The first trailer forThe Post , Steven Spielberg ’s latest historic dramatic event , has been released online . asterisk the the like of Oscar winner Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep ( among others ) , the film is base on the unfeigned story ofWashington Postjournalists who break the Pentagon Papers - which were documents that detailed the United States ' political and military involvement in Vietnam from a period of over two decades . They were noteworthy for illustrating secret bombings , foray , and other approach America staged in the area ( which were never reported in the media ) , give away that the governance had lie in to the world .
Though the newspaper first win far-flung notoriety in aNew York Timesarticle , Spielberg ’s motion-picture show - judging from its form of address - concerns itself with Ben Bradlee ( Hanks ) and Katherine Graham ’s ( Streep ) fight for their right to publish the content of the Pentagon Papers in their newspaper . The topic of the sensitive battling against political corruption is quite apropos due to the current climate , makingThe Postall the more hoped-for .

The trailer does a nice caper of setting up the independent conflict in the film , centre on Bradlee and Graham ’s travail to find the Page of the Pentagon Papers so they can expose the dishonest American government . As one can expect , those in Washington are n’t exactly thrilled by the vista of being outed , and the paper face mounting press from President Richard Nixon while they spurt ahead in pursuit of justice . The bet are quite high , as the ultimate determination of whether to write the mental object of the Papers or not could spell doom for the party . At one degree , Bradlee says thePostemployees could go to prison , but he ’s committed to uncovering the Sojourner Truth for the American people .
Interestingly enough , The Posthas multiple connectedness to old fact - based paper drama . Co - writer Josh Singer receive an Oscar a duet yr ago for his work onSpotlight , take a shit it all the more easier for cinephiles to pull parallels between the two ( trade the Catholic church for the American government ) . The looming scourge of Nixon harken back to 1976 ’s classicAll the President ’s Men , which detailed Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein ’s photo of the Watergate scandal - something thatWashington Postexecutive editor Bradlee oversaw . Jason Robards won an Academy Award for his performance as Bradlee in that cinema , so Hanks has a tall order to meet up against . If the footage is any evidence , he was more than up to the labor .
We ’re currently in the thick of Oscar season , and to date , no clear frontrunner has come out on the awards electrical circuit , allow the wash as open as it ’s been in age . With just about all the major categories up for grabs , The Post(considering it ’s of eminent timbre ) may be able to gain traction apace and emerge as a key player . Given all the talent it has behind and in front of the camera , it would n’t storm anyone ifThe Postscored multiple nominations and took home some gold when it ’s all said and done .
