Review of The Insider (1999) by Nelson P — 17 Aug 2010
"The Insider" prospers in almost every way, shape, and form possible. The production is a masterpiece of visual style, moving performances, and emotionally penetrating dialogue. The movie inhabits a strong social message dealing with the influence of television, reputation, honesty, and so forth.
The biggest ethic I think Mann is trying to get across is of modern morality: always do the right thing, follow you conscience, no matter what the cost. Then there's the film's most provoking issue: "Fame has a fifteen-minute half-life.
Infamy lasts a little longer.".
