剧情介绍
Directors Jonathan Alter, John Block and Steve McCarthy bring New York columnists Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill’s courageous writing to life, celebrating the acclaimed journalists and the city they loved.
Two men defined newspaper reporting in late 20th century New York. They understood the streets, the people and events that shape their lives. Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill mark the end of a tradition, city reporters telling the story of their city while presiding over the death of their trade. They were more than writers. This film is a history of their work and their lives told in their words because no one else is qualified to tell the tale.
When you’re too moved by something, you laugh with it, you cry with it, and at the end you just sit there, in complete silence, thinking about doing it again.
纪录片本身比较杂乱，但意义非凡。
那是一个充满民生的时代，而现在呢，对民生的关注是短暂而微弱的
The need for narrative is never going to go away.
放在魔幻的 2020 年看，过于应景了。

你活着是为了快乐吗
泪目，外表小于智慧，智慧小于精神，精神小于信仰，信仰就是fight for what you believe
越来越喜欢看传记了，很有意思！In the marriage, everybody hates everybody. It was wonderful! Never boring.
到了结尾，新闻界就这么死了，像极了《美国工厂》最后时刻出现的机器人，把富有感情的文字施加在弱者和事实上的新闻人、自由派知识分子、为真实而战的斗士
relevantly irrelevant/frivolous.
纸媒最后的辉煌人物，给我们提出了一个沉重的课题:在这个数据至上、党同伐异的互联网传媒时代，谁能在民意的洪流中为自由与正义求得一线生机呢？
纪念一个逝去的时代，和时代必需产物。纸媒的兴衰成败是时代发展的必然结果，幸运的是，它的确有过容光焕发的时刻，也有那样一群人曾经见证过那样的时刻。
卑鄙是卑鄙者的通行证，高尚是高尚者的墓志铭。透过这部纪录片再去评价和分析当事人的所作所为已经没多大意义了，当事人的所作所为会造成何种结果，这才是最重要的一点。如果Breslin是抱着行善的目的，最后却做成一件坏事，那他就是蠢货；反之如果最后做成一件好事，那他就是英雄。除此之外，任何企图越过事情的结果，单凭主观想法去揣测和解构Breslin的真实动机的行为都是流氓。
