So I recently watched The Post and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado.........
Katharine Graham (played by Meryl Streep) is the first female publisher of a major American newspaper -- The Washington Post. With help from editor Ben Bradlee (played by Tom Hanks), Graham races to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spans three decades and four U.S. presidents. Together, they must overcome their differences as they risk their careers -- and very freedom -- to help bring long-buried truths to light.
This film is special for a lot of reasons mainly by bring together the main trio involved with the film. You have the greatest director of all-time in Stephen Spielberg, the greatest actress of all-time in Meryl Streep and one of the greatest actors of all-time in Tom Hanks all together in this film and that's something you don't get to see that often. The both give remarkable performances and both of which could possibly be nominated for Oscars in each of their respective acting categories. The film does a great job of bringing to light all of these scandals especially in the political climate we are living in today and it's really ballsy to make a political stand. Now while that is great, films really shouldn't be about political points of view and this film really does lean towards one side and in doing that you alienate one half of the possible audience which causes your film not to be seen by many people. The film also feels like another version of Spotlight and how it's about a group of people working at a newspaper trying to the mystery behind some very devious acts. The film also feels rushed a lot of points the film is trying to make just don't come across as appealing as they could've been. Overall this film does a great job bringing to life the story behind everything these people did by bringing together some of the greatest group of talent we've ever seen on the big screen, but the film pushes a political agenda that doesn't fit everyone and it does really expand upon the details brought forward in the film. i give The Post an 8 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of The Post, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
