The Post

Kay Graham: It wasn't an accident. Phil's suicide. I don't know why people insist on calling it an accident. Is it to make them feel better? Or do they think they're being kind?

Kay Graham: Catastrophic events... do occur, you know.

Ben Bradlee: Is anybody else tired of reading the news instead of reporting it?!

Copy Editor: Have the courts ever stopped a paper from publishing before?
Fritz Beebe: Not in the history of the republic.
Arthur Parsons: Good thing we're not part of this mess.
Ben Bradlee: I'd give my left one to be in this mess.

Daniel Ellsberg: The study had 47 volumes...

Daniel Ellsberg: Wouldn't you go to prison to stop this war?
Ben Bagdikian: Theoretically, sure.
Daniel Ellsberg: You are gonna publish these documents?
Ben Bagdikian: ... Yeah.
Daniel Ellsberg: Even with the injunction?
Ben Bagdikian: Yes.
Daniel Ellsberg: Well, then it's not so theoretical then, is it?

Ben Bradlee: I never thought of Jack as a source, I thought of him as a friend. And that was my mistake. And it was something that Jack knew all along. We can't be both. We have to choose. ... The way they lied. The way they lied. Those days have to be over. We have to be the check on their power. If we don't hold them accountable, I mean, my God, who will?

Fritz Beebe: If the government wins and we're convicted... The Washington Post as we know it will cease to exist.
Ben Bradlee: If we live in a world where the government can tell us what we can and cannot print... then The Washington Post as we know it has already ceased to exist.


Ben Bradlee: What will it look like if we sit on our asses?
Arthur Parsons: It'll look like we were prudent.
Ben Bradlee: It will look like we were afraid! We will lose! The country will lose! Nixon wins! Nixon wins this one, and the next one... and all the ones after that, because we were scared. Because the only way to assert the right to publish is to publish.

Ben Bradlee: She says, we publish.

Kay Graham: You know that quote? That quote... "A woman preaching is like a dog walking on its hind legs. It's not done well... and you're surprised to see it's done at all." Samuel Johnson.
Lally Graham: Oh, Mummy... Well, it's a bunch of nonsense.
Kay Graham: No, but that's the way we all thought then... you know? I was never supposed to be in this job.

Ben Bradlee: What are you so happy about?
Ben Bagdikian: I always wanted to be part of a small rebellion.

Ben Bradlee: No matter what happens tomorrow, we are not a little local paper anymore.

Meg Greenfield: Listen up, everybody. Listen up. Justice Black's opinion... "The founding fathers gave the free press... the protection it must have... to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors."

Kay Graham: You know what my husband said about the news? He called it the first rough draft of history. That's good, isn't it? Oh, well, we don't always get it right, you know? We're not always perfect, but I think if we just keep on it, you know? That's the job, isn't it?

Σ varlamov: «Стивен Спилберг снова продемонстрировал свое удивительное мастерство. Безупречно сделанная, блистательно сыгранная, насыщенная множеством убедительных исторических деталей, его картина The Post (в нашем прокате — «Секретное досье») держит в напряжении от первой секунды до последней. Это фильм про привычный до зубной боли конфликт журналистского долга и политической лояльности. Историю борьбы за свободу слова Спилберг превращает в глубокую человеческую драму. В центре сюжета — женщина, унаследовавшая от покончившего с собой мужа газету The Washington Post и массу дружеских контактов в политической элите страны. Но Кэтрин Грэм — никакой не бизнесмен и не журналист, она мать, бабушка и светская дама. Именно поэтому так интересно следить за тем, как ей приходится делать свой личный выбор, который оборачивается общенациональным скандалом в США. ...»
