This is one film I wont miss as it is a true story and about journalist's courage and integrity. The other movie for 2015 of this kind was Spotlight which after all receive the Spotlight. But not this one even with its many known actors. In the end I might draw my own conclusion as to why that came about.
Seem that this movie escaped the recent Globe Awards radar. No mentioned at all. Thou i havent seen Cate Blanchette performance in Carol which she was nominated as best actress, but I've her here. She's good as always. Not good enough to be nominated ? Thats another question.
Ok here are the array of stars in Truth - Blanchette, Redford, Topher Grace, Quaid, Keach, Greenwood, Mulroney and others. Even that guy who was at the HQ control in Pacific Rim, I thought I saw in this movie.
After you see this movie you tend to relate to what is going on in the real world not only is US but in our country. How the truth is manipulated to become a conspirancy and in the end the brave Journalists are the ones who got kicked in the Ass. Worst for the TV network CBS in this one. A few top executives were asked to resigned, all in the team even the Executive Director (Mary played by CB) got fired and the anchor man (Dan Rather played by Redford) got demoted. In the process it showed that covering the US President's ass is more important than the truth. It is for the record that if the story was aired before the presidential election, Al Gore would have become president because this showed how Bush cheated to be in the National Guard. Then we may not have 911 and Iraq would probably still be under Sadam. The world might be a better place (or a worser kind ?). Mary's personal problem resulted that didnt happen.
There's one acronym that the team shared which was FEA. I thought it was Fear (without the r) but its something else. Click here to know what it is
Its a very good truthful movie that happened in our past that we may know of and would have changed the world if things work the other way round. Sadly we dont have any of these kind of guys here.
