At times Shock and Awe is reminiscent of journalistic procedurals from “President’s Men” to “Spotlight” to “The Post,” and it gets the nitty-gritty details of an early 2000s newsroom just right.
新闻工作者的工作就是要追问原因和追溯证据源头的真实性，而不是做征服的嘴巴、宣传栏。在米国发动伊拉克战争前，极少数新闻人清醒地坚守了他们的底线。他们的故事值得被看见。所以也不要看见NYT报道了就觉得该报道就是绝对真实的。Rob Reiner既是本片的导演也饰演了报业的小老板。可惜主角们的人物弧线根本不连贯，还是缺少集中描写的时间段。
Shock and Awe reminds us all of this, and of the American media’s shameful complicity in fomenting an unjustified and vastly destructive war.
