The Washington Post: How much does your principle sell for?
Liu Qiang loves movies
"Washington Post" is Spielberg's film. It can be seen that his old man has done his best to make the plot simple and easy to understand, but when it comes to history and politics, it can't be complicated. Let me describe the simplest first. version of the story. In 1971, the "New York Times" published the news that successive U.S. governments deceived the American people to provoke the Vietnam War, which aroused the anger of then-president Nixon. He not only punished the "New York Times", but also filed a lawsuit, preparing to put it to death; then The "Washington Post" has obtained more in-depth information. In the face of the accusations and threats of "endangering national security" by those in power, whether to issue or not to issue, obedient or disobedient, has become a major issue before the "Washington Post". problem……
Social progress does not happen overnight. In the United States, for example, the rights to freedom of the press, speech and the press were written into the fundamental laws early on by the first generation of leaders. But the legal provisions are dead, and whoever violates them restricts the rights of citizens. The text cannot stand up against it. Those who can be investigated and defended must be one after another. Only everyone takes the legal provisions seriously. Son, it can really come true, otherwise, it is just a piece of paper. It's easy when there's no cost to pursuing and defending it, but you'll still do it when it costs you property, friendship, reputation, and even personal liberty to pursue those in power and defend your rights. choose?
Streep was nominated for Best Actress at the 90th Academy Awards for his role as "Washington Post" owner Kay Graham in this film. It is definitely not Aunt Mei's "inertia" nomination. She has indeed played the image of a woman who is facing life and career life and death choices. Kai is by no means a born strong woman. In the process of deciding to publish the news, she hesitated, wavered and struggled. She wanted to deposit the entire newspaper group and all her property, and she also betrayed the circle of powerful friends and hurt those who had helped Her own people, and at the last moment, in fact, she was the only one left to fight alone, and even the editor-in-chief, who has always been a supporter, has begun to flinch... Sometimes, I really have to admit that there is such a thing as a national fortune. Facing such huge pressure, Kai insisted. It was a desperate attempt to completely expose the lies of the U.S. government. If Kay did not make the choice to publish the news, chose to be obedient, and be Nixon's little boy, the press rights would be trampled under the fig leaf of "protecting national security", and the lies would continue to run rampant in the world. In the future, Nixon's watergate No one dared to expose the incident. For several years, the entire political ecology and social atmosphere of the United States will be corrupted, those in power will become more and more unscrupulous, and the people will either follow the trend or swallow their voices. The decline of the United States is the general trend...
Kai, just insisted on his own principles - lies must be exposed, and news must serve the public. Moreover, her principle is really very, very "expensive", and no one can buy it. With the efforts of "Kay" after another, she, her compatriots and descendants will not have to live under the dark rule of unscrupulous politicians like Nixon. In the rise of any country, one or two leaders are very important, but thousands of people are more important. Only they dare to adhere to various principles in life, defend various rights, and ensure the political ecology. The rise of this country can only be solid and long-lasting if the social atmosphere does not deteriorate or deteriorate.
If you don't promote social progress, who will?
