这个太需要当时的背景知识了,毕竟是个专业新闻网政经相关内容。请了一大群女演员啊,非常好的题材,可惜拍摄手法也求新求异,略出戏,前后如同两个故事,联系性不是很紧密。能把Megyn Kelly遇到的Trump的网络霸凌与后来她站出来跟Gretchen Carlson同一战线对抗Roger Ailes有机整合,才能更深刻更有价值,可惜剧本和导演功力明显不够,浪费了一群女演员啊。。不过细节还是很可以的,比如一直在强调wx是无时无刻不在发生的,在语言的遮掩和态度的软化下,让女性觉得这反而变成了可以原谅的事,而且为了前途和事业,忍受一下也无不可,这种环境营造满分。这个故事还是非常有一看的价值的,甚至想去看美剧了。
Megyn Kelly是Fox新闻网的著名女主播,在对特朗普进行答辩时,用了女性主题,激怒了他,于是推特上开始对她狂轰滥炸,而Fox的主管Roger Ailes是最右翼支持者、特朗普的好友,不让她正面回应。直到一年后,Megyn再次采访特朗普,才停止了对她的攻击。
Gretchen Carlson也是Fox的主播,但她已经被下调了。一直被Roger语言上wx,污辱和贬低,Gretchen做好了各种记录,也找了律师们,准备起诉Roger。
助理Kayla Pospisil一直野心勃勃地想当上主播,有了同性恋人之后,也是不敢在fox公开的,各种巴结之后,获得了见到Roger的资格。不料对Roger来说,女主播们的价值在于美貌的身材,更是提出了wx要求,Kayla震惊又受辱,但只能照做,为了前途。
Gretchen被解雇了,她正式提出了诉讼,但没想到没有一个在职的fox的女职员站起来同她一起反抗起诉。只有几个在Roger担任Fox主管之前的前女职员公开了被wx或者xq的经历。fox内部更是有不少女性毅然组织起了Team Roger,为自己的公司、工作、前途站队。而Megyn一直保持着不一样的沉默,其实她在十多年前也被wx了,不过拒绝了Roger的性要求,但她也不敢站出来,反而默默关注着事态。一方面是有人逼她站队,另一方面她也在寻找着潜在受害者,并发现压榨、wx女性的高管不止Roger一个人。
fox的老板Murdoch家族的两个少爷,也成长了起来,并不想低人一等,等待着机会扳倒Roger。Megyn找到了好几名受害者,渐渐地声音有了不一样。而Kayla最后被问到时,终于放下了一切压力,说了出来,在同性恋人的鼓励下,她也提出了诉讼。Gretchen在得到了多名女性的支持之后,亮出了底牌:所有她记录的Roger否认过的言辞,都是有录音的……这下Murdoch家族马上放弃了Roger,给了遣散费,让他马上走人,也给了女性们赔偿,不过Kayla离开了这看似光鲜的工作,Megyn也觉得日子没好起来多少……资本家都一样,有钱赚就行了。
要求女主播们露腿、穿超短裙、有一点事就暴躁大叫指责,感觉看完明白了为什么特朗普能当总统了……

Bombshell (2019 film) 爆炸新闻
Bombshell is a 2019 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Jay Roach and written by Charles Randolph. The film stars Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, and is based upon the accounts of several women at Fox News who set out to expose CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment. Actors John Lithgow, Kate McKinnon, Connie Britton, Malcolm McDowell, and Allison Janney appear in supporting roles.
The project was first announced in May 2017 following Ailes's death, with Roach confirmed as director the following year. Much of the cast joined that summer and filming began in October 2018 in Los Angeles. It entered into a limited release in the United States on December 13, 2019, before a wide release on December 20, by Lionsgate.
Bombshell received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the performances of the cast (particularly of Theron, Kidman, Robbie, and Lithgow) and the makeup and hairstyling but some criticizing its screenplay and inaccuracies. At the 92nd Academy Awards, it earned three nominations: Best Actress (Theron), Best Supporting Actress (Robbie) and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. The film also received two nominations at the 77th Golden Globe Awards (for Theron and Robbie), four at the 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards (Theron, Robbie, and Kidman, as well as Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture) and three at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards (Theron, Robbie, and Best Makeup and Hair).
