.
The director's skill is also extraordinary. The film has twists and turns, and the rhythm is well controlled. I am fully invested in it, and I don't feel the boring feeling of watching a drama film at all. The acting is also in place, and it can bring you into the play.
Anyway, haven't you seen it yet? Then go see it!

    Button asks Rachel to tell the source, this trick seems to be ineffective, but it is actually very vicious. If she doesn't say anything, it is logical to detain her and destroy her will through long detention. If she speaks out, she will be cast aside by the industry and become a shame in the industry. And no one will give her information again, because she has a history of divulging the source of the information. Even if the federal government doesn't take him anyway, her career will be ruined. In this way, Button succeeded in turning the president and the government's problems into Rachel's problems. The ending is also a stroke of magic. They always say that the intelligence agent has committed treason and is a traitor who leaked state secrets. But it turned out that a little girl told Rachel. How could a few years old girl be a traitor, how could she be a spy, how could she have bad intentions? This ending is really slapped face, they think someone is going to frame the President of the United States, but the fact is that no one wants to frame the President of the United States at all. It's just that the President of the United States did something wrong, and the reporter learned about it by mistake. , And then it was reported.

Nothing But the Truth quotes

  • Ray Armstrong: [staring at his wife's new story] You made the top page!

  • Alan Burnside: [In front of the Supreme Court] In 1972 in Branzburg v. Hayes this Court ruled against the right of reporters to withhold the names of their sources before a grand jury, and it gave the power to the Government to imprison those reporters who did. It was a 5-4 decision, close. In his dissent in Branzburg, Justice Stewart said, 'As the years pass, power of Government becomes more and more pervasive. Those in power,' he said, 'whatever their politics, want only to perpetuate it, and the people are the victims.' Well, the years have passed, and that power is pervasive. Mrs. Armstrong could have buckled to the demands of the Government; she could've abandoned her promise of confidentiality; she could've simply gone home to her family. But to do so, would mean that no source would ever speak to her again, and no source would ever speak to her newspaper again. And then tomorrow when we lock up journalists from other newspapers we'll make those publications irrelevant as well, and thus we'll make the First Amendment irrelevant. And then how will we know if a President has covered up crimes or if an army officer has condoned torture? We as a nation will no longer be able to hold those in power accountable to those whom they have power over. And what then is the nature of Government when it has no fear of accountability? We should shudder at the thought. Imprisoning journalists? That's for other countries; that's for countries who fear their citizens - not countries that cherish and protect them. Some time ago, I began to feel the personal, human pressure on Rachel Armstrong and I told her that I was there to represent her and not her principle. And it was not until I met her that I realized that with great people there's no difference between principle and the person.
