惊天告密

莫妮卡在里面看着好老啊，皱巴巴的T_T
嗯，其实类似题材的电影看过不少，无非是一个有正义感的人敢于冒着生命危险揭露某些阴暗面，并且以正义最终战胜邪恶为结局，一句话，煞笔，但是这部片子亮就亮在结尾处的几行字啊，Kathy揭露了丑陋的现实，却没有人为这样的罪恶买单，这个邪恶的组织并没有受到惩罚，不过是把公司解散了而已，换个名字照样接单干活，鬼知道他们是不是继续这样的勾当，并且Kathy从此没有能再参与类似的工作，再一次证明“未被同化”的人是为体制所不容的啊！！！哪里都有黑暗啊摔！！！

对于一个纪录电影来说，挖掘的深度已经到达了对人性拷问的程度。印象最深的是女主问女孩子你到底和不和我走的时候。剧情在两个女人的对峙下达到情绪的高潮。用女性主义的角度去剖析它是很简单的。无论是开头女主因为热爱工作，而没能得到女儿的监护权；还是故事发生地点是一个男性占大多数的公司；被虐待女孩的照片成为缺失女性权利最有力的佐证。对，我说这是很简单的观点因为我觉得女性主义已经被用烂了。研究生什么都可以套上一套理论。即使有理有据，但只是乘前人之荫。所以对于女主和女二的对峙上升到对人性懦弱的展现，作为观众表示十分惊喜。
要说主旨精神，这部片子和真探的基调十分相似。都是质疑人类在罪恶面前是否会屈服于权利和诱惑。描绘的人性阴暗面又和处女之死挺像的。处女们和妓女们在影片的最后都没有得到拯救。所以这就是为什么我看完这片子心情非常低落。
最让我惊讶的是看完这个发生在完全不一样世界里的故事居然让我想到了发生在我身边的事。这种屈服于权利，为了暂时的安全而放弃自己的自尊的情节屡屡皆是。最明显的例子就是装逼了。最近又和朋友们讨论起了优越感的来源与生成。来到这辈子读过的第三个大学，我越来越发现人性的弱点都是相似的。好像贬低别人变成了一种天经地义的事情。做什么说什么都可以成为划分自己与他人界限的理由。而因为害怕被孤立和不认可，更是可以牺牲自己的灵魂和自尊与现实世界的既定价值做交换。在电影是用灵魂交换命，那还可以理解。至少女孩子还曾经有勇气站出来指认凶手。我是不懂身边的男男女女。电影里女孩子的代价是生命啊。在极度的恐惧之下做出不明智的决定会让人觉得是一种悲剧的美。换作是我，自问也不一定能把握住自己最后仅存的理智。但身边衣食无忧的年轻人的心理状态我就不甚了解了。牺牲自己牺牲得毫无价值和美感。
是不是我挖掘出他们的美感我就能写出剧本了。想到这个就心好累。不想再写影评了。不知道还要读多少书才能理解他们。还要担着有生之年都可能理解不了的准备。不多说了。我看书去了。

像这样一部黑色现实题材的片子
我不给5星都难啊

故事不做累述。
若想质疑其真实度，可以稍稍wiki，再买书看。
虽然我也没看过，但以史为鉴，可以辨别。

我要说的不是这个现实问题怎么解决，
也不是对我们有什么启示，
毕竟说了也没多少人会在意，
更何况还说不清楚。

我依然喜欢提的还是关于人的问题。
你说为什么有些人可以丧心病狂，有些人可以十恶不赦，
有些人可以视而不见听而不闻？
嘿，但终究还是有些人可以fight for Justice。尤其还是one women's fight for Justice

嘿嘿 要我说，这还是生命力的问题。
这也是我标题的意思。
如果说，我们腐朽的体制和环境会慢慢腐蚀人的心灵，那么生命力越是旺盛的家伙，越是难以被蚕食和消灭。

所谓死人脸，影片中给的很到位。
就是满脸颓废，或者面瘫样，或者呆滞，或者害怕和恐惧。
死人的世界不消说就是——地狱。

不过这是在人间，所以还不全是死人。
还有几个骷髅头。
稍微注意一下：影片里给我们这正派的镜头角度都是有棱有角的“骷髅头”形象。

一脸死气是因为灵魂中缺少了点东西，
或者说内心早已被蒙蔽，一种将死未死的状态。
而骷髅头，就是死过的人，而且死的非常彻底，以至于历经多年都没有消失的白骨。

到底有着多么重的怨念啊~
2次失败婚姻，被判给丈夫的女儿，再加一次异域的有妇之夫.....
这个骷髅真是太硬了。够硬，所以够英雄。

所谓生命力，总是在自然法则中运行的。
自然界有着同化和异化作用，但是最终还是有无法同化的东西
可以同化的就被吸收，不能被同化的就被排泄到外界去更自由也更辗转的循环。而我们的社会也差不多。
所以顺便说一句，如果以后有人骂你是一坨屎，可以把它当做赞赏。

