A film about news is also a film about crime.
Everyone is a sinner, and silence is the most serious sin.
The film reveals the scandal of the church, but it stands on the most essential point of Christ, a kind of moralism, struggle and atonement.
What impressed me the most about this film was not the resistance of the newspaper, on the contrary, it was that there was too little resistance. We thought-as we have been talking about in the film-how the church would cover the sky with one hand and how to "control everything", but this is not the case. The most critical file was made public only by mentioning a motion. When Mike went to the judge, the only obstruction was the verbal "These are very sensitive files" "Do you think you still have the integrity of editing by doing this?"
However, once the affirmative choice was made, the Red Sea separated from the middle, the problem was solved in this way, and victory came.
Finally, the report came out. There were no unexpected demonstrations and curses. Instead, more and more victims revealed and confided. Victory came so easily and so logically.
So maybe it's not that we can't win, but that we don't want to win at all. Satan's real name is called "It's hard to return." Inertia is the most serious sin, and each of us is not immune. Victory is always a matter of course. We are just resisting victory and the arrival of justice, but we shed tears afterwards saying that Satan is too strong.
If we are tiny, wouldn't our sin be even smaller? You must be honest, especially with yourself.
