This film is like the opposite of last year's [Nightcrawler]. It also describes the journalists. [Nightcrawler] exposes the ugly side of the industry. ] Really tell you what the meaning of a journalist is, not to be grandstanding, not to attract attention, but to report the truth, and to dig out what can really change this society. The editor-in-chief Robbie even gave up publishing news at the first time for the comprehensiveness of the news, and timing is difficult to change in this industry. This film is adapted from real events, with almost no fancy techniques. The simple and straightforward linear narrative is particularly fascinating. It uncovers the truth in a slow and unhurried manner, and you follow the reporter's eyes with every clue. To discover, as if you were there. Mark Ruffalo gave me a new surprise. His recent performances as a supporting role have been more brilliant than the leading role. In fact, perhaps due to the overall high quality of the group portrait scheduling in this film, the four reporters have been given sufficient The space develops character arcs, and each person has distinctive and three-dimensional characteristics. In fact, I thought I had to restrain myself from 10,000 words of criticism of religion after reading this, but the truth is that I have nothing to say about religion, because although he is picking up the social scum under the protection of religion, his methods Calmly restrained from discussing the matter, without deliberate incitement or use of the topic. This should be the only film this year that can compete with [Room] in terms of script compactness. Coincidentally, both have more or less teenage sexual assault as a background theme, but [Room] focuses on individuals, [Focus] As pointed out in the film, it is to expose the entire church system, which is the greatest authority in Western culture. This topic is far more taboo than political parties, and it is more difficult to break down. So from a social perspective, [Focus] is better than [Room], and the style of being stable for all ages is obviously more like the taste of the academy, so I dare to press the best film of this year by fifty cents. Then recently, because I need to do a field research, the interview skills in the interview are quite worth learning. I recommend the friends of sociology and anthropology to watch it.
