Same theme, different warmth

There is no introduction to the content of the story here, just a brief discussion of the aftermath.

"Money Monster" has to be the most emotional film I've seen recently.
Before watching the film, I deliberately glanced at the introduction, and the picture of "Terrorist Live" appeared in front of me.
The two have the same point: they are both at the bottom of the society and have nowhere to speak. Finally, they choose to challenge the power through the media.
The two anchors seem to be bright in front of them, but behind them there is something unsatisfactory. In the end, they both stood on the weak side and fought against the powerful.

The difference is: the power of "Terrorist Live" is the government, and the power of "Money Monster" is the financial crocodile. .
Ha Jung Woo is fighting alone, and Clooney is a team to help him fight.

Although this film is not as tight-paced and touching as "Horror Live", it unexpectedly sees the warmth mixed in the horror rhythm. Cole told Clooney that it wasn't a bomb, but clay; Clooney used Cole to hold him back to block the sniper; Laney, without the protection of the police, followed Cole and Clooney with a camera on his back. ; The tacit understanding and cooperation between Roberts and Clooney when they delayed Cole.

Thinking about the recent P2P fraud incidents such as Ezubao and Kuailu, it is even more ironic.

    It looks better than I imagined, with a lot of twists and turns. A well-regarded commercial film can also be said to have a profound meaning. The banter of reality shows is in place, especially the camera brother is the most difficult. The robber boy did a good job.

It's not a rhetorical question. I want an answer.
