Plot Review
A Steven Spielberg film starring the stalwarts - Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks , the credentials say it all - a classic which leaves u spell bounded . The plot is set in 1971 where the press first published the Pentagon papers which unveiled the nature of the military involvement of U.S. Government in the Vietnam war . The story revolves around Kay Graham , the first female publisher of Washington Post , and the struggles she has to face being a woman. In the times when every statement she makes is scorned at , she takes a rebellious decision to publish the Government secrets and stands by it . Deftly played by Meryl Streep , dignity personified , she has a regal aura around her . Yet she subtly brings out the vulnerability in her character . And very highly complemented by Tom Hanks , who plays the role of her editor Ben Bradlee . He sinks into the character so smoothly - the little trivia that he never sits in his chair but is either seen sitting on the table , or standing with one leg on the table or sitting on the floor with all the papers spread , does not go unnoticed . He plays the guy on the field who gets the job done . He is Kay’s rock solid support when she has to make the difficult decision of going against the Government . And what more to say , it’s a Steven Spielberg film , such meticulous screen play , such technical brilliance . One of those classics delivered by Steven Spielberg yet again . My verdict - Don’t miss this film !! One of those rare masterpieces which come once in a while .
