Michael Mann sold himself, his decisions, and 'The Insider." Charlie Rose was difficult, and his opinions about 'loyalty' to CBS were absolutely unnecessary. This is why Rose being convinced by Mann was significant. The film IS a psychological thriller and a suspense thriller about the complex layers of corporate aggression and the struggle of fighting a foe on the scale of Goliath. The toll the battle took on Bergman, Wigand was pyrrhic. This movie is a total classic.
Charlie Rose openly admitting he’s more concerned with loyalty to the CBS corporation than journalistic integrity is both disgusting and unsurprising. He got fired 20 years too late.
charlie rose being mad about a movie calling out the corporate media he works for. good. telling truth to power. corporations shouldnt be in charge of our news.
This is a(nother) classic masterpiece from Michael Mann, all the stars were aligned for The Insider, everything is great and in it's right place, the acting, the score, the script, the photography - and i'm still pissed off to this day that the movie was robbed by the Academy in 1999, in favour of the highly overrated American Beauty.
The film didn't do the box office it was expected to do--the theme is too strong, and people shy away from anything like that unless it's more simply done. This story is complex and spoke truth to power. Masterpiece.
Was going to write a genuine think piece about the insidious manner in which charlie rose attempted to belittle Mann & assign him an unwarranted failure for the movie's lack of box office success, but after reading the comments I see that everybody gets it. His bias was criminally blatant & unbecoming of one of his journalistic stature
It is difficult to find the words that, I feel, describe Michael Mann's demeanor while discussing his magnificent film "The Insider". I will try : Focused, Clear, Courageous, Strong. The film greatly impressed me and his inner strength to create this film impresses me. Timeless and masterful.
Truly a fantastic film with incredible dialogue and an intriguing story. "Tortious interference"......"you've got your Rights and you've got your lefts..."
A brilliant film. A true thriller, you become absorbed by the story and you believe in the characters which separates the quality of this film with others. Top marks, I wish more films had this quality.
This interviews get off to such an insane start when Rose professes his “loyalty” to 60 Minutes and Mike Wallace. Kudos to laying your cards on the table, but why play this hand unless your aim is to intimidate? And true to form, Rose spends the rest of the interview badgering Mann.