Talking With Kathryn Bolkovac About Her Experience as The Whistleblower

Posted: 08/16/11 07:48 PM ET



After seeing (and reviewing) The Whistleblower, I contacted Kathryn Bolkovac, whose story is the basis of the movie, and interviewed her. Her answers speak for themselves, but also give such a sense of her persona, grit and determination.

FOSTER: You were faced with a situation where the people you worked with were engaged in something very shocking. Do you have any insight as to how or why they got involved with trafficking?

I really do not think there is clear cut answer for this. Everyone is an individual and is accountable to their individual behavior and potential illegal actions they committed and continue to commit in current missions. I think most people are truly just plain complicit in their thinking and tend to not get involved or look the other way to avoid any form of accountability, especially if they think that something does not directly affect them for their position. Then there is the group of people who can easily be swayed to join in on a pack mentality, who are morally and mentally weak or ignorant. When conditions are right as they have been and still are in many overseas missions around the world, or if they think they will not be caught or judged then it is easy for them to engage in illegal and corrupt behavior. They try to justify and minimize their actions. Finally, there are individuals who are just plain evil and corrupt, they see the money making potential of preying on the helpless and needy, and exploit every opportunity they can to make a buck, especially in an industry that involves sex. They are very good at dehumanizing, denial, and lying about what is going on.

FOSTER: What do you think needs to be done to address the trafficking issue? What can government do?

The trafficking issue at large is too complex to tackle with sweeping reform. There are so many different types of human trafficking each with different dynamics of funding the corruption. Obviously, many adults choose to be trafficked... or illegally transported across many borders to escape horrendous conditions in their own countries. These issues cannot be convoluted with organized criminal syndicates who are providing services to internationals all over the world, in the form of trafficking for forced prostitution. They are involved in the recruitment, abuse, desensitization, and sale of human flesh, into international missions as sex workers. This is what I want to discuss and what I think we can make a huge impact on based on my experiences as a former law enforcement officer, former UN employee, former representative of our U.S. government overseas, and as a former employee of one of the largest private government contractors in the world DynCorp.

FOSTER: What can our government do?

First, in the short term, the United States needs to take a serious look at why we are willing to allow private companies to engage in the profession of law enforcement. Government contractors are a needed and viable means to get many logistical and re-construction efforts accomplished. They are not a viable means for a protection force or as a mechanism for the use in training law enforcement officers in emerging democracies. Law enforcement is not a business. Policing is a calling. Does anyone really believe that private corporations are in this policing and operational mission business for anything but the money? We need to set an example with our own federal police selection units, perhaps via the Department of Justice as an example, why can we not recruit and most importantly train our own community police officers before we send them into these missions? My book accurately describes the pathetic training offered by the private company who sent me overseas, which I am sure was heavily subsidized with my tax dollars. It was a disgrace; none of us had even the minimum knowledge or idea of what we were supposed to be doing once we got into Bosnia.

If we are to continue to send "rent a cops " overseas with inadequate knowledge and inadequate protections from corrupt private companies, some of whom had serious questionable policing backgrounds we might want to stop and think about how this damages our reputation and our goals. The private company who fired me had free reign to treat me however they saw fit, no one was in authority to stop them. They were exempt from all U.S. government accountability and have never been held accountable for what they did to me to this day. How has this changed? It has not.

Second, get the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (CEJA) out of committee and get it passed. It has been more than 12 years overdue. [NOTE: CEJA would allow the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute government contractors and employees for certain crimes committed overseas. It would complement the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA), which provides similar criminal jurisdiction over Department of Defense employees and contractors but does not clearly apply to U.S. contractors working overseas for other federal agencies.]

Third, make government contractors accountable for their employee actions, by putting a clause in their contracts that require them to facilitate and allow oversight of both external and internal investigations by outside government agencies, when probable cause exists that employees are suspected, or implicated in criminal offenses. They must cooperate in the facilitation of prosecutions. They can no longer just fire people, and hope the problem goes away, which automatically curtails any further investigation.

Fourth, set examples by having the means available to prosecute and convict with meaningful sentences.

FOSTER: What can individuals do?

