銀幕再現：驚天大陰謀、竊聽大陰謀

兩集《教父》之間，哥普拉在《竊聽大陰謀》找來真赫曼飾演竊聽專家，拍出七十年代精彩絕倫的陰謀電影，揭示出當下社會現實，制度暴力鋪天蓋地，無人能擺脫被監視的命運。《驚天大陰謀》更是美國政治驚慄片王，從側面揭示改變美國政治生態的水門事件竊聽醜聞，彰顯新聞工作者行使第四權的威力。

在11月19日的映後談，何思穎談到同樣是竊聽的行業類型電影，《竊聽大陰謀》提出了對資本主義和職業道德的質疑，而香港的《竊聽風雲》則對竊聽有較正面的看法，為社會安寧起監察的作用。

Back to the Screen: THE CONVERSATION and ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN

Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION is a standout conspiracy thriller of the early 70s. Gene Hackman portrayed a respected but self-conscious surveillance expert, revealing the brutal reality of mistrust and the uncomfortable irony of living in a surveillance state. In another classic of '70s paranoia ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, it champions an attitude towards journalistic integrity through the investigation of the Watergate scandal.
In the post-screening talk on 19 Nov, film critic Sam Ho compared the interesting difference in views on surveillance in films. THE CONVERSATION questions capitalism, morality and work ethics, while Hong Kong's OVERHEARD focuses on its positive role for maintaining public order.
