Tribute to war correspondents

"If you can't stop the war, then you tell the world the truth of the war", this is the eternal motto of war correspondents.
This is a film about war photographers, where there is war and danger, they are there. Dangers follow, and the protagonists are no exception, either dead or injured, or left with permanent psychological trauma. In the face of crime, whether photographers should step forward to stop them, or just be a bystander to record faithfully, is always the society's question to them.
For example, in the famous photo, a Sudanese girl is about to starve to her knees on the ground, and the vultures are staring at the rear, waiting for her death, and the scrawny child is about to become its food. Kevin Carter's "The Hungry Sudan" won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photojournalism in April 1994. In the face of honor, the photographer fell into the moral dilemma of recorder and saver, and worse The media magnified the content of the photo and accused it of stepping on the little girl's body to win the award. Unable to extricate himself, he chose suicide three months later.
This is an excellent film, not only for the controversies that make you think, the intense plot, and those great works, but also for those who encounter, and the care of humanity. I like these people, no matter how strong or weak, these men are the most handsome with their cameras in the dangerous world, because they don't just see taking pictures as a job, it's their career, it's their ideal. Being a war photographer was one of my many dreams. I also hoped that I could walk in a dangerous world and take pictures that could record history. As a result, I failed to freeze the time, but time has polished me beyond recognition. Now my dream is gone, and I only have photography and travel hobbies.

    Based on real events. Unsettled South Africa in 1992-1994. Several leading actors are very good, Ryan Phillippe still has acting skills, but usually the crowd is attracted by his appearance. It is also a serious discrimination to be considered to have no acting skills if the appearance is too high.

    This kind of war reporter is a particularly charismatic person. Nine out of ten actors can't cover them in terms of image. Looking at the final comparison between the actors and the prototype, it is obvious.
