The spearhead of the film spreads from one point to the whole, and it is also the conventional way of human nature exploration. The road to rights protection and punishment is often not a single person, but a system. In the case of my country’s anti-corruption, what is going on is a chain of interests. Corruption is like the root of a big tree. The roots are complicated and complicated. Only by digging deep can we know how deep the roots are.
The case that Robbie took over was originally an individual case of Father Geoghan. They started from the suspicion of Patriarch Laura and compared the previous case of Porter, turning the individual case into a double case, through a victim organization. According to Phil, the head of SNAP, the number of tainted priests has grown to 13. 13 have already made everyone incredulous, but the investigation is far from over. The victims are springing up like mushrooms, the team is getting bigger and bigger, and the corresponding problematic priest team is getting more and more deviated from ordinary people’s perceptions. They are checked one by one. In the list of priests, in Boston alone, the "Focus" column group counted as many as 87 people. This is definitely a huge and heavy blow to human nature and to the entire society.
As the investigation progresses, as the number of questionable priests increases, people will always feel a sense of fear. According to the number of thrillers, the exposed person may launch a counterattack at any time, shed blood and sacrifice at any time, and suppress the investigator. However, the reaction of the film is not fierce. Although the obstructive sound exists, the action is not obvious. This shows that In many cases, the cover-up of the power is just a kind of directional thinking. If the victim is silent because of timidity, it will cause the terrible consequences of long-term concealment of criminal facts and impunity for criminals, and threats still breed in the corners of society.
Of course, most people are weak in the face of crime, and crime can breed soil, and children belong to an absolutely weak group. Matt in the film also found out that most of the children who were victimized came from low-income and fatherless divorces. Families, because such children are very embarrassed, they are less likely to speak up.
The victims in the film are mostly divorced families without fathers, because the father has an irreplaceable influence in the growth of a child. The father symbolizes the side of strength. When facing danger, the children under the influence of the father often dare to adopt Action, and family integrity is also very important to the growth of children. If parents are harmonious, their body and mind will be healthier, and the shaping of their character will be more comprehensive. Most criminals choose those with withdrawn personality and certain psychological defects. child. The perpetrator avoids the strong in this way, and is obviously afraid of resistance beyond his control. This is a relatively clever way of crime, which reflects the criminal’s guilty mentality. This type of offender is often the least shameful of people. , The most hated category. The Danish work "Hunting" proves this from a relative perspective. Lucas was insisted by the girl to commit the violation, which put a heavy burden on Lucas's life, a lie of the child, and the innocent bear his life. No matter how you argue, the exchange is still cold-eyed. No matter which river you jump into, this grievance is hard to clear. While sympathizing with the protagonist and lamenting the terrible words, we are also aware of the zero tolerance for children’s crimes in this society. I can't wait to smash the corpses of such criminals. Letting children get involved in the entanglements of the adult world, letting children bear the suffering, the pure children's world is ruthlessly defiled, can only explain the sadness of this world.
There are many movies that reflect children being sexually assaulted. As Matt said, this is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Dave in the American film "Mystic River" was kidnapped at the age of ten and sexually assaulted by an old man, which changed his life; the girl of the same name in the South Korean film "Sowon" was on her way to school on a rainy day. Being insulted by the wretched uncle, this incident almost collapsed her family; He Yuling in the Hong Kong film "Young Prostitutes" was repeatedly violated by her stepfather in middle school, and this injury was deeply impressed in her heart.
The sexual assault in "Focus" is not only huge in scale, but the victims are innumerable. The most unacceptable thing is the identity of the offender-the priest.
The priest is the person in charge of a church and is the soul guide of the believer. People respect the priest just like respecting God. Who would have thought that this group is secretly so dirty. Belief is the psychological support for many people to live. The maggots that make people’s hearts chewed on them. Originally thought they were following angels. After the mask was removed, the angels turned into demons. What is the meaning of people’s lives? search?
It is not terrible to destroy the material, but to fear the destruction of the spirit.
If the appearance of the offender is as easy to recognize as a mouse, the world may not be so terrible, because we can hit the mouse when we see it, but in many cases, the offender is a wolf in human skin, and the priests have the best one. Human skins that people ignore, they appear in our faith dignifiedly, blinding our eyes, but ruining the children's future in a dark corner.
Such criminals are truly terrible, so we have to ask, why do these superior spiritual guides embark on the path of evil?
When Sasha interviewed one of the problematic priests, Ronald, he always emphasized that he was not trying to satisfy himself, and that he had been sexually assaulted. This is like saying that his purpose of sexually assaulting a child is to retaliate, or sexual assaulting a child is commonplace for priests. It is one of the necessary skills for priests. When most of them are crazy, some few do not. Expressing strong opposition is of course unreasonable and even ridiculous. A researcher, Sepe, said that all this starts with priest celibacy, but only half of the clergy are celibate, which shows that clergy do not do a good job in abstinence. How can priests under the banner of celibacy solve their personal desires? ? That is pedophilia, which involves the majority of priests. It is a secretive atmosphere, and the Catholic high-level knows all this, and they take a tolerant attitude towards it. Since the church has intervened in this matter, even if many victims or members of the public have exposed the ugly side of certain priests, they have been suppressed by the church by various means, or the whistleblower has been vilified, discredited, and let his point of view stand. If you can't hold back, or let the prominent bishop come out to refute publicly, the powerless whistleblower will be beaten upside down, and the crime will be deeply hidden.
"Focus" allowed this scandal to be announced to the world because it relied on the power of the media and the faithful reports of all conscientious media people in black and white. Therefore, the burden of the media is very heavy, and their responsibility is not to beautify, not to perfuse, not to entertain, not to sensationalize, but to justice.
Robbie and the others are righteous. Although Robbie, who used to be in charge of the urban section, did not follow up the list sent, they started from the beginning and completed the report step by step, so that the crime can no longer be hidden. Later, they will ask themselves. There was no regret at the time, they gave the children in the shadows an explanation, and let the children in the sun no longer be harmed.
