Bombshell the movie is a blockbuster movie that depicts, with equal parts amusement and outrage, the explosion that occurs when the women of Fox News Channel dared to bring to light the culture of sexual harassment that had prevailed for so long at the cable television juggernaut.
It’s all about the weighty. And also, serious material with huge stakes emotionally, culturally, and financially. But Roach, working from a script by Charles Randolph, finds a tricky balance of portraying these events. And this is done with a sprightly tone while crafting a steadily building tension. “Bombshell” is both light on its feet and a punch in the gut.
Bombshell The Movie
The Bombshell movie may not change anyone’s minds especially not those viewers who, as the film points out, have the Fox News logo burned into the bottom corner of their TV screens. And this is because they never change the channel. But it also doesn’t try to be fair and balanced.
To borrow the network’s slogan. And its incisive point of view is one of the film’s many great strengths. The movie is a lively and scabrous docudrama. It’s not a snarkfest (though some of it is bitingly funny) but a meticulous, close-to-the-bone chronicle of how Megyn Kelly (played by Charlize Theron),
One of the star anchors of Fox News, and Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman), the host of “Fox & Friends,” brought down the lecherous right-wing mogul-titan Roger Ailes by revealing the veritable system of sexual harassment that he used to run his network. Get more details about bombshell here.
About the Movie Bombshell
The scene stings because it isn’t just that Kelly threw Trump a softball. She aided and abetted the selling of his message. “Bombshell” is a scalding and powerful movie about what selling, in America, has become.
The film is about selling sex, selling a candidate, selling yourself, selling the truth. And about how at Fox News all those things came together. At first, there’s a stark contrast between Kelly’s public image and the dark secret about harassment that she’s carrying around.
A former lawyer who’s known (as she tells us in voice-over) for her big mouth, she has a fast wit and slicing intelligence. Theron, wearing prosthetics that alter her features with convincing subtlety, makes her tough and likable — a straight-shooter with the hardness of a diamond.
Her decision to confront Trump on the issue of women arrives at a moment when Fox is ambivalent about Trump because the network is still weighing his influence. Ailes (John Lithgow), a right-wing ideologue, is also a showbiz junkie with a genius for what it takes to heat up the cool medium of television; he gets Trump and loves him.
But if Ailes is the boss, he’s not the king — that’s Rupert Murdoch (Malcolm McDowell), the corporate baron who, at that point, is still skeptical of Trump.
