Review of The Post (2017) by Ledaumas — 13 Jan 2018

I doubt this movie would have been made, or gotten people to be interested in watching it, if not for the current political climate which seems to be more than just repeating the mistakes of the past. As we watched this movie, it's incredible how the tension builds even though we know what's going to happen.

I was reading the negative reviews of this movie, and it's quite obvious which side we lean on when giving a review for this movie. I wish people had honorable convictions in real life as they appear to have in this movie.

Even if the people they are recreating in this movie didn't do everything the movie says they did, I wish they had. So for us, it was a wonderful movie about people's integrity and what they do about it.

Our 23 year old was amazed at what life was about without cell phones, without electronic data, and how we used to publish papers. Finally, while the acting was good by all with much sincerity, Meryl Streep's role sure shows her merit as our greatest living actress since this isn't a showy role.

Meryl has to convey emotions with subtle face expression and the tone of her voice. She truly gives us the feeling that she knows she's in over her head, yet hangs in there. This story has been made necessary to remind the public of how some politicians work against Americans.
