    Get rid of all horse-grabbing and curiosity, use extremely calm and restrained expressions to counteract prejudice and sentimentality, secretly accumulate energy and peel back layers, such as a solid and responsible news report, leaving judgments and emotions to the audience, and insisting on a realistic attitude makes people admire. The closing subtitles encourage more attention to investigative reporters and ask the victims to speak up. After the report is over, you can't stop thinking. Isn't...

    The whole movie is like an excellent news report itself, stating the ins and outs, introducing characters, searching for evidence, and solving difficulties. Calm and organized, it is said that the real reporter's office and living environment are restored very appropriately (no one yells in the office...). Of course, in order to maintain this tone, the story of the news itself is weakened, and the character of the reporter itself cannot be deeply...

    In this era, religion seems to be becoming more and more hypocritical, but the power of free media is pervasive! As a biopic that discloses Catholic scandals, it controls the speed and rhythm of similar thrillers. It is clear, well-organized, and rigorous, which perfectly restores a media person's journey of reporting. The interaction of the big-name group dramas under such an excellent script is even more exciting! [This is all for...

    A very stable and solid investigative thriller, which reproduces the critical process of the Focus Reporting Group investigating a large number of Catholic priests' sexual abuse scandals. The original report won a Pulitzer Prize, and the film is like a heavy documentary literature. Keaton and Ruflow showed a very high level of performance, and McAdams was in good condition, and the film was very Oscar-like. Keaton answered the phone at the end of the office and called hello to focus, the...

    It's a bit like "car crash", it's all group drama movies, everyone has superb performance. Focusing on the Catholic sexual assault scandal, slashing throats step by step to verify. The most successful film is to cut child molestation and sexual orientation, pointing out that this is the top-down institutional ugliness of the church, the world's most filthy organization. After watching it, people will lose all respect for...

    How do I see the various media ecology shown in the movie?

    This is my second time watching Spotlight. It's never too much to watch a good movie a few times, especially a story that's always on the topic.

    The film tells the story of the Boston Globe's "Spotlight" column investigating the sexual abuse of boys by Catholic bishops and priests. The film is based...

    Focus: Social development needs the power of the media

    Occasionally I would go to the church to sit, watching countless devout believers with their hands folded and bowing their heads in silent prayer, and instructing priests to have reasoned, evidence-based and inspiring sermons. Listening to the ethereal and pure singing of the choir, the overall...

Spotlight quotes

  • Eric Macleish: I already sent you a list of names.

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: What are you talking about? To whom?

    Eric Macleish: The Globe. Years ago. After the Porter case, I got plenty of calls. I had twenty priests in Boston alone, but I couldn't go after 'em without the press. So I sent you guys a list of names, and you buried it.

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: I want those names tomorrow.

    Eric Macleish: Check your god damn clips, Robby.
