The Necessity of Truth: Censorship in Nora Ephron’s “The Boston Photographs” Originally published in 1975, Nora Ephron’s essay “The Boston Photographs” is both still relevant and controversial almost forty years later. It deals with the series of three photographs that were published in newspapers across the country. The most important one shows a mother and child falling off a collapsed fire escape. Both have their limbs outstretched. If both had survived, maybe the reaction would have been different
contrast, in Nora Ephron's The Boston Photographs the families that appear in the photographs display what appears to be tiredness of how they have the ability to live. While a long time period separates these two pieces of work, both tell about families that appear to struggle due to the effects of poverty in their everyday lives. However, whereas Rodriquez illustrates the willpower and hunger to want to move on from his lifestyle that he is living and overcome his impoverish state, Ephron demonstrates
rest of the film follows Harry and Sally friendship while both are dealing with their recently ended relationships and are trying to find love in the city.
