We recently watched the movie The Paper. The Paper depicts the life of a journalist Henry Hackett and how his life changed within a day.
It begins as a radio broadcast. Henry wakes up and then goes to work, while his pregnant wife, Martha, tries to take it easy. Henry then uncovers the truth about two young, black teenagers who were falsely accused of murdering two white businessman. Henry, along with his co-worker McDougal, manage to acquire information from an officer. They write an article which prompts the police to release the teenagers. Finally, the movie ends in the same way it started.
The movie depicted a day in the life of a journalist well. Journalists have hectic lives, because they must make sure that they get everything in before deadline. The director, Ron Howard, probably decided to make the movie take place in a day because he wanted to show the rush of journalism. Sometimes, one can feel the craziness that is happening to Henry.
I recommend that you watch it. The movie appeals to people, especially to those who work constantly.
