This is a great movie. A true must-see, and the acting is fantastic!
Tough titty, Katie.
I have no doubt that men would do this too, but it generally doesn't happen.
But boy, oh boy, it sure does happen the other way. Men know it. And most rational women know it too. Only the rabid leftists rail that it is a slander, because they know it is true, but it doesn't fit their narrative of the "unempowered woman" being exploited by men.
The most recent case in point:
Corrupt and tied to the media.
Trump is showing us the perils of the Media-Government Complex.
How a young reporter’s affair with a top government staffer became the center of a classified leak investigation
Bump. It’s a good movie!
All of Clint E’s stuff is quality,to the point and fact. That is all any well rounded normal american needs to know.
All his work has been proven to be excellent
“I saw it and thought it was awesome!”
We saw it the first day it was out. I hesitated because I am so bothered by any situation where someone is falsely accused, and I didn’t think I could handle it. I did go; it was excellent.
And the floozie reporter — 20 years ago, what are the chances she DIDN’T trade sex for a story? The Hamm FBI character leaked the story to her. Why? Out of the kindness of his little pea-pickin’ heart? Doubtful.
It may have been unfair to imply that Kathy Scruggs had sex with an FBI agent to get her tip about Jewell. But to deny that it never happens...? It’s the height of media hypocrisy.
What the media routinely does is almost as bad: they promise to make their contacts, tippers, and “whistleblowers” into stars.
Partisan Media Shills update.
The corrupt FBI and media make the other 5% look bad.
I’ll go a bit further. I’ll watch it when it shows up on my “On Demand” movie list and is free.
I have considered movies to be grossly overpriced when adult tickets hit $1.00.
Rotten Tomatoes audience score: 96%
Yeah...same with Russia
“Why might he have chosen, at this perilous moment in our history, to make a movie that depicts not just the press but also the FBI as fundamentally corrupt and uninterested in the truth?”
Notice the critic understands that this is a true story and not something Eastwood concocted to slander the FBI or the press. He just takes issue that Eastwood is “choosing to depict” this truth, rather than letting it be swept under the rug and forgotten like a good little leftist drone.
Because it shows how corrupt the FBI is.
Nope, they don’t care about that
However it does show how corrupt the media is
That is what they care about, and they can’t have that.
Folks, this is a movie to take your family and even liberal friends to see.
The parallels with what the FBI has done with Donald Trump and those around him are stunning.
HOORAY Clint
I really liked Sam Rockwell as Jewell’s attorney Watson Bryant.
And Eastwood didn’t pull any punches with Richard Jewell. He portrayed him warts and all.
I saw the movie. I don’t usually take in movies but I thought I would see it to show my contempt for the powers that be. I didn’t really expect much. I didn’t think Richard Jewell was a very sympathetic character for one reason. But, I found it was really a good movie and the subject was very sympathetic. Jewell is what elite liberals look at and see a “redneck” ignorant, backwards etc. and that is why it is easy for them to pounce on it. He was in fact a very ordinary low talent person. He was over zealous and wanted to be something he was not. But, in one short stroke fate played out and he was in spite of himself a hero. After that it was quickly taken away from him and his past and everything about him was held up to scorn and ridicule. But, good in the end won out and he was a very sympathetic under dog that the average person could relate to.
