Went to see this movie over the weekend. Terrific. One of the best movies I've seen in years. Well-written, wonderfully acted, thoughtfully presented, and just a damn good (true) story. Although it took place in the 50s, it's perhaps as relevant today as any time in the intervening years. What is the place of a free press in a democratic society? How do economic and commercial interests influence your ability to get the facts of a story (or whether a story is presented at all)? How much can politics or intimidation affect whether a story is presented? How much editorializing can a reporter (or their boss) inject before a story is biased?
Go see it. Support this movie.
Then consider a bit about how the press often works today.
