Background to a Journalistic Scandal
“Truth” is about the scandal over a 2004 CBS “60 Minutes” report investigating President George W. Bush’s military service, which noted that he had exploited family connections and political privilege to avoid military service in Vietnam. After the story breaks, CBS  news producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) and CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Robert Redford) attract scrutiny.<br /><br />The film follows the downfall of Rather and Mapes. They believe their report is based on solid research and credible interviewees, only to see other news organizations find flaws in the story after the fact. This forces network executives to do what they have to in order to save face and preserve the news division’s reputation. The jobs of Rather, Mapes, and their team are on the line.<br /><br />Because the film is based on Mapes’ book, it is sympathetic to both herself and Rather, but still raises interesting questions about agendas — both of the news reporters and those who attacked the aired story. Issues of journalistic responsibility and fairness are raised, but there is an emphasis on the underlying drive to get the scoop and beat competitors at all costs, frequently leading to shortcuts. High on the success of her expose of torture in Abu Ghraib, Mapes is filled with a combination of arrogance and determination to break another huge story, but what is perceived to be the biggest story of the year results in an unforeseen, career-destroying backlash.<br /><br />Both Redford and Blanchett are excellent. Redford has a tough job, since Rather was such a well-known presence on television, but manages to channel the essence of Rather, capturing the anchor’s vocal style and physicality.  Blanchett portrays a range of emotions from elation to dejection, with anger, resentment, and defensiveness part of the mix. As she circles the wagons when the public outcry increases, we see her self-confidence and self-image begin to erode. The distinguished supporting cast includes Dennis Quaid, Stacy Keach, Elisabeth Moss, Bruce Greenwood, and Topher Grace.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray release include a Q & A with Cate Blanchett, Elisabeth Moss, and writer/director James Vanderbilt; commentary with Vanderbilt and the film’s producers; and the featurette “The Team.” A digital HD copy is included.
