The most engrossing part of Truth is the gradual, grueling retreat from the story, first by its participants and then by the network that broadcast it.

Debuting director James Vanderbilt (who wrote Zodiac) has a great sense of forward motion and wrings suspense from an idea-driven story.
More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well written and acted that it conveys a convincing illusion of veracity.
Mr. Redford doesn’t look like Dan Rather, but displays the same dedication to — and respect for — journalism that he brought to the role of Bob Woodward in "All the President’s Men."
Blanchett, a commanding figure who scowls her way through every argument, gives Mapes an involving screen presence that elaborates on the character's staunch resolve much better than the straightforward script.
Blanchett gives this dynamo of intelligence and doggedness a real human dimension that allows the propulsive drama to breathe; it’s another stellar performance that rates among her best.
In the closing act, the film sharpens and becomes something far more compelling.
The keenly focused intelligence and low-boil intensity that James Vanderbilt demonstrated in his screenplay for “Zodiac” are on impressive display in Truth.
Blanchett makes us feel the creeping horror of professional disgrace, the fear and stigma, however unfair Mapes argues her treatment may have been. We watch a polished professional come apart at the seams, caught up in self-incrimination and spiralling neurosis.
To say Blanchett is good here is a grave understatement.
“这条新闻的本意是Bush有没有服完兵役,没人想讨论这一点,大家只想讨论字体、伪造和阴谋论,因为现在的人不喜欢这条新闻,就会钻这些事,大家只会指责和怒骂,质疑你的政治色彩、客观性,还质疑你的基本人性,然后希望真相在角力中遗失。事情终于平息后,大家的叫嚣怒骂吵到我们根本不记得当初的重点。”
父女的梗感觉很多余…
大魔王演技真是逆天。关于新闻理想,到最后,没有人关心what the point was.
纯电影角度比聚焦更好,居然这么少人看过。。。fucking system
真实性,新闻理论课上曾花了6个课时来谈论这三个字,现在才慢慢体会到老师的用意。新闻业的光晕、脆弱和深陷泥沼,在寻求事实路上的“被猎杀”,算是典型一例。不过想到自己所处不过是被喂养、被宰杀的国内新闻界,好像大笑三声再一声叹息。
60分钟是如何被坑了的,新闻业者的噩梦,看得心焦。觉得调查委员会对她的指责没有错,肯定是先入为主地讨厌小布什啊但话说回来,对一个自己不care的对象又何来调查热情?所以实证一定要谨慎
个人感觉,题材其实比《聚焦》更刺激。缺点是稍显凌乱,故事的主观性太强,最后的主旋律镜头加音乐让人有点不舒服。但是女王的表演我真心觉得胜过《卡罗尔》,所有的坚持困惑委屈无奈挣扎都表现得完美。PS:女王的衣服都好好看啊。
《真相》:(6.0)真实新闻题材改编,不去追寻真相,只是像个怨妇一样抱怨,水平和同期的聚焦相比高下立判。这种没定论或者你就没理的内容最好别碰,怎么也是输。几个演员发挥还好。
电影拍得还好,但出了错就是被迫害也太妄想症了吧,咕咕
影片立场有失偏颇
導演和劇本都不理想。非要搞出點光環和大意義。
都拿它跟聚焦比。除了新闻业题材外,其实没太多可比性。本片要强调的根本不是真相,而是追逐真相背后的各种影响源。历史是人书写的,同样,真相也是人书写的。是人就有意识,是意识就会影响书写。读书时老师说,你把镜头对准谁,本身就是主观的。所以,没有记录,只有讲述。同样,没有真相,只有文本。
拍的不错但太明显偏向Mapes了,小布什固然有打压,但若是证据确凿也是逃不掉的。明明就是没有做好本职最终毁了这个重要的story,还是portray成了受害者。crappy reporting killed a legit story,其实当时几家媒体都收集到了一些solid的证据,可惜被Mapes抢先还搞砸了,他们至今还记恨着呢。#女王万岁
"This is what our business has become reporting on reporting." Soon would be movies on movies...
表演和背台词功力炸裂。就是内啥,凯特女王有点丢掉自己风格变成…… 艾玛·汤普森了?
其实影片的节奏还行,但有些地方台煽台电视剧了,编导也是非常地以凯特女王饰演的Mary Mapes为主导,反倒缺乏客观性,让观者被动地被牵着鼻子走的感觉。不过说到表演,凯特女王这次可以打9分。
不能不想起“Up Close & Personal-1996”,女主换了人,男女主的关系也从情人变成“父女”,最感动的一刻应该是Mary Mapes在电话里把Dan说成了Dad吧。
針對這種爭議的近年事件。我覺得他的傾向太明顯。對於新聞題材來說,不夠客觀呈現全貌。像是已有定見以此聲援。這只能說是Mary Mapes視角,但片名直接下Truth不太好吧。Cate Blanchett再次展現高水準表演,演活了這個尖銳強悍,甚至有些躁進的新聞製作人
报出假新闻应不应该承担责任?追求真相首先就应当承认错误而不是给自己洗白,立场错得太离谱。真正震到我的是布兰切特:以为“卡罗尔”已经是女王今年最好的发挥了,结果“真相”让我看到了什么是一步登天的演技!剧本好一点绝对横扫啊……
3.5 其实一直觉得从上帝视角看这样的故事是一种很有趣的体验。故事本身就很有戏剧张力,配上Cate卖力又精湛的表演颇具看点,可惜叙事略中规中矩,缺少亮点。又是一个探讨新闻业与政治的题材,想必或许未来也能成为不少课堂的谈资。
