Review of The Post (2017) by Wesseldj — 15 Jul 2023
Movie started of slow and sloppy. Actor roles were cliché and at times overacted by majorly Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. Artistic style of the movie was at times authentic 1960s feel to it, but at times it was Full HD crisp, which threw you a bit off the vibe of the time period that it was designated.
All the more the topic of the movie is a very relevant one. Both the prominent newspapers mentioned in the movie (New York Times and Washington Post) are depicted to have high sense of morality and wanted to do good for the public.
It is all the more sad to say these 2 prominent newpapers of today are full of fake news and its topic politically charged leaning towards a specific political spectrum in geopolitical reporting. In todays setting american newspapers aren't lacking press freedom, they abuse press freedom to the point of manipulating the masses and accommodating aggressive foreign politics of their government.
In current times these newspapers should look carefully at their policies if they are really unbiased and subjective in their news reporting, and should remember to do their predecessors justice in keep reporting righteously and should refrain from bias.
