       Who would ever guess that a movie about a "small" newspaper like
       The Post could actually be a fun movie to watch. Put this in the
       hands of Steven Spielberg, alongside the powerhouse acting of
       Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep and you have a pretty good chance of
       an enjoyable movie from start to finish. The pacing of the film
       is what drives this movie and that's why Spielberg is one of the
       greatest film makers ever and he does a fantastic job keeping
       everything humming along. As for the story itself, it's about
       The Washington Post publishing the Pentagon Papers and how Nixon
       was trying to squash freedom of speech and the Free Press. Sound
       familiar? Now I don't know if anyone involved, namely Steven,
       Tom or Meryl ever came out and said explicitly this was their
       statement on today's attack against the Free Press. But because
       the movie is so relevant to what's happening now, watching The
       Post has to be a BIG MIDDLE FINGER to the current
       administration. There's no getting around the subtext of the
       film at all. Okay, with that out of the way, I highly recommend
       you check out the movie. It's a great way to learn a little bit
       more about our history, something I only had a marginal
       understanding of as it was something I ever went deeper on
       beyond just the "basic" knowledge. A lot of great supporting
       actors to be found here as well. Too many to name. Check it out.

       With the Whistleblower Complaint roiling Washington and the rest
       of America the last 2 days, my mind just keeps coming back to
       The Post.
