true power

Pastor - the authority of a religion, it is hard to imagine being associated with despised or even morally depraved child sexual abuse. But the truth is so surreal, not just a connection, but not an exception. And it has become an open secret under this system. But after all, the victims are a minority of vulnerable groups. Even if there is a faint cry for help, they are ignored by the high hanging people who have nothing to do with themselves, even the media people... But the justice that is late is also In justice, there are always people who can't let go of this hurdle. Everyone attaches great importance to the only thread they hold, believing that there is dirt and filth at the other end of the thread. The process of a small number of weak fighting against the mighty power is bound to be difficult, and the final victory is also full of glory because of this difficulty. There will always be those who have unshakable conscience and don’t want to let the truth go dark forever. There are also people whose children are the same age as the victims. There are also many journalists who are still sticking to their original aspirations when they entered the industry. I’m not sure, but I’m idealistic. I believe that as long as the former survives, the society is still bright and promising.

Reminds me of a sentence I encountered in Chai Jing's "Seeing" when I was still in high school: Reality is powerful. I liked it inexplicably at the time, and now I have a better reason: to seek truth from facts in this magical world.

    If you give the script to Sorkin, I can imagine how sensational and idealistic this story can be, but except for the scene where the children sing Christmas carol, the whole story progresses very calmly and restrained, and the ending subtitles are the same as the big empty opening. Makes a cold sweat.

    Best Picture Oscar Hello! The temperament is similar to the "presidential team", and it shows the quality of the documentary, but it is not all. But the calm and methodical narrative tone that peels away the shocking scene layer by layer is very suitable for news style. Including the restoration of the era in place in the style of painting, it makes people feel like it is on the scene. The performances of the entire Taiwanese class are even more precise and appropriate, completely becoming the role itself. It seems that Michael Keaton is very expected to become the "Best Picture Mascot".
