The victory of this kind of film is the awakening of public rights

The most publicly significant film in 2015. Of course, for a big reason, the script of the movie comes from a real story, and the story is shocking enough. The priest should represent the most benevolent and pure aspect of religion, but when the social phenomenon of sexual abuse of children was deeply rooted in front of the audience, everyone had to reflect on the peaceful and peaceful surface of society. There was so much hidden. The dirty side of the unknown.

The movie is called Focus, which is the name of the column that reports the story and the core content of the movie, so the name is very good. And I personally appreciate the narrative method of the film. There is no nonsense in the whole film, and no climax is deliberately set off to arouse the emotions of the audience. The whole film feels like telling a true story quietly. For a documentary film, this is a very effective way of expression. The content is filmed so that the audience can think about it in accordance with the plot, rather than relying on incitement. By the way, I really appreciate the working style of the members of the focus group in the movie. Robby is old and capable, rich in social resources, and caring enough for his subordinates; Mike is enthusiastic and patient, and is good at dealing with those who are difficult to deal with; Sacha is a typical intellectual woman; Marty is similar to a striker in this working group but is absolutely amazing. Not only this is a diverse role. What people love most is their working atmosphere and work style. They will do all tasks in a timely manner. If there are any problems, they will discuss collectively. This way, they can often put forward solutions quickly, and then make specific arrangements for the work. Solve your tasks efficiently. Such a working state is not a virtuous circle, but it is definitely an enviable working mode.

In fact, there are many similar films. Even if the shooting techniques of such films are a little bit worse, it will not affect everyone's overall praise. On the one hand, because there are still few such subjects after all, on the other hand, the audience does feel the feeling when watching the film, because this is something that is very close to everyone's life. Earlier this year, "Bridge of Spies" was also adapted from a real story. Although its social influence is not as good as this film, we also feel the social background through the experience of starring Hanks in the spy exchange. The right is trivial.

The endless telephone calls at the end of the film make people cry. This is an affirmation to journalists and also allows us to pay tribute to those journalists who have never met before and who have spoken out for the victims and the society under tremendous social pressure.
