No one wants to wade into dark waters. But someone has to. It was Rob Bilott who spent 16 years fighting DuPunt, a titan of chemical industry churning out PFOA, to safeguard the interests of people whose precarious health was attributable to said hazardous substance in drinking water and the Teflon flu. It's a reflection and a reminder of the dark history.
"American business is better than this, gentlemem. And when it's not, we should hold them to it. That's how you build faith in the system. We're always arguing that companies are people. Well these people have crossed the line!"
A / 絲毫不慷慨激昂，甚至是陰鬱而深邃的，更像是一部鬥爭者的心靈狀態史。但它又並未刻意地挖掘某種機械、分明的心理層次，而是捕捉人物的氣息和動態，捕捉光芒的波動與消逝，捕捉所處空間中的沉默與壓抑，捕捉迅速被抹去的時間罅隙。因而極其自如地牽引着敘事的遊絲，並超越了傳統維權故事的界限：不僅關乎奪回權利，更關乎不斷質問的姿態——哪怕這種姿態已萬分疲憊。
欒總帶飛在紐約amc看的，周二下午半價真得勁兒，我說要我跟這兒念書肯定天天周二泡電影院，欒總批語：那你得看學不學得過來。留學生活不易啊。回到影片，本子略平，但可能追求的就是這種紀實感；我愛Ruffalo，但是這回髮型一般；海瑟薇略出戲，演大女主演慣了這次演supporting wife感覺力道沒整好，我心中最適合這個角色的是Michelle Williams；轉戰現實主義題材政治驚悚片，海因斯不功不過，但是最擅長的情緒表達沒有了，有些可惜。最後那個line：They are not gonna fight for us; we fight for ourselves. 人不自救無人救，動人。
Companies are not protecting us, government is not protecting us, WE are protecting us. 深有同感，社會信任的脆弱和強大都在於人跟人之間的紐帶。導演把這個真實故事的冗長和無力拍出來了，真實世界的成功往往不是一瞬間的高潮，沒有高光時刻的英雄反而更有英雄的樣子吧
「You are still here」 「the system doesn』t protect us, we protect us」 想做一件對的事需要多大的代價 承受多少孤獨 但是意義真的很重大 最後的99%還是讓人毛骨悚然 有一個小小的不太重要的細節很感動 sarah在說rob小時候搬了很多次家 after you and I come along we became home, 這一點還真是意外的感同身受