Learn, read, report, and stop burying your heads in the sand. Many of the people involved in these crimes could be your next door neighbor.

Get local law enforcement initiatives started, and ask your police chiefs this question. What kind of training is being offered to your new recruits and officers on the streets to recognize and investigate all forms of human trafficking?

Do you think a local police chief in the hills of Northern New Mexico, or in the farming community of southern Illinois, is even going to know what we are talking about? Does the local hotel have young female Hispanics working in the housekeeping department? They do not speak English, they have no documents, does he know what wage they are being paid and in what form? Think about it. I have been in these places have you?

FOSTER: Many of the women and girls who are trafficked are promised jobs that don't materialize. What do you think would be effective to get the word out to them so that fewer of them fall prey to these types of promises?

The only effect we can have on this is to stop the demand.

FOSTER: How did you sustain yourself?

Continued faith in our justice system, lots of hard workouts and sweat, many tears and my husband would make me a strong gin tonic with lots of lemon and ice once in a while.

制片人希望能让观众受到片中那些被迫卖淫女性受到残暴对待的镜头影响，所以增加了拉亚一角，来给予这些受害人一张真实的面孔。
电影首次在多伦多放映期间，一位观众因片中的暴力镜头晕倒，大部分强奸的镜头因此遭到删减。

对此薇兹表示：
我完全理解，让人看这些东西的确太痛苦了。
真实情况还要惨烈得多。
我的意思是，第一个接触这些青年女性的人的故事中我能够告诉你的还只有这个“低调”的版本，如果你能够接受这样的内容。
不过，这不是纪录片，你不希望（在里面）毁掉谁。
你只想阐明一些事情，它的实际情况还要惨上百倍。

联合国秘书长潘基文主持了电影的一次放映，并承诺会采取措施，防止联合国工作人员参与色情人口贩卖活动。
对此波克瓦克回应：“不幸的是，恐惧已经广泛散布。纠正之路将会很复杂，并且无法速战速决。”她还表示，除波斯尼亚外，维和人员在尼日利亚、科索沃、布隆迪、塞拉利昂、刚果、利比里亚、柬埔寨、伊拉克、阿富汗、海地、哥伦比亚、几内亚和苏丹都存在侵犯人权的行径。
康达基对此表示自己打算保持乐观，希望电影的放映能够“让人们对联合国参与性交易人口贩卖及其它犯罪活动展开真正的讨论和思考。”但她也担心电影可能不会产生预期的持久影响：“我知道我们会听到很多说法，说自本片上映以来都已经采该了哪些措施，但到目前为止这些都还只是说辞。实际情况已经出现升级。

”《告密者》在院线上映后，《卫报》报道称有联合国官员试图淡化电影中描绘的事件，并且打击波斯尼亚境内人口贩卖的行动已遭中止。

戴阳国际发言人阿什利·伯克（Ashley Burke）称：

我没看过那部电影，所以无法对其内容作出评价，但是我可能告诉大家，我们联系影片发行商试图了解电影的更多信息时得知，影片不是改编自波克瓦克女士的著作，而是是受到她经历启发所做的‘虚构戏剧化呈现’。我们也没有威胁采取法律行动来要求他们不得在片中使用公司的真实名称。

很抱歉，以上是我转载的内容，我觉得这更有一定的说服力
首先，电影里出现的公司名称戴阳国际是真实存在的，并且戴阳国际也一直在参与联合国的各种事物（业务），最终联合国秘书长潘也组织观看了此片，相信会有所动作！

