MOVIE REVIEW
-The Post
The story behind The Washington Post's decision to publish
the Pentagon Papers exposing government lies.
The Post
In the summer of 1971 the ship of state during the presidency of Richard Nixon
enters turbulent and dangerous waters when the Pentagon Papers, a Defense
Department report, were given to the press revealing decades of lies about
American involvement in Vietnam. Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys), a research
associate at the Rand Corporation, was the man who watched with a sense of
fulfillment when both The New York Times and The Washington Post published
extensive excerpts from this report. Robert McNamara (Bruce Greenwood), the
Secretary of Defense, has mixed feelings about these swift-moving
developments.
The Nixon Administration succeeds in getting a court injunction against the
Times, hoping to stop publication of the rest of the report. But then The
Washington Post also obtained the documents. Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks),
Executive Editor of The Washington Post, is gung-ho about doing battle and
making history at the same time. But Kay Graham (Meryl Streep), the publisher,
is concerned about how their actions could affect the paper's public offering on
the stock market. The film focuses in on the pressures she faces from many
sides. Will she have the courage to put everything on the line and publish the
truth about the government's lies?
Director Steven Spielberg and screenplay writers Liz Hannah and Josh Singer
are in total harmony about their high and even holy regard for freedom of the
press.
