Paper Summary:

This paper provides a full summary and analysis of Mann's movie, "The Insider". The paper focuses on the concept of human values and morals and how these are challenged when faced with controversial situations.

From the Paper:

"The Insider is a compelling and provocative drama, which is a very thrilling tale of what happens when a person is bound by the moral and rational appeals and responsibilities or what we would otherwise be calling deontology. It is very close to the human values and seems very practical in approach. The way the plot builds up truly reflects upon the work of the director and the various actors. It is a true masterpiece and probably one of the best works ever produced by Michael Mann who has other smash hits like "Heat" to his acclaimed credit. Too bad that he was not able to win many Oscars for his masterpiece although he did win a few nominations. But he sure did win the hearts of many viewers worldwide. What makes it all the more interesting that it seems so real that the viewers is kept wondering at times whether it is really a movie or some inspired story where names and figures have been changed. So much so that one is made to think about the complexities in life and a common man can relate to it. It is all about the drives for power, lust and greed and how one has to think about protecting oneself and the family."
