Lynsey Addario: 电影《内战》中对女性战地记者的刻画是积极的,展现了战地记者工作的真实性和复杂性,但电影未能深入探讨战地记者工作的真正意义和驱动力,仅仅将其描绘成一场在战火中的公路旅行,忽略了战地记者工作的艰辛和付出,以及他们所面临的质疑和挑战。资深战地记者的形象过于冷漠,缺乏情感深度,未能充分展现他们内心的挣扎和情感变化。电影中对战地记者与士兵之间关系的刻画较为成功,展现了他们之间独特的纽带和相互依赖。但电影未能充分展现平民在冲突中的遭遇,以及战地记者与平民之间的互动和关系。 随着时间的推移,Lynsey Addario对工作的投入和情感表达反而更加强烈,而非麻木。她认为,战地记者的工作需要在实践中学习,并从同行身上学习经验。每个战地记者的风险承受能力都不同,并且会根据具体情况而变化。在团队合作中,成员之间的风险承受能力应保持一致,以确保安全。在危险环境中,团队成员之间需要就风险评估达成一致,否则可能导致严重后果。拥有值得信赖的团队至关重要。在利比亚被绑架前,她预感会有危险发生,并因此感到麻木和无力拍照。电影中资深战地记者在白宫崩溃的场景不够真实,因为在危急时刻,肾上腺素会占据主导地位。 Lynsey Addario认为,记者的处境发生了巨大变化,不再像以前那样受到尊重,甚至面临生命危险。政府杀害记者的行为屡见不鲜,且往往逍遥法外,这严重阻碍了新闻报道工作的进行。公众对记者的尊重程度不如以往,许多记者遭到蓄意杀害。蓄意杀害记者的行为应该被视为战争罪行。记者的工作对于了解世界局势,特别是战区情况至关重要。她虽然经历过创伤,但拥有强大的心理承受能力和支持系统。她从事战地报道是为了影响政策、告知公众、改变公众对事件的认知,以及记录人权侵犯和战争罪行。战地记者的工作是为了阻止不公正行为,让公众了解真相。她不断地反思自己工作的意义和影响,并考虑其对家人和朋友的影响。她相信自己的工作能够产生积极的影响,并坚持从事新闻报道工作。战地记者的工作无法被无人机或机器人取代,因为它需要人际互动和同理心。电影《内战》对战地报道的刻画不够全面,忽略了平民在冲突中的遭遇。 Brooke Gladstone: 作为访谈者,Brooke Gladstone主要负责引导话题,并对Lynsey Addario的观点进行回应和补充。
