[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 349999, member: 57"] The Post (2017) "Based on true events", the story of how neophyte publisher of the Washington Post, Katharine Graham, decided to publish what became known as the Pentagon Papers. Meryl Streep is known for the way she buries herself in her roles, and Tom Hanks matches her here as editor Bill Bradlee. I had no idea it was him until the cast was revealed at the end. It occurred to me part way through that this amounted to a sort of prequel to [I]All the President's Men[/I] (in which Jason Robards played Bradlee) and Steven Spielberg must have thought the same because he ends this film with an enactment of the discovery of the Watergate break-in. All in all, a gripping newspaper drama but not the best of the genre. [/QUOTE]
