News films are another big leader in Hollywood genre films

Another news film released at the same time as spotlight is truth. To be honest, truth is more appealing in terms of drama, but the charm of spotlight is probably because it is not so dramatic, it is very calm, step by step With tears and tears, layer upon layer of the truth of an incident has been opened, a little bit, a little bit shocked to you. The rhythm is better, and it won't let the excessive tension weaken the deep thinking behind the story.

One thing I was very moved after watching it was the power of the movie. This Catholic child abuse case was a raging case, and I heard it very early, but because I was in the far east at the time, I didn't really experience any feelings in this incident. To me, it was just a shock of "Oh!" when I opened the newspaper, but the next second I turned to see a piece of news on the next page. It was the movie that gave me the power to empathize and let me imagine what it meant.

I actually don’t really like the episode where Markroffelo broke out in the film. Anyone who is upright will feel indignation and grief when encountering such a thing, but this kind of plot will be "vulgar" in this film because of a news story. For films like this, your position should not be too obvious. In order to show your neutrality, expressions that are too sharp will damage this balance. Of course, there can be no news without a stand, and there will certainly be, but the performance should be cryptic. So many details in the film are very good. For example, Mark asked Rachel, did you tell your husband about this report, she said, no, he went to church three times a week. For example, Rachel’s grandmother who took her to church since she was a child, after the report came out, she held the newspaper with trembling hands, and forced her crying and said to Rachel, darling, can you go and pour me a cup of tea. For example, Michael Keaton asked the principal who wanted to cover this matter, what kind of sports do you play. The principal said, what happened to football. Michael said that my classmate who was sexually assaulted many years ago belonged to the hockey team and sexually assaulted him. It is the coach of the team. What you and I should think is, if they chose us in the first place?

This level is very good.

    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".
