4.0 out of 5 stars Fast moving, entertaining story starring the lovely Marisa T, 28 Oct 2000
This review is from: The Paper [1994] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie has Keaton enjoying himself as the newspaper man trying to live up to his principles (journalist's principles!), balancing his ambition with the needs of his heavily pregnant (and ambitious) journalist wife (Tomei). Full of very cleaver moments, excellent casting and superb acting from a highly professional cast list. All benefit from the light touch of the one and only Ron Howard (Ritchie Cunningham in Happy Days)in the director's chair. This movie is a joy to watch, with some brilliant touchs but does not challenge the brain too much. If you like interlinking stories/characters coming together into a grand finale, then don't miss The Paper. For Tomei fans then this is the lady at her comic/dramatic peak although far from the depth of her later work. A very good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars I will not and I shall not tell a lie !, 27 Mar 2006
By Jacques COULARDEAU "A soul doctor, so to say" (OLLIERGUES France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Paper [DVD] [1994] (DVD)
This is probably not a masterpiece but it is a good film. It shows with some realism the hectic life journalism leads to. To be a journalist is to have a completely crazy life in which family, friends, regularity are dreams you cannot in any way respect or just entertain. That kind of atmosphere has already been shown and used in other films. But this film insists on the social, moral and human responsibility that a journalist must live for and with : never tell something that is not true if you know it is not true, in one word you must never lie. You might be wrong, misinformed or many other things but what you publish you must believe - and even know - it is the truth. Then to pair this fight for journalistic ethics to the birth of one's own son or child, is a marvellous idea. For a journalist it is the most important and most exhilarating fact in life to be told his or her article is the truth, especially if it enables two young black teenagers to be freed and exonerated from a false accusation. This kind of film should be shown to all our young people for them to learn that what is important in life is not money, nor what they believe in or think, but only what is true, and that a man must be absolutely free to tell the truth, all the truth, nothing but the truth.