但.....弱肉抢食

这片子是今年第一次看片后有去查资料去翻历史的冲动的片子，根据真实故事改编往往都是些有着撼动能力的片子。今天一直在找有没有类似的片子，没有，真没有，后来想想这也是应该的，一，历史是不容复制的；二，政治丑闻不是那么随随便便可以浮出于众。更可见它的难得。
为何会这样？
打着人道主义的口号，做着人性泯灭的事；作为维持秩序正义的人，做着游走于法律之下的事情。一直认为任何一件事的发生归根究底都会有一个根本原因的诱使，同样像他们也一样，原因就是这些人都有一个保护伞------外交豁免权。没有法律的制裁以及监督，残暴一览无遗，当同伙壮大，这种现象根本是无法想象的。就像战后的波黑。
或许会觉得前半段有些冗长，但是看后回想起来，几乎每一句台词，在片后的对比都是一只强力拳，足以打碎那些虚伪的正义。
关于制度
波黑是一个多名族国家，存在强烈的宗教间矛盾，92年三个民族围绕波黑前途和领土划分等问题开战。战后联合国派遣维和部队来重建，但是这却为他们带来了新一轮的灾难。看电影里为了可以保护那两个女孩凯瑟琳算是恳求那个部门的女同事，但是她只会冰冷地重复制度、规矩。可是他们呢？凌驾于制度之上，游走于法律之下，还不如强盗。
关于人口贩卖
07年李扬拍《盲山》，在国际上大受欢迎，可在Z国却被打入禁片的冷宫，一不露肉，二不暴力，但却被禁，因为揭露了一个残酷的现状----人口贩卖。看片时我也在假想如果我也是个被贩卖去的人怎么办？看不到明天，活着和死了差不多，估计八成选择咬舌自尽，赶紧投胎。“每一天都会有女孩被贩卖”，
关于媒体
媒体的本质，永远是一个向霸权献媚、为强盗歌颂、毫无道德可言毫无廉耻之心的妓女本质。 这是大众的普遍认知。不过片中的这个真相有幸可以公之于众，很庆幸它越过了美国，是靠BBC以另一种方式报道了出来，BBC和此事没有直接的利益冲突。作为媒体的良知从始至终都是个模棱两可的问题，如果太敢说真话，最终嘴是会被封住的。即使看过这部片，这个看法我还是不会改变。
关于最后
最后想说，Z国永远不会拍这种片子，甚至播出

整部影片几乎都处于黑暗背景下，即使在白天，也是出于幽暗闭塞的楼体，浓雾阴暗的天气乃至茂密的丛林中。贯穿着一股压抑，灰败的气氛。
承认是因为莫妮卡贝鲁奇才看的电影，但最终吸引我的不是性感女神，而单单是一个故事。
请原谅我的浅薄，我无法理解为什么有的人批判这部电影为题材陈旧。任何一个国家，在一部公映的影片中，刻画一桩政治丑闻，不得不说，这都是一种勇气。
影片确实处处透露美国的个人英雄主义，但与大多数商业片不同的是，我认为这不是一部单纯为了娱乐和票房诞生出的影片。现代社会原本人们引以为豪的艺术越发沦为牟利的工具，电影，书，音乐，越来越趋向同一化。变得越发没有内涵，我看到的是利益和浅薄。批量化生产的荧幕英雄带给我们的也无非是一笑置之而就此忘却。
而在这个人们无处释放压力的快节奏社会里，我们不能对生活和命运的压抑嘶吼，无力反抗，于是依靠电影来娱乐自己释放自己。其实很多时候我都在怀疑，是不是人们都在依靠这些虚拟的世界，依靠画面和数字，来寻找自己，找激情，找青春，找爱，甚至于，找良知。
苦难深埋在世界各个角落，我无法做到对于这样一桩真实发生的，且每天乃至每刻都在发生的悲剧，仅仅冠以一串数字的名头。我有个老师教过，看电影这种事情，外行看内容，内行看形式。但我无法做到。我始终认为，电影存在的意义没有拯救灵魂那么伟大，但至少能让我们看到世界不同的一面，让我们有感知，有感情，在痛苦的时候能因为感觉到自己仍是有血有肉的人，而得到一丝慰藉。
如果电影的存在仅仅只是用来表达或纪念某些形式或拍摄手法，那么我只会觉得那是一种枯燥而毫无意义的传承。最终会被抛弃。
是因为社会颠覆了善有善报的传统，于是人们变得越发麻木，我相信并非人本性冷酷，而是世界教会我们，我们牺牲了自己，却未必能保得他人。惩恶扬善。于是才有了明哲保身，远离是非。
在一些人冰冷的评价着每年250万人口被贩卖时，我只能觉得是一种良知的丧失。也许我们都不是英雄，我们看到卑鄙，却无法对抗，我们做不了女主那样牺牲自我而护卫良知的抉择。从而选择逃避，但是，仍希望在我们可以做的时候，别只觉得处在灾难中的人民，只是一串数字，就像一部电影，只是几个演员，几台机器。
任何一具身体，都透露着生命的气息，在那些女孩惊慌大叫的时候，我亦感到恐惧。作为一个导演，将情感传达出来，就足够让我满意。镜头打在 人性 这个词上的那一刻，我忽然因为自己的善良仅仅只是给没有饭吃的人们几个硬币，而自惭形秽。
英雄是存在的，但当人们麻木时，英雄将被淹没。
不谈道德，仅仅是为了维护生而为人的良知与人性，我们需要面临的都太多。需要付出的也太多。
作为最普通的社会一份子，我们大概时时处在一种被操控中。但仍愿相信希望，并保有对生活最基本的希望与热忱。坚定的走下去。
