focus

I like watching documentaries. Because there are few opportunities to look at a social event from all angles. This one has been praised in many ways, but in my heart it was a little bit underwhelming, because I can only look at this event from the perspective of journalists reporting. The systematic criticism of the incident, the thoughts of the unabashed priest, and the lives of the victims are not deep enough. So it makes my feelings about human nature not so bone-chilling.
Of course, as a movie, it is a rare decision to give up in this way, and it is also a pure good reason. As a memo for journalists, it is also inspirational and perfect enough. The plot itself is also pretty good. I always thought there was a big conspiracy or something, but in fact, it was the person in charge of the focus group who ignored the clues from a few years ago. Sometimes conspiracies are not deliberately created in life, but we all ignore some things, probably Things that feel a little strange are slowly accepted, and no one wants to delve into them.
