I missed the mark, just make a comment

This film is mentioned in the preface of "How to Read a Book", which tells the real experience of one of its editors, Charles Van Doren, so I came to see it because I was curious.

Based on a true event in American TV history, the tricks behind the TV show can be seen. All the winners of puzzle games are operated by TV stations. As the comment said, everything is entertainment, and you will lose if you take it seriously. Van Duolun, who came from a scholarly family, could not resist the temptation. He enjoyed the fame and fortune after cheating, but he could never find simple happiness again. Gu Wen discovered the strangeness of the program and tried his best to find out everything, but in the end the TV station he wanted to bring down the most was unscathed. The power of an individual is pitifully insignificant in front of the capital group.

Personally, I think the most exciting part is the verbal and psychological game between people of different colors. Ralph really played Van Doren's psychology alive. Another highlight is that the movie is very realistic and shows everyone's desires, including Gu Wen, who seems to be the incarnation of justice.

    Why do I see the base? Goodwin, the first graduate of Harvard, was determined to enter politics and cheated on TV. When I saw that Charles Van Doren played by Ralph was mistaken for life, I didn't want to do anything. I tried everything to excuse him, refused to call him, and did not hesitate to fight with my boss and quarrel with my wife... Ralph Fiennes is so beautiful, he is my professor , I will definitely apply for repeat grades and never graduate.

    What exactly does TV show bring to us? Does it have to be real? Or allow advance rehearsal? In today's flood of reality shows, these problems have long been commonplace. In the 1950s, scandals were triggered by fake TV programs. See the beginning of mass entertainment, and at the same time see the beginning of the depravity of human nature.
